Change: more connections

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: 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

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 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)

Back to my working day

Three ways of looking at this 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

Again: Why?

Cost of sharing: 0 Cost of publishing: 0 Cost of group forming: 0

Not just technology It’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
