Kristin Hokanson - Mindset of railways in N America...4 ' 8.5" that seems to be a aribitrary number...question WHY...why do they use that railspacing... That was the railspacing used to make the 1st rail spacing in England...and most of the US Rails build by English Expats....they were the same folks who built the first horse drawn wagons & that was the axel width...WHY...they had to...because the wheel ruts were that widths...so where did the old modern roads in England come from...they were built by imperial Rome for Roman military ...that was axel width of Roman chariots..everyone had to adjust to those wheel ruts...Conforms to axel width of Roman Chariot from thousands of years ago...

9:22	Kristin Hokanson - specifications, beuracracies & systems solidify in their way of doing things

9:23	Kristin Hokanson - What horse's back side came up with that way of doing things...the width of the Roman Chariots were determined because that was how it was always done...even though the world has changed... 2 horses asses determined the way we do things 2 centuries later

9:24	[Comment From Bill Campbell (BillCamp)] The railways example is another good one. It's also in that article for those who want to read the details - http://www.edtechnot.com/notarticle103.html. (Plus it has a great punchline.)

9:31	Kristin Hokanson - TTWWADI is unconscious and internalized and what makes it so hard to change....TODAY talk about change....talk about how new digital landscapce is changing

Kristin Hokanson - Surviving the Technologigal alteration of the Modern Mind...I Brain what we need to understand as edcuators and parents is that kids today are different...they physically mature 2 years earlier...not just because of the clothes they wear and music they listen to...evidence is quickly mounting that because digital media is mounting...DIGITAL MEDIA OUTSIDE SCHOOL...and experience they are having...they are becoming 'screenagers'

9:34	Kristin Hokanson - First generation that grows up with mouse in hands...with the expectation that images are meant to be manipulated... need to remember this quote for my preso later ;-)
