"Clay Shirky". Now that's a <b>great</b> name!<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 10 September 2010 08:39, Christophersen, Paula P <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:christophersen.paula.p@edumail.vic.gov.au">christophersen.paula.p@edumail.vic.gov.au</a>></span> wrote:<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">To add to that there was an excellent article in the Australian in June<br>
(Weekend Australian, June 12-13, Inquirer, page 7, titled 'Digital<br>
doesn't mean dumb') that compared the viewpoints of Nicholas Carr and<br>
Clay Shirky (Cognitive Surplus: creativity and generosity in a connected<br>
age). In contrast to Carr, Shirky believes that the Internet brings with<br>
it increased freedom to create information. While much of it is<br>
'throwaway material', this experimentation will result in 'good new<br>
stuff'.<br>
