U. Oregon Talk

Sesssion 2

• https://oregon2018.iamcr.org/opening - 3 intro talks
• Jeremy is on board of Directors of Eugene Makerspace - http://eugenemakerspace.com/
• International audience of communicators who will communicate to 70 countries
• Post-modernist critique of modern narrative
• Jonas Salk - gave away the polio vaccine, Tesla - attempted to save the world via wireless electricity, Marcin - all of materials resources. Richard Jefferson - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Anthony_Jefferson . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAMBIA . Created https://www.lens.org/lens/ .
• People are not even aware of the public domain - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_domain#Value
• Internet archive - is another flipout - what, you can see my website from 10 years ago?
• Digital natives do not exist - because you have access, you will be a fact finder. No, people are immersed in entertainment universtiy.
• Get up to speed to the Conceptual Framework - that there are cultural gaps to where people have a captive mind.
• Jonas Salk - et al.
• My last talk was open source hardware - now we want to build a new civilization?
• This is where communication comes in - What's lost in my work is the context for why this is necessary now for the larger framework of this audience. Nobody gets paid for OS, you just steal. It's true if you think of it at corporate level, but not if you develop a civ toolkit.
• Biggest complement - establish a starting point of conversation that nobody to date has been as successful.
• Material communication - wires and cables that we think are ethereal, people think it's all ephemeral.
• 2T for software but 20T is hardware - primary sector of the economy.
• Frontload it all.
• Understanding even that there is any historical norm for open - is important to communicat. Ex NASA does all for the public domain.
• As scientists, we take for granted the open norms of the public domain. There is a much - grander narrative that these NASA et al guys are promoting.

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_access
• Infrastructures of the internet -
• Examplars of Open Source - overarching is the public good.
• Another example - Samuel Morse - gave the patent to US Congress - not for public good - but bc he thought telegraph would lead to negative consequences. Then Western Union bought the patent and ran with it.

• Distinction between system administrator and users - ex. you can take programming as a second language. "Empowered system administrator".
• How is education moving in this direction? Lifelong learning. Survivability - basic forms of fitness. Need to have survivability - and then second - a form of fitness for evolving. We will need a second order notion of cultural competency - based on openness, connectedness -
