Teaching Machines
It is an important book, because without such a deep insight into the history of teacherless instruction, today’s new teaching machines are probably doomed to repeat some crucial errors over again. And it gets the reader inspired to ask themselves.

Annotation. 2021
My latest read is Annotation, a great book by Remi Kalir and Antero Garcia. MIT Press 2021. And here are some of the things I learned: 1. More on Social Annotation: “We can think of an information infrastructure as part … Continue reading
Reading in the Digital Age
The new book by @gerhardlauer challenges “the gloomy song” “of the end of the book and the end of reading” (p. 222). Particularly, I liked the recurring emphasis on “the cultural technique of mastering the switching” (p. 51) between the … Continue reading

Visual Thinking
There is an interesting discussion going on about Dave Gray’s “Marks and Meaning” (an “unbook”). My argument was: Some visual thinking techniques that are very much optimized for the “selling your ideas” stage, IMO, impede the thinking stage. Particularly: Prematurely grouping things into a hierarchical, tree structure if they need a complex web structure. Dave’s great reply pointed to “where the art comes in” and to “the social evolution of diagrams”.
