成人快手

I humbly suggest 鈥�42鈥�

(though you'll probably want a subtitle involving 鈥淟ife, the Internet, and everything鈥�)

How about...

"People 2.0: a planetary upgrade" or
"Society 2.0: Install now? Remind me later?" or
"People 2.0/an upgrade/Install now? Remind me later?" - just to go the whole hog ;-)

I'd still go for 'Evolution 2.0' as it suggests how far reaching this digital revolution is. For the first time in history, people can overcome geographical separation and collaborate in a digital community. This is transforming the way we work, think and behave.

Wonderwebs of our Minds.

This is a reference to 'Windmills of Your Mind" and I was thinking about windmills because I watched Jon Stewart's 'Daily Show' --- his team are satirical geniuses --- and found out about the remarkable story of William Kamkwamba, the boy who harnessed the wind:

We've been jousting here with the likes of Nicholas Carr and Maggie Jackson about the behaviors Google is inducing in our ability to search and make use of information.

Well, in the Jon Stewart interview William Kamkwamba describes finding out about something called the Internet and something called Google: "Where was Google?!" --- to indicate that if he'd had access to Google's "how to build...." resources he might have built his windmill better and quicker.

It's definitely an interview worth watching, although it doesn't seem to be available via video streaming in the UK.

The Newest Universe

Here Comes The World

It's A Small Planet

We are the Web


By the way, instead of The World Mind there's an emerging concept of the web as The Global Brain. This is because with the advent of neural networks and the application of NPL as well as artificial intelligence. Techies are building infrastructure and apps which proxy the synapses and nodes in our brains.

The Global Brain connection means that I coined it as GUNK (Great Universal Neural Kinesis). The reasoning being that in mereology, "gunk" is actually the philosophical term for any whole whose parts all have further proper parts.

In hair care, it鈥檚 a British colloquialism and denigration fired at teenagers when they put too much product on their hair which makes it look greasy, sticky or OTT. The product is referred to as 鈥済unk鈥�. It鈥檚 also a wordplay compound on 鈥渏unk鈥� and 鈥済oo鈥�.

Plus some of us believe humans have too much junk in our heads (from tennis scores to family memories to recipes), our brains are nothing but goo-ey matter, and yet that so-called 鈥渏unk鈥� and 鈥済oo鈥� can be kinetically converted into the 鈥済unk鈥� of the mereological variety.

In other words, silo pieces of data (some invaluable which are key to creating a more Enlightened whole picture as well as the seemingly worthless junk) can be and is naturally connected and cross-pollinated in our brains.

One of the key rationales behind the progression to the Semantic Web is to structure those silo pieces of data so that they have a better relationship reference to other silo pieces of data --- which will eventually lead to "any whole whose parts all have further proper parts".

Ergo, I think my GUNK label is both LOL and approp'.



+1 for How the Web was Spun. Of the list above, this is my favorite for these reasons:

(1.) It's universally understandable and wouldn't be lost in translation if written in any of the Top 5 major languages.

(2.) The concept of us knitting and spinning the web is established and in general lexicon.

(3.) Reference to spaghetti westerns and the notion of us being pioneers.


Oh and whilst it's on my mind re. William Kamkwamba's story and his country's famine situation, Google translated into Chinese literally is "grain brother" or your brotherly provider of grain.

As I've noted before it's all about LANGUAGE and cultural references. Although some of the names suggested to-date are ingenious, they're rooted in English references (Bowie, Douglas Adams, Jules Verne) and How the Web Was Spun is one of the few which is universal and accessible --- culturally and demographically.

PNAB. Re. Gunk. Erm, I鈥檇 check out the Urban Dictionary first before deciding to stick with the term; some other meanings are decidedly indelicate. As you say it鈥檚 a cultural thing.


I also liked 鈥楬ow the Web Was Spun鈥� - if the emphasis is on the history of the Web; but I get the impression the emphasis is more on the effect it has on our lives here and now?
I also liked Where鈥檚 your Head @ - but with reservations about the 30% in the UK that are not digitally included and would be unaware of the significance of the @ symbol.
I also liked most of those others listed by Dan above.

The only suggestions I can come up with are:
Civilisation 2.0
YouNet
iWeb
Rewiring the World (and maybe our minds too?)
Rewired Minds
Digital Society

Personally I think William Gibson much more significant (in regards to the Web, AI, Singularity etc) than Adams; so 鈥� Neuromancer Generation - should you want a SiFi reference?
Adams inspired. A plain, simple - Hitchhiker鈥檚 Guide to the Web 鈥� would suffice.

Based on "carpe diem" I suggest "carpe digital"

@SheffTim --- ha ha, thanks, I see what you mean about the Urban Dictionary. Now that's another frame of reference in itself!

Since there's a move towards planetary systems should we start thinking of wordplay on these:

* Star Wars?
* Star Trek?
* Dr Who?


The Web is with You.

Spin us up, Scotty.

Or-i-gin-ate! (instead of "Exterminate!")

... and the geek shall inherit the Earth. Ahem.

Despite Sir Tim Berners-Lee being somewhat ambivalent over their use now, I feel that something like

://

or the word form

Colon Slash Slash

would be instantly tied to the web in people's minds. It's also terribly slightly nerdy.

The Cyber Bang

On the very current theme of digital inclusion, how about:

Will you miss the 'digital boat'?

Lots of great content following the digital britain report and the digital inclusion taskforce, which I'm sure must be included in this show at some point.

Please don't choose a title with 2.0 in it - unless you only want the series to appeal to geeks! I have to say I quite like Digital Revolution as a title...

