Comment on Video Games in the classroom by Ed

Finally! There’s proof that my childhood wasn’t wasted!

I’d say that there are LOTS of ways that we’re learning to “game” our everyday life. Twitter (micro-blogging “cool” things about our every day life, or whatever else we want to share), Foursquare (checking in and arriving at a location has become a mini game), Nike+GPS app (tracks your progress, encourages you, keeps a record of how many miles and rewards your for reaching milestones), Oink, etc. Games are here to stay. My generation grew up with games, and it makes sense that many of these video game mechanics (leveling up, progress, rewards, digital achievement) are such a significant part of the culture now.

After looking into a number of the articles on your web page, I honestly like your technique of writing a blog. I bookmarked it to my bookmark webpage list and will be checking back in the near future. Take a look at my website too and tell me your opinion.

Comment on Information Overload vs. Filter Failure by A J marr

If fault is to be found with Shirky, as well as almost all other internet pundits on information overload, it is in their premises, not their conclusions. Almost all hold the implicit assumption that humans are sensitive to information as static facts. However, if informed by the most recent findings from affective neuroscience on human decision making, this position cannot be true.

Specifically, Shirky (and nearly all of his peers) hold to positions that are not neurally realistic, and would have to abandon much of their opinions (and specifically the reality of information overload) if they were informed by the recent findings in affective neuroscience on how human minds actually process and choose information. Surprisingly, this argument can be made quite simply, and is made (link below) using an allegory of the Boston Red Sox pennant run over the years.

(Alas, my argument at three pages is a bit long for a comments section, but perhaps not as a link.)
