3 MIT Media Lab Fare clic per modificare stile Founded in 1985 by MIT Professor Nicholas Negroponte and former MIT President Jerome Wiesner Fare In 2011, clic Joi per Ito has modificare been appointed new gli director stili of del the Media testo Lab. dello Joi Ito has an extensive experience in igniting, supporting and managing schema open and online communities, as he was an early investor in Twitter, Six Apart, Wikia, Flickr, Last.fm, Kickstarter, Pinwheel and other Internet companies and as he sits on the board of Creative Commons, Mozilla Foundation and The Knight Foundation. In line with his professional trajectory, Quarto Joi Ito sees livello the Media Lab as a movement more than an institution within academia and thus tries to apply organizational principles based» Quinto on his livello experience in creating and supporting communities and social movements.

5 Today a couple of kids using open-source software, a generic PC and the internet can create a Google, a Yahoo! and a Facebook in their dorm room, and plug it in and it's working even before they've raised money. That schema takes all the innovation from the centre and pushes it to the edges into the little labs inside the Media Lab; inside dorm rooms; even inside terrorist Secondo cells. Suddenly livellothe world is out of control -- the people innovating, Terzo disrupting, livello creating these tools, they're not scholars. They don't care about Quarto disciplines. livello They're antidisciplinary."

6 Nicholas [Negroponte] comes from a slightly top-down, design-led background. I come from a very unorthodox community-building place - Creative Commons, Mozilla, Witness, Global Voices - which are all about schema creating movements. To me there's a science to community building. If you extend the Media Lab as a network, and bring in different types Secondo of partners and livello nonprofits, and create more diversity, the lab itself could become a mission, a movement."

7 People think of the lab as a lot of smart people in a really cool-looking building making really cool gadgets. But I want it to have a much today schema don't want to make more money, don't want to become immortal, stronger normative political message - a lot of the kids at the Media Lab they just want to figure out how to fix this unhealthy system we have. There Secondo are lots of kids livello who are not happy with this massive consumerism, Terzo this livello unsustainable growth, but who have really smart science and technology Quarto livello values. That's a type of person we can draw into what I think will become a movement."

8 We aim to capture serendipity. You don't get lucky if you plan everything -- and you don't get serendipity unless you have peripheral vision and creativity. schema [Conventional] peer review and scholarship play by predetermined rules -- that five other people agree that what you're doing is interesting. Here, even Secondo if you're the livello only person in the world who thinks something's interesting, Terzo you livello can do it. Our funding model allows our students to do anything they Quarto want without livello asking permission. It's like venture capital: we don't expect every experiment to succeed -- in fact, a lot are failures. But that's great -- failure is another word for discovery."

9 We want to take the DNA [of the lab], the secret sauce, and drop it into communities, into companies, into governments [ ] It's my mission, our mission, to spread that DNA. You can't actually tell people to think for themselves, schemaor be creative. You have to work with them and have them learn it themselves." Secondo livello
