Things that need improvement
- semantic web w/ tags - in early stage - manual - maybe moving to automated
- indexing sounds/imagery - much difficult w/ raw data
- localized - geo-indexing, also include time dimension
- meta-topics
- information decay - what do they mean? IP territory - to find ways to keep info useful
User-centric services - self-service, inverting a great deal of previous paradigm
Children - natural scientists - "Take this job and ship it" -
Technology Enrichment Programs
New Sputnik - global warming - framework for improving science in K-12
InterPlanNetary Internet - JPL - flexibility, 28kbps - transmission rate - now 128kbps - making standards - interplanetary backbone
NetNeutrality - Internet freedom - not very much choices -
