Yes, all will go to the scorer
text for Sylvester Next.

morning I no time. I'm going to buy Berlin (in the capital they call the "pancake", no one knows why), I cook dinner, make it a nice transition into the year 2011, and together we act as if there was a strong chance that this could land and this world in the next year get something on which to enjoy it would be worthwhile.

is of course initiated at midnight to each other a good and happy to wish a Happy New Year, although all know that with truth, beauty, good again, nothing will be, as then in Goethe's time, as well have been, what use is it to the prince.

And as always, be we believe it could not get any worse and at some point realize that it may yet. And millions more children in Germany with her parents live in poverty, hunger for a better life, but do not starve, because the global disgrace if the rulers in one of the richest countries in the world (yet) been able to afford. For now let the children die from hunger and disease in Africa and Asia in their factories toil so silly as pseudo-Verona flutes can continue: "... is better than how to think."

And they continue to lie in 2011, the unemployment figures down, the Hartz IV recipients torment humiliate and degrade. And in 2011 they see more poverty normal, just like the billions they invest to let German soldiers in other countries to kill people in order to ensure the interests of international oil companies and of course our fuel supply. And that it is normal that capitalism shooting in all directions when it comes to its energy or its export, which knows even the stupidest blurted since former Federal President Köhler has been bullied for it and out of office.

And the many state elections in 2011 will not change anything. For the SPD and Greens have Hartz IV devised and implemented together with the CDU / CSU and FDP, and waged a war of aggression against Yugoslavia and soldiers sent to Afghanistan and and and ...

... the left talks with NATO (except Gysi the U.S. ambassador, the distances of them even still), but does nothing, and where it rules, it's Hartz IV recipients sometimes worse than in countries CDU (Compare : Hamburg - Berlin), left or left to be disciplined gepöbelt from the party.

Mini Football Helmets From Vending Machines

forecasts and the history of the media clouds

a forecast for the communication of the future, it is helpful to look back in time to throw and start the attempt to discover patterns in the evolution to the present.

on digital Convergence carrier ...
have shared stages with the first of our "Communications 2020" activities in the past year, Kai Heddings and I made a trip to a presentation slide from the year 1995. On this film we had established as part of a university seminar, a then very controversial thesis. We claimed that there would be a convergence in the near future support, which combines all digitalizeable media and communication forms as sources and digital interface. That's fifteen years ago and we were able to experience the occurrence of this thesis, because this digital convergence carrier is now a reality. He is a notebook, smartphone, tablet PC or Desktop PC used millions of times.

... to other theories of a future communication ...
From this realization, we have established in our expert survey in 2009, a few new theories in the near and distant future of communications. These theories were judged by some well-known media experts in various stages as possible or impossible. The results of this survey have surprised some, and very clearly demonstrated the wide differences of expert judgments based on different, personal experience. For Kai and me has brought the study found some valuable lessons that flow now in counseling, workshops and all customer projects.

... to illustrate media clouds from 1960 to 2010 ...
After K2020 expert survey I was looking for then use the shipyard project team and some external staff in the recent past, the media and communications history after discernible patterns in the communication and the use of media.

goal of this project was to illustrate the changes or developments in the field of modern human communication - without having to write a journal article or a book. We wanted to create an illustration again, the almost "at a glance" makes some of the challenges of our field operation significantly.

The result is an illustration that we have "History of the Media Clouds" or the English version of "Clouds Media History" mentioned. We show that a simplified picture of media use history from 1960 to 2010. This is an example and as a couple of snapshots (male) students represented German origin, each representing their media use in the years 1960, 1970, 1980, 1990, 2000 and 2010. In some cases, these students could be seen as a vanguard of their time, since they represent the respective sample year the so-called early adopters.

media clouds: Comparison 1960 and 2010 (higher resolution on request)
To the students about the media used and means of communication and forms of communication of their time in the form of clouds shown. The various forms of media and communication, we have divided into simple clusters that formed the cloud concept. A change in the media usage of the past fifty years it has become by the changes within the cloud an impressive way. Even if this figure from country to country in details may be slightly different, this development exemplifies every industrialized country in the west World - particularly as concerns the period from 1990 to 2010.

