From Words to Wordfeud & What it Means

From words to wordfeud & what it means
Mathias Klang

Information is all around us

Most of history was speechless & the history of writing is a joke

We are formed by evolution to hunt energy rich food & information

Information production costs: speech  writing  printing  telegraph 

Storage costs: moores law

Technology is agent and effect of change

Was the last decade social?

Information disdain. Are libraries quaint, outdated & nostalgic?

Teaching an understanding of information. Coping with information obesity. Source criticism.

Long live the humanities!!

Problem 1: We are stupid?

Problem 2: We don’ t know what we don ’ t know

Problem 3: difference between who I want to be & who I am…

Problem 4: The keepers of algorithms know this

There have always been gatekeepers.

We need to understand the gatekeepers desire for information

You don’ t have to be unconscious to be without consciousness

Thank you.
