Future of Text 2015

Here is my 10 minute presentation at the Future of Text symposium in December 2015:

The future of text should support individual agency. These capabilities are important:

1. perceive that something has changed
2. perceive what changed
3. perceive who changed it
4. perceive why the person wanted to make the change
5. address the person who changed it: comments, concerns, questions.
6. undo the changes of others
7. make changes of one’s own.

Two relevant blog posts, to explore these ideas further:

• Case study from Wikipedia: wikistrategies.net/tying-it-all-together
• Learn to read Wikipedia critically: wikistrategies.net/read-between-the-lines/
