Information R/evolution

Back


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.

That's true rod ^_^

and yeah, the video is quite lovely. "The Machine is Us/ing us" was also mind-blowing...love this guy's work.

Good video, BTW. It is out-of-the-box-ish thinking.

Sally, I think there's a confusion of terms here. The video is referring to "evolution" as a gradual growth or change...of anything. In a general sense. Not evolutionary theory as it's described in biology or argued against by Christians. "Evolution" simply means growth or change - adaptation. So your religous outrage really isn't even necessary here.

The video's not talking about the origins of life, just about the way infomation is changing, which no one can deny. So chill.

I think that "sallyproductionz" knows that the video is not about evolution... she's just going Westminster-Baptist-Church-ish on us.

It's people like this we just have to deal with.
