The progression that computers made from IBM to your laptop has patterned the expectations for all future technologies. First, big companies create and use a very expensive set of technologies.
Beth Kolko is the sort of academic who follows her muse from one fascinating topic to another.
…My heart’s in Accra » Beth Kolko: “Hackademia – Leveraging the conflict between expertise and innovation to create disruptive technologies”
This talk describes two projects that tackle the same issue: how and why do nonexperts contribute to innovation? The conflict between expertise and innovation sits uneasily in academia, where the enterprise hinges on doling out official credentials. But a lack of expertise can in fact drive people to create the kind of disruptive technologies that really are game-changers.

THE scene in the park surrounding New York’s Hall of Science, on a sunny weekend in mid-September, resembles a futuristic craft fair. Booths displaying handmade clothes sit next to a pavilion full of electronics and another populated by toy robots. In one corner visitors can learn how to pick locks, in another how to use a soldering iron.

Elle incarne cette nouvelle génération de hackers, ces adeptes de la bidouille : le nez dans la machine mais aussi dans les objets, habitué des hackerspaces, des lieux de rencontre physique. Esther Schneeweisz, alias Astera, aime tellement les hackerspaces qu’elle fait partie de la petite bande aux contours flous qui a monté et prend soin de hackerspaces.org [en], un site qui liste les hackerspaces du monde entier, entre autres.
During the past decades, hacking has mostly been associated with software development.

Cette ressource se veut ouverte à toutes celles et ceux qui gravitent autour de la culture Do It Yourself, du Libre et de l'Open Source Hardware, des Fablabs, des Hacker/Maker Spaces, de l'électronique citoyenne, ludo éducative ou artistique, en région Bretagne . L'idée est de faire monter en puissance cette culture et ses valeurs en donnant à voir les ressources, collectifs, et personnes qualifiées ou intéressées en Bretagne. Et pourquoi pas, de déboucher sur l'organisation d'événements, l'ouverture de lieux dédiés, et la participation d'un maximum de personnes.

Make: Online | Which Comic Book Character Is The Greatest Maker Of All Time?
It’s that time again, where I stick out my neck and offer up some opinion in these here parts. Previously we contemplated why the Arduino “won” and why it’s here to stay , then we looked at Sony’s assault on makers , and most recently we asked if public libraries could evolve towards becoming “hackerspaces” and TechShops .Imagine a vast, tech-loving hardware store packed full of robots, gadgets, software, musical instruments and more. Take everything apart, write up some assembly instruction, and box it all back up. Now you've got something like Maker SHED .
