Information Jazz
I’ve been thinking around the idea of ‘on the fly’ or ‘live’ information design - can methods be designed to deal with the abundance of information that is poorly Information Designed?
I’m thinking of a relationship similar to that between musical performance and composition. “Information Jazz” perhaps? ;-)
My random thoughts were just focused with the ‘Inside Higher Ed’ article “Are College Students Techno Idiots?” (via Miles!)
“Susan Metros, a professor of design technology at Ohio State University, says that reading, writing and arithmetic are simply not enough for today’s students. What is important for learners is information: how to find it, how to focus it, and how to filter out nonsense.”
The only think I know of thats similar to this is ol’ Fravia :-)
