Science FOR ALL
Ubiquity Reuse/Remixing Cognitive Surplus
UBIQUITY
UBIQUITY
Dark SIDE of Ubiquity
REMIX
Imperative Procedure -> Reusable Building Block Aka first order functions, scripting, macros Many examples in science and arts.
Music: tracks Biology: Synthetic biology tools: biobots, gene databases,
etc. Physics: Gauss->Tensors, Rivet (CERN): publish, run, reuse
tunings Share solutions. Increase intelligent behaviour across users. Unstable but extremely powerful.

" Disaster Mapping web application.
" Harvest media (photos, videos, audio) coming out of a disaster
" Analyse media to produce structured and relevant data of what is happening on the ground
" Share knowledge of experts with crowd to enable them to perform analysis

Arctic ICT: helping whale hunters adapt to climate change
Arctic ICT
Climate change alters how local subsistence communities hunt for food.
Decreasing ice cover. Enable local communities to build their own kit
