"What we are trying to give everyone is a copy of the best personalized newspaper in the world." With that statement, Zuckerberg gets at the heart of what facebook is and does.

Excellent, basic summary that I came across: The human brain is constructed up of many specialized areas that work together: • The cortex is the outermost layer of brain cells. Thinking and voluntary movements begin in the cortex. • The brain stem is between the spinal cord and the rest of the brain. Basic functions like breathing and sleep are controlled here. • The basal ganglia are a cluster of structures in the centre of the brain. The basal ganglia coordinate messages between multiple other brain areas. • The cerebellum is at the base and the back of the brain. The cerebellum is responsible for coordination and balance. The brain is also divided into several lobes: • The frontal lobes are responsible for problem solving and judgement and motor function. • The parietal lobes manage sensation, handwriting, and body position. • The temporal lobes are involved with memory and hearing. • The occipital lobes contain the brain's visual processing system. The brain is surrounded by a layer of tissue called the meninges. The skull (cranium) helps protect the brain from injury. via Jedediah Walls, Media Psychologist http://www.facebook.com/pages/p/375155975925633

Working with an academic partner, the Government of Ecuador has launched a major strategic research project to “fundamentally re-imagine Ecuador” based on the principles of open networks, peer production and commoning. I am thrilled to learn that my dear friend Michel Bauwens, founder of the P2P Foundation and my colleague in the Commons Strategies Group, will be leading the research team for the next ten months.

This semester I did an awesome experiment where I turned my class into a game: I had my students take part in a mystery adventure where each assignment told a small part of a story about a missing painting, and their grades helped determine how many clues they received in tracking down the art. The results have been AWESOME, and I have been surprised at their ability to deduce things analytically and even symbolically. I've had to work hard to make the mystery difficult enough for them! This tells me something about the nature of games and investigation - they are correlated. Investiagation is often integral to games, and our powers to deduce seem to be increased when we are in a game environment. I think next semester I'm going to take this a step further: I'm going to have my students work on an actual mystery: a real missing piece of art and a real theft, and let's see if they can determine anything useful or insightful that can help real investigators on the case. Can students solve an unsolved mystery? via Jedediah Walls, Media Psychologist http://www.facebook.com/pages/p/375155975925633

"Entertainment–education typically provides characters who can serve as positive, negative, or transitional models. Positive models engage in the desired behavior (e.g., family planning, literacy training, use of a designated driver while drinking) and gain benefits as a result; negative characters fail to take the recommended actions and experience bad outcomes. Transitional characters may be resistant to the recommendations at first, but then are converted and triumph through choosing the right path. When individuals identify with these characters, they are motivated to make changes in their own attitudes and behaviors" (Singhal et al., 2003). via Jedediah Walls, Media Psychologist http://www.facebook.com/pages/p/375155975925633

"But, like most popular and complex games, WOW also allows for ‘‘end game,’’ meaning players can continue to play even when they have reached the final goal. Eventually, when enough players have reached the highest goal, a new goal will be set to continue excitement and involvement. Similarly, the end goal of Facebook is to become a hero. This may seem strange, but it can be argued that the heroes of our time are celebrities, and social media users are aspiring toward celebrity status. Much like a first person shooter video game, users become first person paparazzi and are on a mission to make celebrities/heroes of themselves." -Angela M.

Marshall McLuhan stated that every medium pushed to an extreme flips its intended purpose. This is why the web, which relies on external data and initially driven by static HTML data (a form of explicit knowledge) is now so much more concerned with tacit understanding of the world.