At this point I must point out, however, some blurring of the illustration or the terms. We recognize that we have not shown all media and forms of communication in detail and their significance for the respective sample year is not visible. Some of the displayed expressions could appear in other clouds, but are only placed at the point where it seemed particularly important. Also, we have deliberately omitted the (presumably other types of) representation of female students. The consideration of all these additional parameters would have made a confusing illustration of a compact graph. Our presentation is no general "World Declaration" offer in the areas of communication and media. Rather, it is intended as a clarification and illustration of a growing and changing challenges in relation to the use of media to us modern humans.

Illustration: History of the Media Clouds 1960 - 2010 (V1.1DE as JPG )

... regarding future estimates ...

A by-product of the history of media, a further clouds forecast for the communication 2020 is energized, which (of course) is the discussion and yet to prove their Vorhersagungsgehalt. Where this surely the essential point is that our communication will change in the next ten years, new communication spaces are created and we probably will draw (at least on a scientific level) to changing metaphors to describe the coming communication platforms.

media cloud in 2020
The representation of the 2020s but I can save time on a later blog entry, because I was in the pre-tests to illustrate have found that there designated future scenario distracts greatly from the other contents of the illustration. Therefore, "Luke" still in the mist of all the future communication wrapped.

especially the discussion on the media K2020 clouds and the resulting forecast future results in a couple of offers that have been found in the processing of the issue as a useful supplement for professional communicators.

... to workshops for the development of media literacy
We believe that, in particular an internal drafting the conclusions of the "Media Cloud" Illustration for large businesses, professional communicators may result (agencies, press officer, etc.), institutions and public institutions (like schools) to useful results, we offer short workshops on this topic. Because in our view, targeted communication and media use has never been as complicated and engaging as it is today. It may make sense for anyone to develop a sense of the pitfalls of modern communication.

rights
this illustration, we have marked with a Creative Commons copyright to it for interested students, students and teachers to make a useful basis for discussion. For commercial use alone keep Christoph Steinhardt and throw the project Copyright. The findings of the study results, we will work to incorporate into current and future projects. Commercial use of the illustration or parts of it thus always requires the written consent of the shipyard project. This is especially true for business presentations, workshops and lectures on the topic. Thus we wish to establish include a feedback loop for future improvements.

thanks and greetings
for critical and helpful comments during the discussions and research assistance I thank all the staff of project-yard particular Dr. Anne Klien , Sabine Steinhardt, Kai Heddings , Bernd Burhoff and Gerrit Peters . Gerrit is a special thanks for the illustration of the students. Thank you!

White Stuff Near Clitoris

IPad - expectations and fulfillments

First I must apologize. This entry is now overdue. But there is a reason why I'm not jumping on the iPad rapid test train. If you want to test a new device, you need some time and even more time to report some really relevant statements about the daily commute. So I have me some time left.

Not only I have been since the presentation of the device, formulated many expectations of this new personal computer. I must admit that I've been waiting for the launch of the new Apple device, as before so far no technical toys or tools.

What did I expect?
first A good portable Tool with which I make all digital designs, and can make digital imaging shortly after the photo-recording. 2. A reader to read the mirror and other magazines in the form of a digital magazine. 3. An upgrade of my music software that I use on the iPod Touch for almost two years. 4. An "always on" Internet browser.

And what have I got?
The applications for this device, which many do not know what one is the need for contact are so diverse that it actually defines a new class in the computer segment. For me it was in recent weeks:
- always at hand and enabled Internet Tablet
- musical instrument and Groovebox
- creative tool for mockups, scribbles, mood boards
- Mobile photo processing lab
- Journal reader for news and lifestyle magazines
- reader photo books, atlases, reference books, and PDF magazines
- Games box for complete entertainment games and board games
- TV replacement device for watching movies and music videos
- presentation interface

But what I have given above all, is a device that I can work a lot more intuitive and creative, as with any PC or Mac, which I have previously used.

A few examples of the uses the pad:

The Internet Tablet - Always-On
One of the main characteristics of the iPad is the possibility to use it almost anywhere, in seconds ready have. Which begs to be even higher, time to throw a quick look in Wikipedia. Or do I search the IMDB information on the background and the actors of a current film. With the larger screen make many applications more fun and provide a better view than in the recent smart-phone-mini size.

The same applies to all other web services: they are only a handle far away and are also like (relatively) inconspicuously on the kitchen or living room table. Also take more time with iPad on a trip than you would have done with his notebook. Always-On.

