From the twitterverse, courtesy of @JoMcLeay, comes this offering from Kevin Kelly. In another offering from the TED Talks series, Kevin Kelly notes that the web is only 5000 days old, and ponders what the next 5000 days might bring. His ideas are challenging, but offer great opportunities for the global community

He postulates that the web will change dramatically – with transparency being the price of development. We might even begin to think about this as a large organism that we will begin to interact with – a difficult concept – where there is only the one machine (us) and it is the web.

What might this mean for education and learning? How will this impact on how we learn as individuals and as a community? Where might this take us as educators?  Can teachers simply continue to yearn for the “goold old days”, resisting the demands of the information revolution, lamenting the way their students have “lost their interpersonal skills” – while failing to realize that this generation is more connected, more “personal”, than any generation in history.

Stay tuned for the next 5000 days.
