David WeinbergerEverything is miscellaneousThe digital disorder is, in fact, a new order. The solution to this massive flow of information is –according to our guest- more information.

The philosopher David Weinberger, member of the Berkman Center for Internet and Society of the Harvard Law School and co-author of the famous and influent “The Cluetrain Manifesto: The end of business as usual” (C. Locke, R. Levine, D. Searls, D.Weinberger, 1999), has published “Everything is miscellaneous: The power of the new digital disorder”. In his last book, Weinberger talks about the failure of the classification order established, and he explains how categorization methods created for physical objects fail when we can place one thing in multiple categories simultaneously, as well as to look for them in many different ways. Weinberger suggests that digitizing information will radically change the way people think.
