Innovation is about mashing together the KNOWN with the UNKNOWN .

Published knowledge is old knowledge : The art of intelligence in the 21st Century will be less concerned with integrating old knowledge and more concerned with using published knowledge as a path to exactly the right source or sources that can create new knowledge tailored to a new situation , in real time . - Robert Steele http://www.flickr.com/photos/fredarmitage/91520238/ The Known …

"We've talked for years about the digital divide and how, if you're on the wrong side of that technology access gap, you get left behind. I think there's the potential now for a kind of curiosity gap . Consider how much further ahead a curious student will be, compared with a student who lacks curiosity, in an environment in which he or she can reach out and grab new knowledge anytime, anywhere on all kinds of devices. If you're a curious person, you'll learn and grow; if you're not, you could just drift along while others race ahead.“ - Michael Wesch cultural anthropologist http://www.flickr.com/photos/drp/1395403

“ The illiterate of the future are not those who can't read or write but those who cannot learn, unlearn , and re-learn .” - Alvin Toffler http://www.flickr.com/photos/ogimogi/2253657555/ The Unknown … Provide Spaces Resources Tools

“ Playful Families in the Library Is an ongoing project in a project partnership consisting of three public libraries and two separate university and research centres with expertise concerning play and interaction design.
The project tries to gain knowledge and test what role play could have in the public library. Children’s play has always
existed in the public libraries, but more as a secondary activity next to taking out materials or using the computer.
Maybe the library should play another role, to be a place that actually promotes play among children and parents and
disseminates the culture and knowledge of play.”
Aarhus Public Library, Denmark
