“Information R/evolution” by Mike Wesch
A short post today, to share one of the several thought-provoking and creatively produced videos by Mike Wesch, assistant professor of cultural anthropology, Kansas State University, who with others is compiling an ethnography of YouTube (details can be found here).
Also, I recommend the Digital Ethnography blog kept by KSU faculty members and students.
On the Digitial Ethnography Channel on YouTube, Prof. Wesch describes his video (embedded below), titled "Information R/evolution":
This video explores the changes in the way we find, store, create, critique, and share information. This video was created as a conversation starter, and works especially well when brainstorming with people about the near future and the skills needed in order to harness, evaluate, and create information effectively.
Please let me know what other clips you’d like to see added to the video archives assembled by BlackboardTV. I can be reached at BbTV@blackboard.com.
