Von Büchern, dem Social Web und dem voneinander Lernen

Es gibt Begegnungnen, die was Besonderes sind. Egal ob offline oder online. Diese hier beginnt mit einem Buch samt Videotutorial, das Little Boxes heißt.

Thesis: An analysis of similarities and parallels between domesticated chickens feeling a sense of ownership of their nesting boxes and human dwelling occupiers feeling ownership of their mortgaged bedrooms.

Though the benefits of living with structure need to be deeply understood too. And neither that thesis nor Little Boxes even nod in that direction.
