20 Years of Information Innovation

I've spent some time of late wandering around parts of Birmingham where the Industrial Revolution kicked off so astonishingly quickly. The Boulton and Watt steam engine, cotton spinning machines, easier methods of iron founding, the refinement of concrete, discoveries such as oxygen. These and many, many more happened in just a few decades, often with one discovery becoming an enabler for another. Industrial technology quickly spread and much of society lurched from an agrarian state to an industrial one.

Therefore, "Digital Revolution" seems most appropriate, as that's what it is. Society - globally - has very quickly leapt up to another level of what it can do because of a rapidly emerging set of new, or greatly improved, inter-related technologies. Just like the late 18th century, but with digital data instead of steam and iron.

or is that too loose a phrase? I like it though, hope u do too

:)

I'd go with something simple and catchy. My favourite is:

.Life (or .LifeStyle)

But that may have been used somewhere already. I have a couple of others that aren't quite as immediate or cool.

OnLife (because it's like 'online', but as a lifestyle!)
W3 (That 3 should be superscript though, so that it's like www!)

Any others I had in mind seem to have gone walkabout, so that'll have to do you!

When the Web weaved our world.......

(as in "When the dinosaurs roamed the Earth").


Wh@t's Up, Dot?


Alternatively, we write the word "Our Web" in different forms --- Morse code, sign language and bar codes.


@´óÏó´«Ã½Digrev team --- please can we see some female faces and rushes on the homepage? Thanks.

Wh@t's Up, Dot?


In a way it also connects back to the fact that this is an ongoing documentary series and all its UPloads of docs (documents) to the Web. It's a stimulus for us to continuously check again for new materials streaming in.

Also, the original is, "What's up, Doc?" said by....Bugs Bunny, a smart-alec rabbit and we've been diving down the rabbit holes on this open production!


@Dan Biddle --- as well as Bowie references, all titles should refer to either the Marx brothers / Monty Python / Looney Tunes characters.


For techie Web aficionados they'd go with any phrase play on the works of HG Wells, Arthur C. Clarke or Aldous Huxley.

For prime-time and as diverse an audience as possible.......I'd go with Bugs Bunny. More people around the world have seen and LOL'ed at a Bugs Bunny cartoon than read 'The World Brain' by HG Wells, written in 1938 when he was 72, in which he envisioned:

"We could build a real ‘World Encyclopedia’ with a true ‘planetary memory for all mankind’…

...knitting all the intellectual workers of the world through a common interest."

When I wrote sign language before I meant semaphore. Hopefully, there's going to be a sign language and audio version (for the visibly impaired) of this documentary series!

Next month I'm attending a talk where a Director of Inclusion from the European Commission is going to outline their procedures to increase digital inclusion to less able-bodied segments of online surfers.

We've covered the digital divide issues in some detail in our blog discussions, so it will be interesting to gain insights on the EC's perspective too.

@A_PERSON_NOT_A_BOT re: obligatory Python references in Title, how 'bout "The Age of Naughty Bits" ;->

But seriously,

"Ubitquitous"

^^ or "Ubitquity" Ok, I've more than had my two cents. No more suggestions from me for a while.

Whatever the ´óÏó´«Ã½ chooses, and there are some inventive suggestions above, it's NOT a 'revolution'. The single thing that held back the so-called sexual revolution was calling it a revolution. People expect cannon fire and rapid change (we didn't get that in the 60s and we certainly shouldn't expect it now). Real change creeps up and entwine's your life without you really noticing. My Dad would say the 'digital revolution' has passed him by yet 'digital' is part of the fabric of his life and is certainly the way his TV is delivered. Can you imagine life without broadband? It would be like Charlotte Bronte imagining a world without 3 postal deliveries a day (swoon). Call it anything you like. What you're thinking right now is already old.

The world in a box

Shows the world as we see it is shrinking will fix in a box
we access the world through TV, PC, radio etc (a box)

Some thoughts on whether its been a revolution or not?
annecaborn #83 above argues "it's NOT a 'revolution'.", daveofthenewcity suggets 'Digital Revolution?', whilst Joe_Librarian #20 thinks it has been a revolution. I tend to agree with Joe_Librarian.

