Sticks and the nature of technology

By Jon Dron 21 November 2011 @ 3:47pm Comments (1)

In this short video (less than 4 minutes) I talk a bit about how a stick can become a technology through the orchestration of phenomena to some purpose. It's important to note that it is a different technology with each different use and orchestration, and that those technologies are soft - the orchestration is being accomplished in my head and is not an inherent feature of the stick itself.

You might find it interesting to think of ways that it can be used as a learning technology.

Help with files

The Landing files tool can be used to share files with others, comment on them and build dialogue around them.

Some files are treated specially: on the whole, pictures will be displayed as pictures (jpg, gif and png formats), audio will be played as audio (mp3 and a few other formats) and video will be shown as video (various formats). It is thus a way to build picture galleries, podcasts and vodcasts.

You can upload multiple files and even upload zip files, that will be extracted on this site into their individual components.
