Discuss Inventing the Future by Tim O'Reilly "The future is here. It's just not evenly distributed yet." I recently came across that quote from science-fiction writer William Gibson, and I've been repeating it ever since. So often, signs of the future are all around us, but it isn't until much later that most of the world realizes their significance. Meanwhile, the innovators who are busy inventing that future live in a world of their own. They see and act on premises not yet apparent to others. In the computer industry, these are the folks I affectionately call "the alpha geeks," the hackers who have such mastery of their tools that they "roll their own" when existing products don't give them what they need. The alpha geeks are often a few years ahead of their time. They see the potential in existing technology, and push the envelope to get a little (or a lot) more out of it than its original creators intended. They are comfortable with new tools, and good at combining them to get unexpected results. What we do at O'Reilly is watch these folks, learn from them, and try to spread the word by writing down (or helping them write down) what they've learned and then publishing it in books or online. We also organize conferences and hackathons at which they can meet face to face, and do advocacy to get wider notice for the most important and most overlooked ideas.

22. Post Stamp An exhibit of artists who have reinvented the postage stamp. New stamps designs include the 3D stamp, stamps for the blind and the pocket envelope stamp. http://www.geocities.com/niceprogram/Post_stamp/post_stamp.htm

post stamp Exhibition: Re inventing the post stamp March 2000 in the Newtown Castle Burren College of Art, Ballyvaughan Co Clare Ireland. I n reinventing the post stamp the artists focused on the actual mechanism behind the stamp. To top it all the concept of the new reinvented post stamp must be non functional B ut why would we tend to remake something that originally functions in such a way that its concept is annihilated? In this case we are talking about communication and its most widespread tariff, the stamp. There are several reasons of wanting to make a stamp non-functional both internally and externally. The result of any is that the letter will not arrive to its destination. Does that interest us, or not? No because we don't really want to communicate (we are just talking to ourselves) we can not communicate (we do not know the way people live together) the system stops us from communicating anyway (too expensive, too slow, barriers of any kind Yes because a post stamp is very small but you can not ignore it.

T Ltd. Tony Robinson is undoubtedly a master of re-invention. First he was Blackadder's sidekick Baldrick, then the host of Channel 4 archaeology series Time Team, and now he rubs shoulders with PM Tony Blair as a member of Labour's National Executive Committee. Tony Robinson, 55, loves the multiple facets of his career. "The nice thing is people recognise me for all the different things I do," he says. Recognition comes in various guises for Tony Robinson star of Black adder and Time Team, and Labour NEC member. He says: "Blackadder fans call out Blackadder's catchphrase 'I have a cunning plan', Time Team lovers want me to dig up their gardens, while Tories shout 'You Labour idiot'. "Kids also remember me as the scary Sheriff of Nottingham in my kids' series Maid Marian And Her Merry Men in the '90s."

29. Online Newspapers: Digital Ink 6490. Useful Links for Journalists inventing an Online Newspaper, by MelindaMcAdams Copyright © 1995 by Mindy McAdams. All Rights Reserved. http://www.sentex.net/~mmcadams/invent.html

By Melinda McAdams Abstract After more than a year's work, The Washington Post 's online service, Digital Ink, was ready to launch. This article recounts the debates and decisions that gave it shape. Despite a commitment to the newspaper metaphor, an online service can never perfectly replicate the newspaper. Some things will always be better in the print format, but the electronic medium allows many options that are not possible on paper. Many of the demands on the staff of an online service are very different from those on traditional journalists. A newspaper (and other mass media) carries information in one direction; an online service operates in two directions, and users of an online newspaper expect involvement and responses from the producers. An online newspaper allows articles to remain available for years ; it presents large collections of data that would never appear in the print product; it is read on screens instead of pages. In many ways, it is not a newspaper at all. At the same time, it contains most of the same articles as today's paper and can be updated around the clock.

30. Kid's Inventions On inventing. An invention. can either be a (1) device (apparatus So,what are we waiting for? Start inventing! Examples. inventing a new http://www.noogenesis.com/inventing/kids/kids_page.html

On inventing An invention can either be a: (1) device (apparatus, machine e.g. telephone, pencil, TV., skateboard) or (2) procedure (method, process, such as the steps to coat a thin sheet of plastic, such as tape, or post-em notes ) which has the following two characteristics: (1) New (novel) (2) Useful Inventions are found through study and experimentation, and is to be distinguished from a discovery, which requires exploration, or a chance encounter. Problem formulation When ever something annoys you and becomes a problem, you have the potential of creating a new invention! For example, ask your students what annoys them about a pencil (shoe, glasses, chopsticks). Show them a typical pencil like this: Some answers might include: no eraser, lose them all the time, to hard to hold, etc. Then think of the ways to improve upon the pencil, and you will find many in the store: such as pencils with larger erasers, fat pencils, colorful pencils, etc. Turn on the creative thinking! When "brainstorming" for new ideas and new solutions, it is extremely important not criticize . When one student starts talking about his or her invention, the other students are sure to chime in, saying, oh that won't work, or that's a stupid idea. This must be squelched immediately. Be nonjudgemental, and withhold all judgement at this step of the process. Otherwise, other students will not volunteer anything for fear of being criticized. Absolutely no idea is bad!!!! You can even suggest the worst or most ridiculous ideas, and say its OK.

