A Tech Prophet Predicts | Edutopia
"This article is part three in the series "The New Literacy: Scenes from the Digital Divide 2.0."
"Instead of delivering a set of facts to students, we are engaging them in learning how to get those facts themselves."
The notion of an epochal new-media digital divide shows up in the work of digital theorists such as Howard Rheingold, whose 2002 book, Smart Mobs, posits future generations with the tools of digital literacy and social networking increasingly wired into the brain. The result, Rheingold suggests, will be digitally enabled "smart mobs" that are able to form and dissolve with ease, offering a new way to deal with today's intractable political, social, and economic problems and bringing into being a new educational paradigm.

CALL FOR VOTE: SCI.VIRTUAL WORLDS « Medicine and its related products and regulations
"Approximately one month ago a Call for Discussion was initiated
to consider forming a new newsgroup, "sci.virtual-worlds." This
newsgroup was proposed to be a nexus for scientists and researchers
in many fields who, singly or together, were working to develop
virtual-worlds systems. These systems use computer technology and
advanced display systems to create various three-dimensional, user-
encompassing environments in which pictures, sounds, and physical
sensations replace keyboards and CRT’s as the medium through which
humans and computers exchange information.
Sci.virtual-worlds was proposed to be hosted by the Human
Interface Technology Laboratory at the University of Washington and
co-moderated by science writer Howard Rheingold and Steve Aukstakal-
nis of the Laboratory. T"

Howard Rheingold at BBC Online Community Day
The quality of community in tomorrow's wired world is an important concern. It is not, however, the first question we need to ask. The prefix "cyber," from the Greek word for "steersman," implies that cybersociety will be steered in some manner. The first question to ask is: Who will be doing the steering?
Decades before computers existed, George Orwell and Aldous Huxley wrote about future dystopias where society is commanded by an elite who use advanced communication tools to control the population. The malevolent dictator Big Brother and the paternalistic dictator Mustapha Mond used technologies of surveillance and persuasion to steer the societies of 1984 and Brave New World. E.M Forster, also writing years before digital technology emerged, wrote a novella, The Machine Stops, that painted a future society steered by the machines themselves.
Today's world is a combination of all three visions, with a surprisingly democratic twist.
The Orwellian portion is the invasion and commodification of privacy, aided and abetted by digital information gathering and surveillance tools.
The Huxley portion is the disinfotainment machinery that sells experiences, beliefs, issues, and candidates to a world that willingly pays for the illusion of information in the guise of entertainment.
The Forster part is the globalized economy, where liquid electronic capital has become detached from humanly recognizable goods and services
YouTube - Howard Rheingold Shifts in Technology and Power
Rheingold recounts how the development of communication technology has removed the power top transmit messages from a tiny elite, and had been a force for democratization. Following Benkler's idea of peer production he explains how the diffusion of many-to-many communication technologies enables new forms of collective action.

The following is an exclusive Onlinesocialjustice.com interview with Howard Rheingold which took place in August of 2009...
The first Twitter class
Gill taught a spring course at the UW that largely focused on Twitter, and followed up this summer with another more detailed offering in the graduate school. That class was titled "Beyond The Fail Whale: How Twitter Is Changing Organizations."
"You could say qualifiers that ours was graduate and theirs (is) undergraduate, but there are no qualifiers needed for ours," Gill said. "Ours was just the first one, period."
Gill admits that there's a "little ego involved" in terms of getting recognition for the UW's Department of Communications.
She said that the true pioneer in this realm is Howard Rheingold, who used Twitter extensively in a Stanford Unviersity journalism course last year.

Attack unravels the social Web - CharlotteObserver.com
“It's when your lights go out that you realize how dependent you are on the electrical grid. Now that we've experienced the lights going out at Twitter and Facebook, many people are beginning to face our dependency on online social network services,” said Howard Rheingold, who helped invent social media in the mid-'80s and teaches social networking for both Stanford University and the University of California at Berkeley.
