On Calvin Yu posting of iPad squeezing paper news out:
Mobile device (powerful display) + cloud (infinite storage and powerful algorithms) that provide instant news (video) interactively and instant recall of historical data gives rise to new paradigm of learning and knowledge creation.
I am interested in how can the social network deployed to process "written information" (for a time being) for the purpose of creating new knowledge.
We do that manually in writing a post-graduate thesis. The first part is called "literature review." basically it is a systematic way of gathering, sorting, categorizing, ordering and generalizing past records of knowledge. I hope the network can do that in the future.
A good food for thought on how social media can make history.

I think the development of on-line social networking will also change the way we document and understand history. Images and videos from everybody handphones can reconstruct what has 'really' happened. Wiki is model of how every body can contribute their knowledges. We may need a Newsgroup (with sound reputation) that everybody can contribute part of history by sending in images and videos. Our written history may become picturial history.
Peter Liu I am not interested in "history" per se. There exist too many view points and angles. I am more interested in creating the future and creating new knowledge from the existing knowledge. So far this is done by human brain - reading, observing and creating with not much help. Can the ever so powerful computers help?