The first real competition to the traditional photo album
In contrast to the stationary PC or notebook, the iPad is a device that actually provides a substitute to the traditional photo album. And the decisive factor here is the missing keyboard. The true "take control" of the digital album and the ability to pass around the pictures again made the part very quickly to my new photo album.

The same goes for photo books. The viewing of images is so much fun that I've downloaded a couple of extra magazines and artist-PDF photo book apps on the iPad and now digital imagery by "flipping".

For me now is to see, that here, a further way of pictures distribution.

Modern Sound Generator
What was on your iPhone or iPod Touch yet funny and sometimes cute, will grow up with the iPad. Many music apps that worked on the small screen of a smartphone nor as nice gadgets can use the advanced touch screen really reveal their creative possibilities. The virtual piano keyboards are now big enough for adult hands, and the scope for good new groove interface (as in Groove Maker or Looptastic) or novel sound workstations (like Aurora or iSequence) do the experimenting with sounds, melodies and grooves extremely easy and intuitive.

of music for me to try and play with a lot to do. Because it makes the purchase for testing new interfaces painful celebration also much that cost only a fraction of the apps from the "big" brothers and sisters for PC or Mac.

The paperless office is
So many PDFs or other digital documents as in the past few weeks, I've never read on a screen. I must admit that I used to be more inclined to print digital yet. The question of whether because of iPad printing, can I has not be asked. Counter-question: Why? Printing works for me now in even more cases, powerful sense.

The iPad magazines as Reader
Yes, I too have used the iPad as a reader. For weekly magazines, catalogs, recipe books, lifestyle, business and art magazines. And I will do so in the future ...

The iPad is considered by some media experts, especially as a savior for the ailing publishing industry - which could actually be so. Perhaps it is also the invention, which heralds the demise of established, large publishing houses. The concept of this Reader with all its possible manifestations App infected namely an extremely high potential for democratization of magazine production. The expensive traditional distribution channel and the costly printing production are eliminated and there is finally a device that you also like to take time with the sofa or the kitchen table - or is in the backpack or purse.

This opens up a huge opportunity for groups of authors who want to offer high quality content on their own. Previously, this was already possible in the form of PDF magazines on the Internet, but there was still the micro-payment feature to work even monetize easily. This would be in the App Store available. And if the copy is not excessive prices could be here establish brave new magazines.

Conclusion
What Apple has created with the help of thousands of app developers is a new multi-media that has enormous potential to banish many notebooks or desktop PC from local living rooms and bedrooms. And quite possibly one or the other users discovered with the help of this PC is actually infected how much creative energy in him. The are cheap and useful little apps to it once and already an astonishing diversity.

What made this touch pad concept still so everything can grow, is left to the imagination. There are seemingly unlimited possibilities, you think so far on a notebook or a smartphone might not - or could.

The development of this new multi-media is exciting.

me the story of the blood countess had been interested for years this book is a real "must-have book for me. In some cases I was disappointed, I have more from the perspective of Erzsébet Báthory desired. Since that book is really about her, but took place only a minor role. Nevertheless, the book reads quite well, the writing style was easy to understand what we have in historical novels, not always.

I personally found the book but rather unspectacular. I could not arrive at the true character and it creeped me not really. Too bad, I had expected more.

He is caught in a tornado, into other dimensions and fleeing from a giant spider.
Walter Moers has once again written a fabulous work. At 700 pages it pulls me back in because of Zamonien spell, which I've been addicted since the City of Dreaming Books. One gets from one adventure to the next and it will never get bored. The fanciful nature are well described and often is also an illustration of it. One reads the book and is so fascinated by the spelling of the pictures just the whole presentation of the book.
have put in many, I laughed a hearty, unusual humor of Walter Moers is not easy to beat. Especially, it has done to me Mac rescue dinosaurs.
would I like to read more of life Capt'n Bluebear "but a bear must indeed have its dark side, which makes an attractive and mysterious."

Trick Star Craigslist

mind game - The disappearance of the insignia of an information society

The mirror is on the coffee table, the time is bought with the breakfast sandwiches on Saturday, the WIRED is decoratively placed on the desk, the image we read in the morning in the subway ... read books are stowed on a shelf "cosiness".

Who has not? Anyone who has grown fond of these habits? Who are these information and entertainment media as a kind of status symbol? The

now everything could be different. Maybe in a few years, nothing more of these habits, and the exhibition of their educational horizons exist. This is then sealed in aluminum, glass and plastic - in modern readers. The emergence of these new media sources seems to have just begun and they harbor a previously unmentioned innovation - they conceal the medium that is being used.