We've moved in my lifetime from a mechanical age to a digital one. If your old enough to remember manual typewriters, duplicators where you wrapped a sheet of wax carbon paper round the drum, then turned a handle so the ink was squeezed out through a pad on the drum onto the paper (messy and hit-and-miss), sending a telegram if a message was urgent and the person wasn't on the phone, fax machines and photocopiers were the state of the art; if you had an opinion about something you wrote a letter to a newspaper/MP/Points of View etc and posted it[!], then the introduction of the PC (of whatever flavour), laser printers and then the Internet, websites and email has been a true revolution in how we get things done, increase our productivity, communicate and so on. It doesn't need a question mark, it happened.

Was it 'cannon fire and rapid change'? H@ll yes! The digital age killed off Fleet Street (and caused riots); if you've worked in shops and offices in the past 20 years you'll probably have spent a lot of time, money and effort retraining in order to remain employable; those that only now are trying to catch up are severely disadvantaged, some may never manage it, others find attempting it traumatic. It's put people out of work (remember typing pools anyone?), been a revolution in how we can keep in touch, how we spend our time at work and leisure, in how ideas (good and bad) are spread, given people the opportunity to express their opinions and share their knowledge with far greater numbers of people and so on.

I'd say the introduction of the Digital Age is comparable to the move from horse and human power to coal and steam, then from coal and steam to oil and combustion engines; or that from many small rural cottage-industries to industrialisation, production lines and fewer factories employing many people.

A friend of mine once described it as the 'rise of the glowing rectangular box', because we now seem to spend so much of our time staring at rectangular screens that light up.

WOOHOO!!! Following my little campaign to attract more female participation here, today one of the largest social networks for female technologists has put ´óÏó´«Ã½ Digital Revolution as an agenda item in their main newsletter.

We can expect more female namestorming and mash-up creativity very very soon!


@annecaborn --- When it takes a leading business brand like the FT over forty years from the founding of American feminism in the 1960s to actually compile a list of Top 50 women in business AND then the FT misses out key female technology sector professionals like:

* Marissa Mayer of Google
* Carol Bartz of Yahoo!
* Sheryl Sandberg of Facebook
* Mary Ma of Legend Technology

.......We have some indication of how effective the American/Western "sexual revolution" has been.

The velocity (speed, rate and direction) of revolution in the Web has been undeniably higher.

To me, the Web IS a digital revolution. It's disrupted operational, governance and economic systems. It's also democratized resources (information, relationships, content, etc.) and their accessibility. It's constantly revolving on itself, re-examining where code can be made better and then re-iterating the algorithms accordingly.

Something along the lines of Digital Evolution - because it gives a nod to the fact that it's a continuous process, and takes away the all encompassing feel of 'revolution' - 2/3 of the world don't have access to the internet, due to poverty (of wealth or education) or infrastructure. There's a lot of people's lives it hasn't changed, and a lot of people it's left behind.

Just a note about using '@' in the title. @ is not used in web addresses - It is used in email address which existed before the WWW was invented.

The dot is definitely a web thing though.

In my opinion WWW is a revolution - a communication revolution.


More name suggestions:-

Dot Dot Slash Slash

I actually think 'Digital Revolution' would do; (but 'digital' also embraces digital photography etc.)

I also see the rise of mobile telephony as being part of the revolution of the past 20/30 years, so perhaps the emphasis is on a communications revolution, interconnectedness and the like?

The name may depend on how wide the scope of your program is going to be? Is it just about the Internet and Web?

The name also needs to 'speak' to those who haven't yet become connected, not just those who are already webheads.

trapped in the web

caught in the net

captured by the web

relate to our ever incresing dependancy onthe internet, both good and bad points are we trapped in it or does it capture our imagination ?

Title suggestion : The new silk road

The original Silk Road (or Silk Routes) was an extensive interconnected network of trade routes across the Asian continent connecting East, South, and Western Asia with the Mediterranean world, as well as North and Northeast Africa and Europe.

The internet id the new wil road connecting the wolrd and allowing trad and exchange of ideas more quickly.

also refers to spider silk and the webs they makre from them i.e. the web

Another suggestion for your list of possible interviewees. Viktor Mayer-Schonberger, author of 'Delete: The Virtue of Forgetting in the Digital Age'.

"In his new book ... Viktor Mayer-Schönberger argues that forgetting is a natural human process, and that digital technology and cheap storage are creating all sorts of problems, from an assault on privacy, to an inability to make decisions."


Apologies if someone else has already suggested him.
