Orlando Sentinel - Is cursive writing doomed in the computer age? by

  • The decline of cursive is happening as students are doing more and
    more work on computers, including writing. In 2011, the writing test of
    the National Assessment of Educational Progress will require 8th and
    11th graders to compose on computers, with 4th graders following in
    2019.

No thanks for the memory: Why the net won't let you forget - Features, Gadgets & Tech - The Independent

  • In the spring of 2007, Google conceded that until then it had stored every
    single search query ever entered by each of its users, and every single
    search result a user subsequently clicked on to access it. By keeping the
    massive amount of search terms – about 30 billion search queries reach
    Google every month – neatly organised, Google is able to link them to
    demographics. For example, Google can show search query trends, even years
    later. It can tell us how often "Iraq" was searched for in
    Indianapolis in the fall of 2006, or which terms the Atlanta middle class
    sought most in the 2007 Christmas season. More importantly, though, by
    cleverly combining log-in data, cookies, and IP addresses, Google is able to
    connect search queries to a particular individual across time – with
    impressive precision.
  • Google has since announced that it will no longer keep individualised records
    forever, but will anonymise them after a period of nine months, erasing some
    of its comprehensive memory.

Applied Health Research - A Briefing Paper on Knowledge Transfer, Dissemination and Utilization

    • Data –
      "sets of discrete objective facts, presented without judgement
      or context. Data becomes information when they are categorised, analysed, summarised and placed in context, becoming intelligible to
      the recipient";
    • Information –
      "information is data endowed with relevance and purpose.
      Information develops into knowledge when it is used to make
      comparisons, assess consequences, establish connections and engage
      in dialogue";
    • Knowledge –
      "knowledge can be seen as information that comes with insights,
      framed experience, intuition, judgement and values … Knowledge is
      the body of understanding and skills that is mentally constructed by
      people. Knowledge is increased through interaction with information
      (typically from other people)"
  • Cognition refers to mental processes that facilitate: our ability
    to think, learn and remember; how we know and understand the world,
    process information, make judgments and decisions; and, how we
    describe our knowledge and understanding to others.