He invented a methodology for inventing. In fact, he set up an "Invention Factory", where teams of people having different areas of expertise worked together on problems and visions, cranking out invention after invention. This page is dedicated to the Thomas Edison in all of us. Inventors must manage risk "Invention is 2% inspiration and 98% perspiration." Do not to stand in awe of the invention process. Inspiration comes from "doing your homework." Get familiar with the problem, the physics, the machinery. Do some experiments, calculations, tests. Talk with others who may have insights or expertise. Invention is a process of learning and discovery, an act of creation. That's what makes it fun. Vision inspires invention Necessity may be the Mother of invention, but vision is its Father.

34. 19th Century Scientific American Online Credited with inventing the first practical sewing machine. This biography is from Scientific American Online. http://www.history.rochester.edu/Scientific_American/mystery/howe.htm

Elias Howe first heard the term sewing machine while working in Boston for Ari Davis, who made and repaired precision instruments. People had been trying to invent such a device for half a century in America and abroad, without any great success. Some early devices patented in England simply did not work. A functional sewing machine, introduced by French tailor Barthelemy Thimonnier in 1830, roused tailors to radical action. Fearing that they would be put out of business by the laborsaving equipment, they stormed and destroyed Thimonnier's eightymachine plant. The inventor fled and later died a bankrupt. In 1834, Walter Hunt, credited with creating a forerunner of the Winchester re peating rifle and the safety pin, built America's first sewing machine but lost interest in a device he saw as a destroyer of jobs. But Ari Davis thought such a machine would make someone a fortune, and Howe took his employer's opinions to heart. Born in 1819 in Spencer, Massachusetts, Howe had apprenticed to a textile mill at sixteen, then, unemployed after the panic of 1837, moved to the big city to seek work and apprenticed to Davis. By the early 1840s, he had married and had children to support. But Howe, always in frail health, became too ill to work. His wife began to take in sewing to pay the growing family's bills. Watching her at work, Howe realized that no machine would be able to duplicate the motions of hand and arm in sewing. Instead, he hit on a process that used thread from two different sources. A needle with its eye at the point would push through the cloth, creating a loop of thread on the far side; then a shuttle would slip thread through the loop, creating a tight lock stitch.

36. Joshua Rifkin: An Interview (from Inside Early Music) Interview from Inside Early Music discussing the basics of early music performance. Includes background information about the artist. http://homepages.kdsi.net/~sherman/rifkin.html

An excerpt from Inside Early Music: Conversations with Performers (Oxford University Press, 1997) by Bernard D. Sherman Chapter 20 "Re-Inventing Wheels": Joshua Rifkin on Interpretation and Rhetoric To many early-music enthusiasts, the name Joshua Rifkin brings to mind a single association: the renegade who argues that Bach generally used only one singer on each of his choral lines. But that association obscures the sheer variety of Rifkin's career. His work as conductor, harpsichordist, and pianist has taken him from Busnoys and Josquin through Mozart and Haydn to Stravinsky, Weill, and more recent composers. It has also included a healthy dose of Scott Joplin, whose revival in popularity began with Rifkin's recordings in the early 1970s. Rifkin has appeared as guest conductor and keyboard soloist with many leading modern orchestras, such as the English Chamber Orchestra, Amsterdam Concertgebouw Chamber Orchestra, and San Francisco and St. Louis Symphonies. Along the way, he has found time to record his spoof The Baroque Beatles Book and some lovely instrumental arrangements for Judy Collins Rifkin studied composition with Karlheinz Stockhausen, and theory with Milton Babbitt at Princeton. He is also a musicologist, who has specialized in Renaissance and Baroque music, particularly Josquin and Bach. His research on the B Minor Mass has produced several coups, including his deduction, since proved correct, that the Credo chorus was originally written in a different key than the familiar one. His revisionist work on the dates of the

39. 1492 -- Inventing America inventing America. The name America was given to the Western Hemisphereby European writers and mapmakers after Columbus's death. http://www.ibiblio.org/expo/1492.exhibit/d-Inventing.Amer/inventing.amer.html

Inventing America The name America was given to the Western Hemisphere by European writers and mapmakers after Columbus's death. Nothing in their experiences had led the first explorers to realize that they had come into contact with a vast and unrecorded continent, many times the size of Europe. Previously there had been no accounts, or even rumors, of the "unknown" peoples of this "new" continent in European scholarly literature and discussion or in popular chronicles. Mediterranean explorers in search of the spices and riches of the Far East initially believed that they had reached Asia. In part due to this confusion, Europeans conjured up or "invented" images and tales to explain America that would conform to the descriptions of Marco Polo and others. In early allegorical images, "America" was sometimes portrayed as a noble, native woman submissively awaiting European arrival. Ferocious sea animals and exotic creatures filled early maps of the region. Regrettably, we still have incomplete knowledge of the world view and everyday life of the varied peoples of the Americas before European settlement. Spain in America The Gutierrez map depicts what appears to be the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V (Charles I of Spain), as the reborn Caesar in his chariot crossing the Atlantic to lay claim to America. Mediterranean explorers had broken open the "gates of Gilbraltar", considered by the ancient Romans to be the westermost limit of their empire. They revealed a "fourth continent" across the Atlantic and a whole new world of potential for the modern empire builders.