As yet, it is distinguishable from newspapers, magazines, books, comics and online readers possible. The people who hold some of their classical education now, of course, still use traditional printing products and wear them with pride to the cafe table while at the next table a "computer nerd" its netbook ahead of it. Some people are even the house up so that each visitor is a sufficient view of the well-stocked bookshelf or magazine basket possible. So we have been able to perceive quickly type a person belongs to which readers and reading what he preferred - or presented preferred.

Will this continue? No!

The recent insignia of the knowledge society are invisible. They do not disappear, but they do not need more storage, they slumber hidden on memory chips and servers.

With the introduction of the iPad in Germany has been one the other day here, a change set in motion, that love our current perception in relation to those obtained Insignia dissolves. Maybe soon, no one can imagine something to be magazine subscriptions or the many books in the closet.

an iPad users you will see that is not immediately able to determine whether he was just the latest or a previous edition of the Spiegel magazine reads, if he leafs through the WIRED, a comic book or a classic from the "Project Gutenberg" enjoys. Maybe but he leafs through it is precisely the image output and angry once again through Apple's anti-sex campaign ...

is now perhaps even more clearly that the development of knowledge has nothing to do with the medium. It does not matter whether something is mediated by a printed product or a screen is. The content matters.

But now a question is getting to know again provide entirely new meaning: "What are you reading?"

Club Penguin-how To Get Rainbow Puffle Hat

stages of evolution of communication technology ?

Yesterday I have benefited from a workshop of TrendONE. The Agency for Mirco trends presented, in particular, possible trends for the development until 2021. While the predicted future (in eleven Years) seemed a little unrealistic, but could actually have some people as "cyborg-like", "always connected" and "privacy-free" are, as pointed out by TrendONE. In

provides a brief synopsis before the micro-trend, this development agency steps on their own YouTube channel. These visions are well worth considering and discussing:


(Source: YouTube Channel TrendOneGermany)

My comment:
The development in the five media development levels by 2021 would dramatically - when I here the duration to consider the establishment of the Web 1.0 Status:
  • "Lean Back" (1.0)
  • "Move Forward" (2.0)
  • "Jump in" (3.0)
  • "Always on" (4.0)
  • "Plugin" (5.0)
At the end of this Future Vision in 2021 as a permanently connected and provided with implants man who moves as part of an enriched virtual information and features real world.

such a scenario is certainly not desirable for all people.

I have for the new K2020-Workshop offers recently, "Luke" was invented, a German student who will move in 2020 within a new media mix. He is not provided with implants, is but also live in one, compared to today, other types of media and communications reality. Lukas is a great time in the evolution of the media is much faster than his father, "Max" or grandfather, "Hans". Luke is now only ten years old and still learning playing what one of Max and Hans can not say more ...

are with this vision that we should deal with. This is especially true when such a life enriched with information also critical of or combined private and professional future with such a development strictly.

young people "without protection on the Internet The correct Dealing with
Facebook, students and VZ Co.



"Connected Learning" in schools



Two short reports showing why media literacy should be taught early. (Source: YouTube Channel Eisbaer55)

is for me, while the question of why the use of media is seen not long ago as a kind of cultural technique of reading, writing and arithmetic, and not in the curriculum of schools is firmly enshrined. Perhaps this could be one of the most important educational content for the use of media and information in the future.

The responsible use of its own and third party data and the interpretation of information in global networks (especially the "social networks") learned not so simple by itself, the consequences of thoughtless actions and publications in the network can also be far reaching, as many children, so many teenagers or even adults think.

In the case of digital media, I might add the problem of ignorance of many adults, who can not take as role models because they have learned never himself a "meaningful" use of media. Too many generations have been in dealing with information from newspapers, books, Radio and Television their problems. The information in the known "mass media", however, were up to the establishment of the World Wide Web mainly researched by "professional" actors (editors, journalists) and filtered ...

How To So now deal with text, image and audio information that can generate almost all that everyone needs to check themselves and are rarely "filtered" by communication professionals, because the parties to a non- significant part in the Amateur are? And how to go about this also with a nahzu infinite memory of a digital network?

