exploring the intersection of new media and everything else

Dr. Jihoon Jeong – Doctor, Medical Engineer, and Futurist

Today’s talk will be focused on changes of the web due to technological development and the emergence of the social web.

Our world is like Jampong (a combination korean chinese noodle soup dish).

The future of the web. The next web. What is it? Instead of the PC being the node… people will be the node. Our conversations, pictures, and the stuff generated by us will be the future of the web.

Action Potential – In the brain… neurons need a sort of critical mass to do something.

For the web this is also true. The old web is the data web. The focus was on the structure and connections, not the energy that was created.

Today it is evolving. Take for example Twitter… most tweets and comments get lost. But certain tweets / videos / conversations pick up enough steam that they achieve critical mass. They have action potential.

Twitter party example in Korea – create an event in Korea where Korean twitters can meet each other. It was a success. Got me curious about creating a social action event… so I looked for an example and I found Twistival

I have been using Twitter to test ideas. I throw an idea out there and if people like it… it gets picked up and it snowballs. Large amounts of energy can be gathered and focused in a short time thanks to these new technologies like Twitter.

The brain works similar to this. Brain connections that are not used are pruned away.
