I talk about the evolution of digital content into services, the role of sensors in the future of the web, about the idea of man-machine collaboration in internet services, and about the role of social networking in building content.
Government For The People, By The People, In the 21st CenturyTim O'Reilly
My joint keynote with Jennifer Pahlka of Code for America at the Accela Engage conference in San Diego on August 5, 2014. We talk about current advances in technology, and how they call for anyone developing services to put their users at the center. In particular, we talk about how these lessons apply to government. Making government work by the people and for the people in a 21st century way is central to restoring faith in government.
This is the original keynote file for my talk at the Smart Disclosure Summit in Washington DC on March 30, 2012. I will upload a PDF with notes separately.
Networks, swarms and policy: what collective intelligence means for policy ma...Alberto Cottica
Policy makers are taking up network thinking; citizens are self-organizing in smart swarms displaying collectivley intelligent behaviour. I address the implications of these phenomena for policy making, and look at some tools being built by a project called CATALYST that might help both citizens and policy makers.

In just under 50 years, computers have gone from frightening behemoths to countercultural totems to everyday consumer fashion accessories. The history of new media helps us understand why it is so ideologically powerful today.
These lecture slides are from my Masters unit, Future Media Platforms, taught at Bournemouth University.
Technology has enabled many individuals and institutions to bring change to the communities they care about. Civil society organizations can view that as a threat or they can evolve to take advantage of these trends and the enabling technologies.

The exponential growth of social media and the ubiquitous use of mobile technology has changed the way we communicate both socially and for many also professionally. Digital spaces have to some extent removed barriers enabling social learning that is no longer constrained geographically (spacial boundaries) or by time-zone differences (temporal boundaries).
It is therefore timely to consider our digital capabilities and how these can be used to communicate and collaborate; and through interconnectedness provide opportunities for lifelong and lifewide learning that extend beyond the formal learning we are all familiar with.
This talk will consider why a professional online presence is so important; the value of using social media to develop global personal learning networks; and how through open sharing with our interconnected networks it is possible to develop our scholarly practice.
Networked learning: experience the educational power of the network and the participatory culture of the web Presented at the Asia Society Ning.com is a free web-based platform that allows users to create their own social networking sites with many of the same features available on Facebook or MySpace. (The word “ning” means “peace” in Chinese.) Sites created with Ning allow virtual communities to form around common interests and around the world. Come explore how participating on a Ning—and even creating your own—enables students and teachers alike to engage in networked learning.

Blocked by YouTube - Unseen digital intermediation for social imaginaries in ...University of Sydney
YouTube is one of the most globally utilised online content sharing sites, enabling new commercial enterprise, education opportunities and facilities for vernacular creativity (Burgess, 2006). Its user engagement demonstrates significant capacity to develop online communities, alongside its arguably more popular use as a distribution platform to monetise one’s branded self (Senft, 2013). However, as a subset of Alphabet Incorporated, its access is often restricted by governments of Asian Pacific countries who disagree with the ideology of the business. Despite this, online communities thrive in these countries, bringing into question the sorts of augmentations used by its participants. This article reframes the discussion beyond restrictive regulation to focus on the DIY approach (augmentation) of community building through the use of hidden infrastructures (algorithms). This comparative study of key YouTube channels in several Asia Pacific countries highlights the sorts of techniques that bypass limiting infrastructures to boost online community engagement and growth. Lastly, this article reframes the significance of digital intermediation to highlight the opportunities key agents contribute to strengthening social imaginaries within the Asia Pacific region.
Want to be indispensible and highly marketable professionally? Be a source of new ideas and knowledge. Since knowledge is a driving force in innovation and business competitiveness, being an avid learner is a must in today's dynamic business environment. This presentation introduces open educational resources and how to use social media to create a personal learning network. Presented at the Business Women's Forum, Harrisburg PA 4/28/11.

3. “The emergence of the Internet and digital technologies is
transforming the very processes of innovation and boosting
economic growth in dramatic new ways.”
4. “This impact is elusive, however, because the actual effects of
information and communications technology (ICT) are not
always immediately felt, properly measured or wellunderstood.”
5. We drive into the future using only our rearview mirror.

public debate. Millions are acquiring the language of
participative democracy.

successful or not,

14. A generation of young people, who speak a new
language, are aware that all the knowledge they need is
available and in continuous improvement in the net.
Experts are been replaced by those who understand the
language of the network.
26. Welcome to the Hacker culture
“Hackers, to create value, need free access to knowledge”
Hacking is using knowledge we have about a system of
any type to develop functionalities for which it was not
originally designed, or to make it work according to
new objectives..
For hackers, knowledge itself is a motivation for
production, and in general, for life and work in
community. They don’t learn to produce more or better,
they produce to know more.

“Instead of metal and paper,
electronic information becomes
the true medium of exchange”

longer capital, nor natural
resources, nor labor, it is and
will be knowledge” Peter Drucker

brain represented by the links set between nodes.
52. Our "Connectome" determines our cognitive and
inteligence capacity
If we share the same genome, its the connectome that
makes more intelligent
53. Social Origin of Good
Ideas
"People who have the best ideas are those that
function as bridges between different areas of the
organization."
Employees working in "cohesive groups or teams"
tend to think and act the same way this homogeneity
ultimately annihilates creativity.

54. Robert has the best ideas.
With fewer connections he can harness the power of the cognitive diversity
He is broker of information
He has access to knowledge that is isolated or in clusters
He is a connector with the ability to release the knowledge and make it
available to the whole.
