Spending time with uber-cool people today. A new media enthusiast, a PhD student on climate change, & an MDP senior interning in Rwanda. New Media in Development class by Anne Nelson today is digesting the youtube "Web 2.0 is us/ing us" by Mike Wesch, an anthropologist.
Web 2.0 is not only sharing info, but also linking people. People sharing, collaborating, trading. My classmates are mostly journalist, and I introduced myself as an ex journalist who got his karma and end up as a government agent. Chinese students (who are also journalists) brought up the issues on "made in china" media. Chinese google, chinese facebook.
One of the fun facts on the New Media class: in Kenya and Uganda (CMIIW), people use cell phone for mobile banking rather than calling. So, do you think all African country are underdeveloped?
