Information R/evolution

I came across this very interesting short film by Michael Wesch titled Information R/evolution. Information R/evolution reflects Wesch’s views on information management isssues – everything from its creation and categorization, to presentation and retrieval. It shows that as information becomes increasingly digital, our assumptions about its traditional characteristics are no longer valid. The web has fundamentally changed the way we create, manage and use information and so, there is a need for us to “rethink information beyond material constraints.” The video draws on Weinberger and is optimistic about Web 2.0 as it allows knowledge and information to not only be free, but also be miscellaneous.
