We are delighted to have our own Howard Rheingold (hlr) with us to talk about his new book Net Smart: How to Thrive Online.
Jon Lebkowsky (jonl) will be leading the discussion; and a number of alumni from Howard's online class, MindAmp, through his Rheingold University ( will be chiming in. Expect this to be wide-ranging and extremely practical. Those of us who have had the good fortune to come under Howard's tutelage can all attest to his mastery of the subject. Hello, Howard! And thanks for the intro, Ted! There are many books about the Internet, digital media, and digital culture. What, in your opinion, sets this book apart from the others? I don't know of any other books that explain how individuals can do better for themselves and for the rest of the world by knowing how to use social media effectively and mindfully.
Though it's there between the line, I don't recall an explicit reference to attention economics in the book. Multitasking. One Conversation Begat Another: Howard Rhinegold and Henry Jenkins. Over the last two installments, I’ve shared a short exchange between myself, Mimi Ito, and danah boyd, the three authors of the newly released book, Participatory Culture in a Networked Era. Today, I want to share the video of an interview I did with Howard Rhinegold about the book. The video was originally circulated via the Digital Media and Learning blog, but I thought there would be people here who had not seen it. Howard and I have been engaging with each others work for more than two decades. You can read the interview I did with Howard about his own most recent book, Net Smart: How to Thrive Online here, here, and here.
Howard is an incredibly generous person, not to mention a generative thinker, who has been responsible for getting people thinking about such topics as virtual communities, smart mobs, and net smarts, through the years.

Man-Computer Symbiosis. Man-Computer Symbiosis J. C. R. Licklider IRE Transactions on Human Factors in Electronics, volume HFE-1, pages 4-11, March 1960 Summary Man-computer symbiosis is an expected development in cooperative interaction between men and electronic computers. It will involve very close coupling between the human and the electronic members of the partnership. 1.1 Symbiosis The fig tree is pollinated only by the insect Blastophaga grossorun. "Man-computer symbiosis is a subclass of man-machine systems. The hope is that, in not too many years, human brains and computing machines will be coupled together very tightly, and that the resulting partnership will think as no human brain has ever thought and process data in a way not approached by the information-handling machines we know today. 1.2 Between "Mechanically Extended Man" and "Artificial Intelligence" As a concept, man-computer symbiosis is different in an important way from what North [21] has called "mechanically extended man.

Wer für diesen spannenden Anlass keine Einladung erhalten hat, über den nächsten Anlass aber gerne informiert werden möchte, kann sich via nachstehender Mail-Adresse auf die IKM-Verteilerliste setzen lassen. Kontakt Institut für Kommunikation und Marketing IKM Zentralstrasse 9, Postfach 2940, CH-6002 Luzern With kind support of: Howard Rheingold: Knowing How to Collaborate Is Essential | Mediashift. I just read the Kindle edition of “Net Smart,” written by writer and critic Howard Rheingold.
The book provides a thoughtful analysis of some major theories and discourses about the “always on” era, while at the same time giving new insights and practical advice about the literacies we need to thrive in this environment. I’ve followed Rheingold’s posts and videos for some time now, attended presentations, and participated in some of his courses.
He’s not only an expert in virtual communities (a term he coined himself) and social media, but also teaches digital journalism. I had the opportunity to interview him recently about the implications of his thinking on media, journalism and journalism education. MediaShift: Howard, how Internet-savvy are digital natives — do they need experts such as you to find their way? I had believed the mythology of digital natives and also assumed that most of today’s college students are like my daughter and all her friends. Peeragogy Related. Howard rheingold's | the virtual community. Ethan Zuckerman - Rewire: Rethinking Globalization in an Age of Connection. Jon, Krebs's research is really helpful stuff. There's been lots of research on left/right polarization around media and US politics - I review quite a bit of it in the book.
It's interesting to think about the books that he sees appealing to both left and right - some are simply very compelling and well-written, while one seems to be being bought by the right to better understand strategy from the left. I wonder whether there's an experiment to be done asking people who hold a position - political, religious, or otherwise - to recommend books or readings that they see as best explaining their beliefs to outsiders. For instance, if I strongly believe in the need to reform criminal justice in America, do I choose Michelle Alexander's masterful "The New Jim Crow", a thoughtful scholarly work that's aimed at arming people like me who already see racial injustice in the system, or a personal prison memoir, like Damien Echol's "Life after Death"?

Tools for Thought: The History and Future of Mind-expanding Technology (1985) Full text South of San Francisco and north of Silicon Valley, near the place where the pines on the horizon give way to the live oaks and radiotelescopes, an unlikely subculture has been creating a new medium for human thought. When mass-production models of present prototypes reach our homes, offices, and schools, our lives are going to change dramatically. The first of these mind-amplifying machines will be descendants of the devices now known as personal computers, but they will resemble today’s information processing technology no more than a television resembles a fifteenth-century printing press.
They aren’t available yet, but they will be here soon. The Virtual Community: Homesteading on the Electronic Frontier (1993) Full Text When I started writing about online sociality, I didn’t realize that universities would have programs for cyberculture studies decades later.

Information about resources used in the creation of Smart Mobs. Smart mobs emerge when communication and computing technologies amplify human talents for cooperation. Street demonstrators in the 1999 anti-WTO protests used dynamically updated websites, cell-phones, and "swarming" tactics in the "battle of Seattle. " The pieces of the puzzle are all around us now, but haven't joined together yet. The people who make up smart mobs cooperate in ways never before possible because they carry devices that possess both communication and computing capabilities.

Crap Detection 101 | City Brights: Howard Rheingold. “Every man should have a built-in automatic crap detector operating inside him.” Ernest Hemingway, 1954 The answer to almost any question is available within seconds, courtesy of the invention that has altered how we discover knowledge – the search engine. Materializing answers from the air turns out to be the easy part – the part a machine can do. The real difficulty kicks in when you click down into your search results. Unless a great many people learn the basics of online crap detection and begin applying their critical faculties en masse and very soon, I fear for the future of the Internet as a useful source of credible news, medical advice, financial information, educational resources, scholarly and scientific research. The first thing we all need to know about information online is how to detect crap, a technical term I use for information tainted by ignorance, inept communication, or deliberate deception.
Today, just as it was back then, “Who is the author?” Resources: Mindful Infotention: Dashboards, Radars, Filters | City Brights: Howard Rheingold. Infotention is a word I came up with to describe the psycho-social-techno skill/tools we all need to find our way online today, a mind-machine combination of brain-powered attention skills with computer-powered information filters. The inside and outside of infotention work best together: Honing the mental ability to deploy the form of attention appropriate for each moment is an essential internal skill for people who want to find, direct, and manage streams of relevant information by using online media knowledgeably.Knowing how to put together intelligence dashboards, news radars, and information filters from online tools like persistent search and RSS is the external technical component of information literacy.
Knowing what to pay attention to is a cognitive skill that steers and focuses the technical knowledge of how to find information worth your attention.
