THE FUTURE OF KNOWLEDGE
The future [of knowledge] is to let ‘the machines’
do the heavy lifting and for us humans to focus on
connecting the dots, discovering context, meaning
and relevance, and to make human sense of it all.

Connecting the Dots: How Digital Methods Become the Glue that Binds Cultural Heritage to Contemporary Society
The document discusses how digital methods can connect cultural heritage institutions to contemporary society. It notes that 70% of the global population will live in cities by 2050 and that smart cities face challenges in dealing with proliferating information. The document advocates that cultural institutions should focus on using technology to better understand engagement through metrics like repeat visits and diversity. It provides examples from the Dallas Museum of Art of using free admission and membership along with mobile technologies to better measure outcomes.

- 13. Negotiating the circumstancesof everyday life in any true city tends over time to create a broad-minded, feisty, opinionated personality type we'd have no problem recognizing, wherever and whenever it appears in human history. City people may well be tolerant of diversity not out of any personal commitment to a utopian politics, but because that's just what the daily necessity of living cheek-by-jowl with people who are different imposes upon you. And yet it's just this set of characteristics that so many smart-city provisions seem hell-bent on undermining, or even eradicating. The ability to search the space of the city for the perfectly congenial set of circumstances, to tune the environment until we never have to leave the contours of our own comfort: where the making of city-dwellers and citizens is concerned, that's a bug, not a feature. It erodes the development of savoir faire; it eliminates the risk, but also everything wonderful, that arises in the confrontation with difference.

They are twenty-five times as likely as the average scientist to sing, dance, or act; seventeen times as likely to be a visual artist; twelve times more likely to write poetry and literature; eight times more likely to do woodworking or some other craft; four times as likely to be a musician; and twice as likely to be a photographer.

- #12 GDP PER PERSON HAS BEEN IN DECLINE SINCE 1970 – IT’S TAKING US A LONG TIME TO FIGURE OUT HOW TECHNOLOGY CAN SERVE US – NOT JUST GO FASTER.

- #24 Maxwell formulated the equations that govern electricity, magnetism, and optics. Invented the concept of tint, shade, and hue. Chevreul was a chemist who studied soaps and acids, but who studied color perception and dies for artistic representation of nature Rood’s studies of color first asserted that small dots of color would blend to form different colors when viewed from a distance.
