Our access to information and meaning-creation has changed substantially over the last decade. Instead of receiving information "packaged" by an editor or newscast, we now build our own information structure on a daily basis by pulling in elements from distributed sources. Obviously, this has implications for how we design and deliver learning (though I don't think too many organizations are aware of, or interested in, what this means...the conversation level on implications is nonexistent. Actually, I don't think most organizations have a clear understanding yet of what it is that has actually changed). Your Attention Please: "It's not just that media is splintering, as it has been for decades. The difference now is that the Internet is thrusting that trend into overdrive. With every quick click, millions of people...are slicing and dicing media into ever-tinier little bits, just the nuggets they want and nothing more."