Alum Oxide Primer Paint

new territory in the Süddeutsche Zeitung - Journalism 2.0

The current magazine of the Süddeutsche Zeitung "Good or bad?" deals with light and dark sides of the Internet. Nothing really new, you might say - is the discussion has been around for some years. For the print edition this also applies to a large extent. There the interested reader is not really a lot of new ideas - but perhaps a few personal new approaches.

Much more interesting however is the path that the SZ treading with this magazine on the Web . The article (online) magazine by readers can be altered or amended or users. Here is journalism apparently as a call for collaboration on issues understood. Journalism is again intended to be a clear impetus for further thought - a very good approach that can bring the magazine thought the new millennium ...

The Editierzeit however to 6 May 2010 limited. Until then, may be almost as edited in Wikipedia, and contributed to the knowledge and opinions.

Note: The link to edit the magazine, SZ only works meaningfully in the network while the magazine "Good or bad?" (Issued May 2010) to date.

Kill iPad the printers?

When considering the current debate in the communications market on the sense and nonsense of an iPad or a small, mobile touch PC, I notice that a lot of digital content and the possibilities for the future of publishing or authors is spoken, but little about the future of print - especially large printing.

If the trend in the newspaper and magazine industry continued in the direction of lower requirements and in addition iPad is a trend towards digital content on a medium is added as a reading, this is already a serious blow to the employees in the affected printers. But it can certainly contribute a further trend to decline: the current environmental debate, which concerns the protection of resources and prevent environmental pollution. These issues are discussed in my opinion, quite rightly in order to temporarily quality print products.

Even though I now can not prove with numbers, the CO2 footprint of a digital magazine that is loaded onto a iPad, far almost certainly below that of a magazine from the kiosk located. When I think about me, what would be dropped so everything from environmental factors that influence:
  1. raw material procurement for paper
  2. production of the paper (possibly by recycling)
  3. transport to print
  4. procurement of raw materials for inks
  5. production of printing inks
  6. Transport for printing
  7. production of printed magazines in fixed edition
  8. transport to customers (Kiosk)
  9. return of the unsold books
  10. recycling of unsold books
this high energy and raw material consumption (and here are missing probably a few more detailed phases) are the digital equivalent of the device, server and download energy expenditures over - which, in use of renewable power generation , should leave a smaller CO2 footprint.

digital content / media from a customer perspective would thus not only convenient in the procurement, but also environmentally friendlier than their analog counterparts ... if there is not an even faster rethinking among consumers, as feared by the media industry.

In a future, say Let's 2020, could the printer and print out a similar struggle, as has been done decades ago, the miners and coal mines. A struggle against a changing world.

Over the centuries, many have changed jobs or have lost their meaning. Perhaps this is now blooming and the guild of printers that way by the growing use of digital media a new focus. For the suppliers are the same.

Surely it would make sense now to think about such a change and not with closed eyes in the meaning and unemployment to run. Meanwhile, the bad examples an ignorant management of change, as they were seen in the music and media industry and are leading to new approaches to processes of change.

This is again just a thought experiment in the "Communications 2020" discussion which I have, throw in the project, but perhaps one with economic and social importance ...

"Communications 2020" as a panel discussion

It's nice to witness once again if different people come to similar ideas or adapt ideas and themes from others.

in communications and media industries such events happen more frequently, however, as in other business fields. For here is the monitoring of industry issues and finally tracking down the same business.

In Germany, the time seems ripe for a / the theme "Communications 2020". The themes that are common in various players in the communications and media industries.

The organizers of the event series " Newswire - Media Coffee " this year have apparently discovered the trend for future projections and the theme "Communication 2020 - start of a new information age?" for a series of panel discussions discovered for themselves. The podium line-up of the first event, held on 14.04.2010 in Hamburg, indicates that at the events, the focus on marketing support was "of future communication down, most notably publishers and agencies.

What for me at that time was the main reason "K2020" use. Thus the issue is multi-dimensional use.

again In order to get to the filming of our future forms of communication, we should keep not only the media artist and full-time professional communicators in sight, but the "normal" user with its "normal" view.

Despite the panel discussions for our professional media users and advisers, is for me no way around it, to observe the everyday use of media content and support - which I also am always happy in subways, cafes, and through conversations with "normal" users.

Thanks to the organizers of the "Media Coffee" series makes the subject so that their further advance and push forward with discussions on the changes in everyday communication. It is certainly a subject that we will be dealing with all facets of a little longer ...
