my notes on 'too big to know'

Listening to David Weinberger's presentation

Traditionally knowledge has been stored in papers & books. This is 's unnatural, it is impossible to scale it. Ask an expert ->STOP!
According to this view, you know something when you have settled concepts, ideas, when you are able to categorize a notion and locate it within a framework of other related notions.

Now we have got a new medium: Internet, which is connective.
Properties of Internet (and consequently of knowledge):
- too much (overload and filters)
- messy (universe unique order <-> messiness is how we scale meaning!)
- unsettled
- unstructured.
