Using networks to map our complex world

2012-09-22

I've shared videos from the RSA Animate series in this past, because they are an excellent way to engage with new ideas. This relatively recent RSA Animate video is based on a late 2011 presentation by Manuel Lima, Senior UX Design Lead at Microsoft Bing and founder of VisualComplexity.com. The theme of his presentation is to:

explore a critical paradigm shift in various areas of knowledge, as we stop relying on hierarchical tree structures and turn instead to networks in order to properly map the inherent complexities of our modern world.

More audio, video and slides from his original presentation are available. Hat tip Samuel.

If you enjoyed this video, you might like the 2007 video, which "explores the changes in the way we find, store, create, critique, and share information":
