The Garden and the Stream- A Technopastoral (essay)

[[media-literature-data]]

Extra quotes

extract a reusable piece out of it in a way that it can be connected to many different things eventually

Instead of building an argument about the issue this attempts to build a model of the issue that can generate new understandings

the predominant form of the social web… is an impoverished model for learning and research… our survival as a species depends on us getting past the sweet, salty fat of “the web as conversation” and on to something more timeless, integrative, iterative, something less personal and less self-assertive, something more solitary yet more connected.

to link, annotate, change, summarize, copy, and share — these are the verbs of gardening

the link here is not part of the author’s intent, but of the reader’s analysis

connections here aren’t banter, but the construction of a mental model of a subject area. And that model can be taken by someone else and extended, built on. Humanity can advance, not through argument by through a true collaboration
