Week 3

        I learned a new way of thinking from reading the first two chapters of the book Everything is 

Miscellaneous. I learned that organizing things in the digital world doesn't work the same as the 

physical world. In the digital world one iten can be in more than one place at the same time. I also 

watched a TED talk that gave the idea that time itself works in a different way in the digital world. 

Time doesn't apply in the digital world the same way as it does in physical world. In the digital world 

you can be all around the world in a given time and you can relive your experiences by uploading 

information and being able to see it again. 

        I also read a TED talk about online videos and crowd acceleration innovation. I thought it was

interesting how he brought the idea that our brains are wired for video, not necessarily for reading. I 

never thought of that before. I don't know if I totally agree with that but I do think that it does have 

some validity. Many people are more visual learners but I think it's also important to learn from 

reading books and I think that reading helps you exercise your bring by having to imagine or make 

sense in you head what is being read. I think that videos are very effective at getting an idea across 

and if I want to be a successful marketer for my business I should learn how to make good videos.  

        I think it's really interesting how our society is evolving from a top down society to a more 

horizontal share of information. I do think that we as a society are still vulnerable to being fed in a 

top down manner but I think that great things and ideas will be shared because we now have access to 

more peoples information and ideas and they can be shared very quickly.
