Coups de coeur dans les nuages

• Meeting points like Twitter or Facebook catch more attention than TV programms 
• Social media connect people locally ensuring new meetings in vivo and amazing community feeling 
• Personal issue are solved by real person directly connected through Twitter or Facebook or Linkedin or Quora (asynchronous reply is better than no reply at all)
• If you go for shopping, you trust more recommandations from your buddies' internet community than the shops or brands reviews. 
• You can follow the conversation or let it but you know where to find conversations. 
• The spiral of silence is brocken. Everybody can add his word, his pictures, his videos "silently" or "loudly" hoping to find his soul mate in a little comment or re-tweet coming from nowhere. For a human being a little comment is a BIG reward. 

35 years working with personal computer and what has be done to rethink the way we live with this appendice of our brain?

How have you arranged your table to keep your hands, your shoulders, your back, your neck, your eyes (I will not add your legs but think about them too) in a relax, confortable position during all day long?

This is my husband's new solution. He is really happy with his "flat desktop", so I share it with you. Please tell me YOUR home made solution!

The music scans the human chromosome 9 at a rate of about a million bases in one second. Melody is derived from the contour of local GC content profile, high pitches for AT-rich and low pitches for GC-rich regions, and each gene is represented by one of two percussion sounds depending on the direction of the transcription.

What if the scientists represent themselves world as a piece of music instead of searching a pre-determined "mecanism"?

Kutiman says : "ThruYou was born out of the belief that giving is a social activity - an activity that creates and strengthens communities". He mashes pieces of  music and voices recorded on YouTube by you and me, and the result is a true, genuine composition, a master piece of creativity.

Larry Lessig, the author of "Remix," the bible of the free-culture generation, wrote: "Watch this, and you'll understand everything and more than what I try to explain in my book."

Clouds can also be very useful to share good news, to give hope.
This picture could be a metaphora of the situation of USA today in the world.
A big plane in a river, which is not its place, and people going out peacefully.

Reporting me the big happening which took place yesterday in London through Amplified 08 , my son was questioning about education, how and what do the coming generation must learn to serve the society of the 21th century.
Maybe one answer could be find in Michael Wesh statement "Passion for Teaching" :

Another answer comes from research funded by the MacArthur Foundation about teens' use of digital media. One of the results of the 800 youth and young adults interviewes is:

Connie Yowell, Ph.D., Director of Education at the MacArthur Foundation. "It concludes that learning today is becoming increasingly peer-based and networked, and this is important to consider as we begin to re-imagine education in the 21st century."

So it looks like we have all in hands to re-imagine education, maybe we just have to do the twist and speak about: learning (and not education),  companionship, conversation (in the Socratic meaning)...What do you think?