"All Your Internets Are Belong To Us"
Take the 'us' how you will - Big Brother, snooping on us all. Or, we the people, purveyors of all we surf.
Gaming reference, of course. And, also how the web is driven by a collective freedom/ownership, with no one person driving it all.

"I Remember When All This Was 1's and 0's"
A slight nod towards when computers were solely for the computer scientists. Yet, now their usage is so ubiquitous (and easy) that many won't realise binary is at the basis of everything digital.

"The Web is People"
Lifted straight from Jay Rosen. Undertones of 'Soylent Green', and it describes nicely what the Internet is for.

"How We All Became Geeks"
Another on the ubiquitousness of the technology that sits behind the web.

My suggestions:

The Quantum Connection
The Quantum Power Connection
Quantum Connect
Quantum Power Connect
Quantum One-connect
Quantum Power One-connect
The Quantum Paradigm
The Quantum Power Paradigm
The Quantum Chronicles
The Quantum Power Chronicles

Call it DigRev. The internet is impatient and is thus always coining new words or squeezing phrases together. DigRev does the job - and it can also be seen as an imperative. ;)

Just a bit boring but as the pattern for naming 成人快手 Series seems to have taken on a format for simplicity, thus translating easily into other languages/cultures by using single/double nouns as in: 'Life' 'Blue Planet' etc, what is wrong with what the subject is all about:

The Web

and expanding the description with the original title which does cover the programme contents very well:

The Web - a Digital Revolution

I am a bit concerned with the title being too 'techno geeky' and this not making sense to quite a big part of the 成人快手 audience both in the UK and abroad who will have limited online web experience, after all is it not them we want to inspire and join in.

Another thought - because this title suggestion has created such an excellent and wide response from the team and the online public and perhaps a 'cloud' could be depicted graphically from all of them (or a selection of chosen names) and the final title word/s emerge ..........

Planet Earthed

:)

@Earth

Simply: What a Wonderful World

Digital Deity - The Web and its Worshippers

Digital Pandora

Together in Digital Dreams

Divolution

Forward Slash

The Mouse That Roared

I simply suggest

digital is us .soc

for many reasons...it is very plain and I would put a heart and foxglove purple flower as a symbol!

oh yes... the .soc in

digital is us .soc


could stand for society

One World Protocol

Because after TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) everything in the world connects peer-to-peer to everything else. And before nothing did.

Digital reality - As out daily reality is so dependant on the internet, it is part of our reality.

data with meaning - information

paint by IP or paint by protocol - for a laugh, based on paint by numbers

the DNS phonebook - without DNS we would not be able to use the net as we do

25% of the world - based upon the general figures on that only 25% of the world has internet access.

The Difference Engineers

JH Muller came up with the idea for a computer (The Difference Engine) 30-odd years before Charles Babbage thought that this concept would work as a mechanical device...the first computer.

So The Difference Engine was the first computer and maybe Babbage was its first engineer, but today, with the massive explosion of User-Generated Content on the web, we have all become Engineers who have made a 'difference' to the development of a curio, to an instrument of great mathematical wonder, to a military device to an open doorway to a new universe. We are also making a difference in people's lives...people are falling in love using this engine, they are living, they are being murdered, they are creating new thought, they are felling injustices, they are committing suicide, they are following and they are innovating...ultimately, we will come to recognise The Difference Engine and its modern Engineers, us, as the Great Explorers; pioneers of a new, universal Universe.

That is why this series should be called The Difference Engineers.

Web Shift
WebShift
Web/Shift

Its not that culture or society has been transformed out of recognition as digital networks have been integrated into everyday life. Its more that they have shape-shifted, moved onto new grounds, altered, become accessible in new dimensions: that's webshift.

Webshift is 'real' - because it is made up of new technologies and the new social and cultural practices that emerge through them. But its is also a matter of perception: the networked world seems more or less 'new' depending where you stand, who you are, how much access you have, what kind of life you lead.

And handily enough- given your astronomical predilections - webshift plays on redshift

The latter is an astronomical term for (a particular kind of) change in wave-length, exploited amongst other things as a means to understand explore space...

so Web/Shift.

It grows on you.

I know it's late, but could not resist posting this definition from Eyal Sivan at the Connective site (

The proliferation of information technology is driving a universal shift in how we organize ourselves, and the world around us. This shift has already clearly been observed within such diverse contexts as economics, sociology, philosophy, politics and science. The Connective is an attempt to describe this shift in an inter-disciplinary manner.

The Connective Hypothesis states that the dominant organizing pattern of global culture is shifting from a top-down hierarchy to a distributed, self-organizing network.

Structures that embody the existing dominant pattern are often referred to as organizational hierarchies. Irrespective of politics, virtually all of our principal institutions are bureaucratic products of the industrial age. They have their parameters defined by committee and demand adherence to a set of absolutes. In this general sense, these prevalent structures can be referred to as collectives.

The Connective refers to structures that embody the new emerging pattern, the network, as connectives. A connective refers to a distributed network made up of voluntary participants, organized around a specific interest or context, with each member seeking to achieve an individual goal. This new structure is neither individualistic nor socialist. It is something that is an intricate mixture of the two; a third way. Rather than trying to capture and freeze absolutes, connectives bend and flex, and acknowledge that the world around them bends and flexes as well.

As our organizational perspective shifts from collectives to connectives, every role we play in our lives is being drastically altered, even how we see ourselves. To that end, the Connective Hypothesis is divided across five broad roles: consumer, producer, citizen, innovator and self. Using these five roles as a structural guide, the goal of the presentation is to explore this coming shift to connectives, and the impact it will have on society and identity.
