“Digital native” is the term that describes the current generation raised in a digital environment controlled by Internet, MP3 players, cell phones, smartphones, social networking websites, etc. Most of us think they are young, fast-thinkers, multitasks, clever and more open to diversity[1]. Nevertheless, there are also people claiming that Internet is making us stupid[2]. The debate is open.

Here's possibly one of my favorite rags-to-riches story (well, fame definitely if not riches for the moment): Once there was an almost unknown Brooklyn artist having a painter's block, struggling for inspiration at his in-house studio with two children running around (one crawling to be more precise), then all of a sudden he got his "A-ha!" moment as he painted his wife's new Facebook portrait.

In the TEC-CH Online course of Museums and the Social Web, we are required to analyse a number of Web 2.0 sites and create a report describing the interactions, usability and potential museum applications of these websites. Shelfari was the topic of my assignment, and while thinking that it may be something useful to share, I'm re-posting my article on the blog. In a nutshell, Shelfari is a

Besides the fact that today is the first day of the year of the Ox (read Happy Chinese New Year), today is also the first day of a new online course at TEC-CH Online, Museums and the Social Web, taught by Jim Spadaccini. As a former full-time student (and apparently a student again), online distance learning is a completely new experience for me. We were given online readings, instruction videos

In response to our loyal blog reader S.'s request, I have researched on display technology in museums and am here to offer my two cents.Display is one of the most vital aspects in the existence of an exhibition, as "show-and-tell" is the core idea of how museum learning occurs in the most traditional sense.

Yesterday the ReadWriteWeb blog posted an article about the latest trends of 3D web environments in 2008. It claimed that while interactive habitats such as Second Life are losing their popularity, 3D web continues to thrive in other forms such as 3D mapping, browsing and shopping (and then I think, will shopping ever fail in any form at all?). These trends are definitely interesting to look at

Today I stood in front of Manor at the Piazza Dante for a good 20 minutes while waiting to meet my partner for lunch. Simply out of curiosity, I started comparing the number of women vs. the number of men who carry purses, handbags, backpacks or some form of container for their personal belongings.

Well-presented, well-researched subject, Mauricio’s defense was great to attend from beginning to end. His theme was low-cost technologies and cultural heritage diffusion.
