The author of the breakout hit Here Comes Everybody reveals how new technology is changing us from consumers to collaborators, unleashing a torrent of creative production that will transform our world. For decades, technology encouraged people to squander their time and intellect as passive consumers. Today, tech has finally caught up with human potential. In Cognitive Surplus, Internet guru Clay Shirky forecasts the thrilling changes we will all enjoy as new digital technology puts our untapped resources of talent and goodwill to use at last. Since we Americans were suburbanized and educated by the postwar boom, we've had a surfeit of intellect, energy, and time-what Shirky calls a cognitive surplus. But this abundance had little impact on the common good because television consumed the lion's share of it-and we consume TV passively, in isolation from one another. Now, for the first time, people are embracing new media that allow us to pool our efforts at vanishingly low cost. The results of this aggregated effort range from mind expanding-reference tools like Wikipedia-to lifesaving-such as Ushahidi.com, which has allowed Kenyans to sidestep government censorship and report on acts of violence in real time. Shirky argues persuasively that this cognitive surplus-rather than being some strange new departure from normal behavior-actually returns our society to forms of collaboration that were natural to us up through the early twentieth century. He also charts the vast effects that our cognitive surplus-aided by new technologies-will have on twenty-first-century society, and how we can best exploit those effects. Shirky envisions an era of lower creative quality on average but greater innovation, an increase in transparency in all areas of society, and a dramatic rise in productivity that will transform our civilization. The potential impact of cognitive surplus is enormous. As Shirky points out, Wikipedia was built out of roughly 1 percent of the man-hours that Americans spend watching TV every year. Wikipedia and other current products of cognitive surplus are only the iceberg's tip. Shirky shows how society and our daily lives will be improved dramatically as we learn to exploit our goodwill and free time like never before.Watch a Video What to Expect When You're Expecting Your Healthcare to Healthcare in America is on shaky ground Trumps bill failed to reach a vote and though the ACA remains in place no one is certain what will happen with Home Page - Welcome! - Teachtools Dr Chris Toulouse Mass Media & American Politics Department of Politics Fordham University Spring 2017 Home Page Right to Private Property Internet Encyclopedia of The Right to Private Property The right to private property is the social-political principle that adult human beings may not be prohibited or prevented by anyone Hank the Angry Drunken Dwarf - Wikipedia Hank the Angry Drunken Dwarf; Born April 20 1962 Fall River Massachusetts: Died: September 4 2001 (aged 39) Fall River Massachusetts: Occupation: Entertainer Why the Congressional Budget Office's Rating of the Health The House just passed the new health care bill to replace the Affordable Care Act Itll now move to the Senate but its already gotten a lot of opposition and 9GAG Wikipedia 9GAG; 9GAGcom (Memento vom 17 Dezember 2010 im Internet Archive) 9GAGtv: Motto: Why So Serious? und 9GAG your daily source of fun und Go Fun yourself: Registrierung Explore the Role of Creativity in Education Cognitive Surplus and Creativity Television programs like Batman Bewitched and Love Boat initiate smiles and shared recollections for some individuals raised Clay Shirky's Internet Writings Clay Shirky I study the effects of the internet on society I've written two recent books on the subject: Here Comes Everybody: The Power of Organizing Without 8 Suggestions for Graduation remarks by Principals with [] from a longer post 8 Suggestions for Graduation Remarks by Principals published at Connected [] Netflix lets its staff take as much holiday as they want At Netflix the vacation policy is audaciously simple and simply audacious Salaried employees can take as much time off as they'd like whenever they want
