The tools I use
Why?
Change: more connections
• Internet makes the world smaller. People are more connected, and have more connections
• Maintaining connections is time consuming. New ways to support that emerge.
• People have more diverse social networks and environments.
Change: more connections
Change: higher speed
Change: higher speed
• More connections mean more exchanges, higher dynamis. This increases speed of change.
• More situations where immediate response is needed.
• Need for more conscious choice what actions are effective.
Change: information abundance
• Controlling / evaluating ‘all’ information is impossible. We are immersed in information, like a landscape.
• New strategies emerge to deal with the information volume. New applications are built on top of this abundance.
• You make sense of the information that reaches you. New information skills. (*) Social networks as information filter. You actively share info about yourself to be visible in the network.
* information literacy competency standards (door the US Association for College and Research Libraries)
Change: information abundance
Quantitative source
• More connections
• More speed
• More information
Qualitative answers:
• Active personal role (sense making, producing)
• Other information skills (information literacy, multitasking/fast switching)
• Different tools and work forms (Web 2.0, Open Space)
Change
Back to my working day
• The work I do
• The information skills I use
• The tools I use
Correspond to three qualitative answers
• Pro-active role, own scope of influence
• Networked information skills
• Social media tools
Three ways of looking at this day
Again: Why?
Cost of sharing: 0Cost of publishing: 0
Cost of group forming: 0
Not just technologyIt’s structural
It is cheaper to organize your own event ..... than
to find one that fits
Examples: barcamp.org, reboot.dk
It is cheaper to start your own political
movement than to find one that fits
Even if you’re never on the net!
Maybe not, but not business as usual either
