Speech brought to you by Jean Chow (Goldred). An Old Blogger’s View — A Look Back and to the Future — goldred from Taiwan is speaking.
Roundtable in Meeting Area B discusses women the Web. Goldred (now 60) is now talking.
Other distinguished “old” TW bloggers include @ffred, who just visited Beijing months ago. Old is good in the Sinosphere as you’re experienced. Two different meaning of “old”, especially those in the West. Calendar used is western calendar; Taiwan also uses ROC calendar system. Goldred in IT world from 1995 through to 2008.
Graph showing IT use. Computers started in 1948; personal computers in 1980s; multimedia 1990s; Internet 1993 (Web 1.0), semantic web in 2010.
Web 1.0 has online transactions; Web 2.0 has hidden library and SNS, etc… Web 2.0 a 2003- thing. Web 1.0: “Doing / high order of thinking” / Web 2.0: “Learning to be”.
ZSS: Goldred’s speech very personal
Retweet @pdenlinger: Strong presence of Taiwan bloggers at #cnbloggercon. The gap between two sides is political, not cultural
Goldred’s discoveries: I have no idea what I wrote. I have to re-check. My writing became “loose.” Goldred’s experience: life is something like making a good meal, we need time to let it mature to make it taste really good. Images, photos and videos become part of the crucial parts forming the blog. Also: there are no “eternal fans” or “fans forever”.
So why do I blog? Is it good or bad, advantageous or disadvantageous? To me or to someone else
Is it bad if it only benefits me? How do we make others benefit?
ZSS stream goes a lot more silent. They’re all listening with gusto. Sudden applause. Applause is from roundable in Area B.
Goldred: we need to respect the time of the readers; centralize. #cnbloggercon
Two split worlds, pic shown: Real life and virtual life. True it’s being split at the moment, but we’ve images and audio to link the two. “Google makes me stupid?” Is it a good thing if you get the answer way too quickly
Copy and paste: creating, digesting content.
Now showing sesame and pies — a great analogy. What’s more important — sesame or pies? Both, in fact, as just as important; but there’s a time and place for everything. The way we need to learn must change. Supply (push) -> demand (pull). The question is much more important.
Ben Franklin and — is that Lenin or Stalin? — shown as models or role models. Also showing old literature.
David viewpoint: there’s a lot of wisdom in these books. Not to be shunned!
Uses a quote (from Chiang Ching-Kuo as I remember or am I wrong?) 君子無戲言 (good people do not play with their words).
This venue brings back a little memory of The Jing just a few months ago. Back totally aquafied.
ZSS from @isaac: Area A is more reasonable, Area B is more about emotions. Applause in B (roundtable), not in A (main speech).
Differences between articles from Han Yu and Su Dongpo being explored. There’s too much on the “outside”. We’ve forgotten the “inside”. Forget ourselves — and learning isn’t good at that point. Uses a quote from Zhuangzi (莊子). A bit of a challenge to translate in one fell swoop, but here you go: words from the wise… We must find ourselves. Only then will others follow us. David viewpoint: Totally, totally agree.
Mentions Yin and Yang. One side has e-learning; other side is experimental learning (observe, rethink, use in daily work, specific experience).
Over the last century we’ve gotten more power from knowledge. But our wisdom hasn’t really grown. Very reflective views. We must rethink. The longest route out there is from the brain to the spirit. Uses Phil Lane quote.
David viewpoint: Goldred, ladies and gentlemen. Brilliant stuff.
