Augmenting Human Intellect: A Conceptual Framework - 1962 (AUGMENT,3906,) - Doug Engelbart Institute
By "augmenting human intellect" we mean increasing the capability of a man to approach a complex problem situation, to gain comprehension to suit his particular needs, and to derive solutions to problems. Increased capability in this respect is taken to mean a mixture of the following: more-rapid comprehension, better comprehension, the possibility of gaining a useful degree of comprehension in a situation that previously was too complex, speedier solutions, better solutions, and the possibility of finding solutions to problems that before seemed insoluble. And by "complex situations" we include the professional problems of diplomats, executives, social scientists, life scientists, physical scientists, attorneys, designers--whether the problem situation exists for twenty minutes or twenty years. We do not speak of isolated clever tricks that help in particular situations. We refer to a way of life in an integrated domain where hunches, cut-and-try, intangibles, and the human "feel for a situation" usefully co-exist with powerful concepts, streamlined terminology and notation, sophisticated methods, and high-powered electronic aids.

Michael Buckland's Paul Otlet Page
Michael Buckland's notes on Paul Otlet, with links to other Otlet resources.

"Paul Otlet (portrait) was born in Brussels, Belgium, in 1868. His monumental book Traité de documentation. (Brussels, 1934) was both central and symbolic in the development of information science - then called 'Documentation' - in the first half of this century. In addition, it reminds us of something that has been too widely forgotten: That this field did have a lively existence in the early decades of this century and a sophistication concerning theory and information technology that now commonly surprises people."

Mark Berstein - Flocks, Herds, and Stories: temporal coherence and the long tail
New media offer an unprecedented opportunity to revise our literary economy. One crucial anxiety is that we be able to find (and to publish) good work of local or specific importance, since much human knowledge is not popular. Small, low-traffic sites are thus of considerable interest to the health of the Web, though individually these sites possess small economic leverage. The challenge these sites face is increased by the noisiness of web traffic; herds, flocks, and cadres of narrative-driven fans can all increase traffic one day and eliminate it another. For large sites, this poses no problem, but for smaller sites this granularity, combined with the zero lower bound, can have catastrophic consequences both for individual publications and for the overall shape of the Web.

rev=canonical: url shortening that doesn't hurt the internet
RevCanonical is url shortening with a twist. Instead of creating its own super short versions of links, it checks to see if the link owner has published a shortened version of the given page using HTML link element. If not, we just return the original URL. And you should bug the link owner about providing a better alternative.

Why We'd Be Better Off without the MIT Media Lab
When the supplied links substitute for, or weaken, our own activity -- as they will when we believe the links themselves can do the work of supplying context -- then we lose context instead of gaining it.
