Web Anthro

Description

People's interactions with each other online and how the web affects what kind of content they create is the subject of this short film by an anthropology professor. It's got a nice soundtrack and the animation and transitions are really well-done. It takes the viewer visually through HTML content creation and the transition to XML and newsfeed creation through creation of videos and social bookmarking sites for organization to mashups of any kind of data. <bq>Digital text is different ... more flexible. Digital text is hyper...text. Digital text can do better. Form and content can be separated. When we post and then tag pictures ... we are teaching the machine ... each time we create a link, we teach it an idea.</bq> <media src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6gmP4nk0EOE" align="center" source="YouTube" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gmP4nk0EOE" caption="Web 2.0 ...
