Joy Division or Joi's Vision？ . 帰宅しようかと思った際、回覧されてきた用紙をふと見てみると我が愛読雑誌である『WIRED』でもお馴染みの伊藤穰一さん（MITメディアラボ所長）の講演会 「加速する未来で勝ち残る９原則」の案内状！ . そういえばオバマ前大統領との対談は「バラク・オバマが伊藤穰一に語った未来への希望と懸念すべきいつくかのこと」というものだった。それを受けての内容もきっとある筈。加えて案内状を読むと「伊藤所長ならびにMIT-ILPの皆さまと交流いただく場も設けております」とのこと…。い…行きたい…いや行くべき……。がしかし！ フジロックへと向かってる27日じゃないか！！！ 残念…😭 代わりに誰か行ってもらおう . Joy Division（ジョイ・ディヴィジョン）ならぬ、 Joi's Vision （ジョイズ・ヴィジョン）😆✨ きっと面白いに違いない。 . 因みに今年フジロックに出演する我らが小山田くんは 伊藤さんの"はとこ"なんだだよね。 ２人とも超国際的な活躍！ . #そしてフジロックまであと24日 #フジロック #伊藤穰一 #小山田圭吾 #コーネリアス #ワイアード #mitメディアラボ #バラクオバマ #ジョイディヴィジョン #マサチューセッツ工科大学 #joiito #cornelius #obama #barackobama #mit #wired #mitmedialab #fujirock #fujirockcountdown #joydivision

Education is what people do to you, Learning is what you do to yourself.

The Future of Making

This conversation with Joi Ito, Director of the MIT Media Lab, and Tim Brown, CEO of IDEO, focused (initially) on how the tools and methods we use to make things are evolving, and how those tools (and things) will change our personal lives, communities and economies.

Examples included modifying amino acids to create life forms that are completely immune to any existing viruses, as well as some others that can be found at madeinthefuture.co (a great site created by IDEO and the MIT Media Lab. Seriously, check it out and poke around). But the session soon turned more philosophical.

Both Brown and Ito both emphasized the value of learning by doing, as opposed to learning by or through instruction. (Ito offhandedly mentioned how he failed to graduate from college three times, and told a funny story about how he once tried to raise $600K from a company, but the company paid a consultant $3M for a feasibility study telling it not to invest the $600K.)

Likewise, the experts agreed that in evolving the technology we’ll use to make things, problems and mistakes will be inevitable. Therefore, the goal is not to avoid them, but rather to become resilient. By learning the best ways to respond to problems, we not only minimize the chance that any of them will become fatal; we (and what we make) become stronger in the process.

Joi ito and 6 questions

Joi ito - when i was 20 yrs old. I wasn’t that confident yet.  it was going to be OK.  failures and difficult times would be the times would learn the most.  cherish being out of the comfort zone. 

what’s the most exciting piece of technology you’ve come across recently?  bioengineering / synthetic molecular biology. turning a organism into a computational device. ability to genes and reboot the bacteria… 

Tools that people are missing? Math. somehow I wasn’t going to study math anymore. 6 months on learning math.  2weeks. math. 

Diversity and tame it ?  - Tame it? do a lot of things. spending couple years doing things.  coherent world view?  don’t tame your mindset.  direction has been a meandering path.  many different ways of becoming successful.  The most important thing is passion.

Wired: So what happens when innovation gets pushed to the edges? Ito: There is freedom to innovate, freedom to connect, and freedom to access. It’s the core features of the whole Silicon Valley venture world.

Wired: How is that freedom exhibited outside Silicon Valley? Ito: It turns out that you can use the same formula for startups and apply it to other things. For example, the personal landmine treaty would not have passed if it were not for the fact those NGOs could run circles around the United Nations by using email. It cost them nothing to collaborate. In the past it cost tons to collaborate.

Wired: And cheap is what matters? Ito: Being able to do shit without money is a tremendously important thing. Whether you are talking about venture startups, nonprofits, a civic action, the overthrow of dictators, it all comes from diminishing the cost of access, and diminishing the cost of innovation.
