Jon's Radio:
"It's a wonderfully silly topic, but my point is somewhat serious too.
The 8.5-minute screencast turns the change history of this Wiki page
into a movie, scrolls forward and backward along the timeline of the
document, and follows the development of several motifs. Creating this
animated narration of a document's evolution was technically
challenging, but I think it suggests interesting possibilities."
The evolution of a document over time is an amazing view. How people fed information into the system and how over time, a document evolved. Whats even more interesting though is the work people like Jon Udell are doing. How technology is being used and developed by people who actually want to use the technology at thier disposal. Podcasts to make better use of their computer and audio devices. Creating screencasts of software to show various aspects of software products. Write now this is limited to only technically inclined people. But I have a feeling over time this will not be true. There will be videos of how to navigate complex sites and so forth. There have always been videos of software/hardware on televison, but now the power of creating these videos and distributing them is in the hands of individual users. It still has to shape up a little, but we will get their, just like the information on the wiki page evolved over time.
