What is Real Time – Analog Time vs Digital Time
https://ift.tt/2S2MtJ9 An excerpt of an interview with Mark E Goodman and Sharon Aby recorded on February 9, 2010. In this segment, Sharon talks about the difference between Analog Time and Real Time. She suggests that for business today, the only time that they have is now. Businesses are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You can watch the entire interview at https://ift.tt/2RCtNRC

Although this short video is intended to illustrate the way ‘classic’ businesses operate in contrast to online shopping, I believe that the concept of analog (sequential) time in contrast to digital/real-time (in which there is only now) can also be applied to education. The idea of following sessions from start to finish as the teacher presents information and work sequentially may soon become a paradigm of the past when confronted with the possibilities of multitasking offered by modern technology.

“Sometimes it takes someone who has worked in the industry to provide new insights into the way technology can shape education. On the other hand, these are always success stories that find their way to the internet. Presumably, there are others that never quite left off the ground or failed mid-way. This is not meant as a negative comment but with education, especially education with the younger generation, there are so many factors that come into play. The novelty or WOW element and the way technology is presented make a lot of a difference.”

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
