Three Interesting Links
Rick Weibel at Marshall University sent TeachingMIS.com an email this week with some excellent and interesting links:
Excerpt from his email:
"I have discovered a couple of sources you may want to share to our colleagues.
"The first is a great video showing how the internet works - click the movie link at http://warriorsofthe.net
"The second is MIT world. http://mitworld.mit.edu/ - MIT World(tm) is a free and open site that provides on-demand video of significant public events at MIT. I am reading Thomas Friedman, "The World Is Flat", A MUST READ and he spoke at MIT about the book - a 45 minute overview and about 30 minute Q&A session. Great quality video.
"Third, I look high and low for Apple's "Knowledge Navigator" - a 7 minute video made in 1987 of Apple's view of computing in 2010. It is a fun look at an accurate prediction of the future. It is available several places now. An easy location to find is http://www.digibarn.com/collections/movies/knowledge-navigator.html. But there are better copies if you look. Apple does not seem to be distributing it any longer."
Thanks Rick!
