The digital revolution and internet have revolutionized transaction speed and connected people in ways that were previously impossible. The promise of this revolution has been to allow broader and deeper access into human knowledge, producing synergies of unprecedented impact. This has been only-partially realized: The discourse has certainly broadened, a shared global language has emerged, and time-zone defying collaborations are now not even interesting to talk about.
The real promise has yet to emerge, though. Current activities in “Big Data” mining, broadening access to digital communication, and social media’s growth have masked the fact that there are still vast differences between human information architectures and machine information architectures. In this presentation, I’ll talk about some of the aspects and implications of this mismatch.
