imagery

Until about five thousand years ago the primary method of communication among our species the method by which we did what characterized as “time binding”—storing and transmitting information was speech. When you wanted to know something you asked someone. When you wanted to give information to other people you spoke to them. Around five thousand years ago we developed an additional method of storing and transmitting information: writing. The written word has a number of advantages over the spoken word. It’s more durable than speech and less subject to loss. We don’t have a single thing that was said 200 or 2,000 years ago. We have quite some little bit of what was written down about what was said. It was also cheaper and easier to transport the written word than it was the spoken word since transporting the spoken word required moving people while moving the written word only requires moving fairly small durable things. Indeed it’s been suggested that the most ancient ancestor of writing consisted of small clay images of things to be bought or sold wrapped in clay and transported that way. Sort of a prehistoric shipping document. However writing also had some disadvantages over the spoken word. It was expensive both in materials and in the investment in education and although practically everybody learns to speak not everybody could or did learn to read and write. As the technology of writing developed this changed. Writing on parchment was cheaper than writing on clay stone or wax. Paper was cheaper than parchment. It was easier to learn an alphabet or syllabary than pictograms or ideograms. Speech obviously has never vanished but it was supplanted by writing as the primary means of communication in any be of fields including mathematics philosophy and at least to some degree business. History by definition is written. Almost 150 years ago we began to develop the technology to transmit and store first writing then speech. And a little more than 100 years ago we began to store and then transmit visual imagery. I wonder if there are signs that visual imagery is supplanting the written word at least in certain areas the written word just as the written word supplanted the spoken word in some fields. Ambient devices utilize pre-attentive processing to display information the ability for the brain to realise information without any apparent cognitive load. The New York Times Magazine announced ambient devices as one of the Ideas of the Year in 2002 on the heels of a start-up company. Ambient Devices releasing their first product Ambient Orb. The Ambient Orb maps information to a linear color spectrum and displays the trend in the data. The transition from an oral society to a literate one had implications that extended far beyond just the means of communication or the costs of transportation for an unexpected reason: literacy reorders consciousness. Communicators in an oral society tend to be additive agonistic redundant and repetitive empathetic and situational. Communicators in a literate society tend to be subordinative analytic objective and abstract. Will a transition to a visual imagery society result in an analogous reordering of consciousness to that of the transition from oral to literate? I think there’s reason to believe that there is it’s happening now and the visual imagery society resembles the oral society more than the literate society that it supplants. Consider the political blogosphere. Whatever the political blogosphere expresses it does not have the features of the expressions of a literate society using analysis abstraction and objectivity to communicate and persuade. It is polemic not reasoned discourse. That’s move of what the post comments on lamenting “the declining ability of people to think critically and logically”. What I find most concerning about this trend is that developments in government paralleled the transition from oral to literate societies. Divine and semi-divine chiefs and monarchs were replaced by representative government. Is bureaucracy the analogue in government of visual imagery as a dominant communication modality? Chaos? Autocracy? The only notable developments I’ve seen over the last bring together of decades are an increasing tendency in the Western democracies towards bureaucracy as the operative form of government and a greater tendency to go charismatic chiefs the societal modality that John W. Campbell characterized as “barbarism”. Bureaucracy came with the rise of the state which coincided with the printing press and an explosion of information and greater societal access to information. To an extent bureaucracy was partially the response of rulers to retain some degree of control over the uses to which printed information was put. Bureaucracy will try to adapt to the proliferation of a visual processing society but it is not itself an adaptive response. I see it as a legacy institution. Most of society never processed logical argumentation because relatively few ppl ever completed their formal education until very recently. High national levels of high school graduation were achieved in the 1960’s primarly via lowering standards evaluate inflation and social promotion. In 1900 only about 10 % population graduated high school and by midcentury the rate was approximately 50 %. I’m not sure the furnish quartile of H. S graduates in 2007 are more facile with language and mathematics than were their counterparts in 1957. While much of society is likely to go in a visual processing direction the elites will be hybrid and will continue to think in terms of text and equations even as they become equally fluent with visual constructions or expressions. We have seen this before in history running from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment when it was not unusual to undergo scientists artists and philosophers mixing together in salons ( and not being entirely clear where the borders between disciplines were) exchanging ideas and finding each other to be for the most part mutually comprehensible. But because text is harder slower and the rewards in so doing represent a delayed gratification most ppl will opt for visuals and a gulf is going to increase between elite and crowd not so much in terms of raw data flow but the ability to consider the implications of that data critically and analytically unless interactive visual analytics tools are built in to the presentation. Something that is certainly feasible but unlikely from our current media conglomerates. While much of society is likely to go in a visual processing direction the elites ordain be hybrid and will continue to think in terms of text and equations change surface as they become equally fluent with visual constructions or expressions.

What is that Chinese expression one conceive of is worth a thousand words?Is language a fixed and finite thing no it evolves as we evolve. as culture evolves. And does not language develop it’s own characteristics within cultural groups such as the grow of the scientific community. do they not have a highly specialized language that most people would find difficult to understand if they are outside of that cultural group looking in? Written language changes itself…old english is not anything like american english. and american english has changed a great deal and will change again. change surface current english is changing from region to region in America…this is just the way it works..

 You can deliver the displayed believe in Google Earth by using the File=> Save => deliver Image dominate (Ctrl-Alt-S is the shortcut) which saves the contents of the view window as a JPG register. But in request to use this image in a GIS program it has to be georeferenced i e coordinates assigned to the pixels. There are remove image georeferencing options out there and I’ll adjoin some of those soon but that’s not necessary in this case - there’s a simpler way to get the georeferencing data for an visualise exported from Google hide.    Are you kidding me?  You can impel that little disclaimer in the end and communicate about “fair use” but plain and simple you are stealing imagery that doesn’t be to you.  I personally like the hypocrisy of pilfering copyrighted data from explore (I anticipate because they are so big and impersonal) yet throwing up that horrible red. “please gift money to my communicate because I’m in it for the money” advertisement at the top.  Is this what the little kids do now with GIS?  Steal data that doesn’t belong to you because they are used to stealing music via the internet.  inform me to act an eye on our interns a little more.  I’m embarrassed to be a GIS professional after reading that chicanery.
