Google Condemns the Archival Web
Google Condemns the Archival Web
Doc Searls, dsearls, 2018/02/20
Doc Searls writes, "The archival Web—the one you see through the protocol HTTP—will soon be condemned, cordoned off behind Google's police tape, labeled "insecure" on every current Chrome browser... Every legacy website, nearly all of which were created with no malice, commit no fraud and distribute no malware, will become haunted houses: still there, but too scary for most people to visit."

Ian Sample, The Guardian, 2018/02/20
This is an interesting idea. "Cambridge researchers have built an online game, simply titled Bad News, in which players compete to become 'a disinformation and fake news tycoon'.

Personalized Learning Meets AI With Watson Classroom
Personalized Learning Meets AI With Watson Classroom
Erin Gohl, Getting Smart, 2018/02/22
"Generally speaking," says Erin Gohl, in personalized learning, "reducing people to a set of numbers overlooks so many factors that are integral to understanding a student, but explainable only as narrative comments."

The Facebook Armageddon
The Facebook Armageddon
Mathew Ingram, Columbia Journalism Review, 2018/02/19
