Information R/evolution: video explains how awesome it is that everything is miscellaneous


Information R/evolution is the latest short film from Michael Wesch, whose earlier moving video "The Machine is Us/ing Us" explained why Web 2.0 mattered in s few deft and vivid strokes. Information R/evolution is Wesch's take on information management and categorization in the age of the Internet -- his view of the Everything is Miscellaneous question, and it draws heavily from both Weinberger and Shirky's work. This is a gloriously optimistic video about our collective power to make sense of the world in a way never dreamt of in the days of paper organization. Link (via Netzoo)
