[TINGS]carry narratives and more still. TINGS are objects of private and intimate contemplation that are possessed rather than owned or even worn. TINGS are the the vehicles for ideas and TINGS are not decorative. TINGS are primordial and at the same time can carry all the contemporaneous of the human potentials in the here and now.
Contemporaneous NOTEtaking and MEMORYkeeping is being challenged as technologies evolve and as they becomes more more expansive, more detailed. PLUS technologies are being increasingly accurate as timely records of conversations, observations, or interactions taken on more and more significance after an event. Increasingly, NOTEtaking serves as reliable evidence in legal and professional settings, acting as a vital memory aid and a way to provide evidence beyond hearsay.
To be effective, the NOTEtaking should be timestamped, include sufficient detail for later understanding, and it must be protected from retrospective alteration or removal. So, much in the same as TIMEpieces shrank from 'Town Clocks' with a multitude of moving parts to 'personal devices' without any, we might well imagine that a TING might embody and/or resemble a TIMEtool of MICROproportions.
Somehow there is a kind of expectation that a TING is HANDheld, a haptic device, that in a way matches the 'possessor's' humanity albeit that already MICROchips afford very humanity tiny 'deices' to be implanted in our bodies. More to the point, our SMARTphones have evolved to a point where 4to5 year olds and 90plus are articulate in their 'deployment'.
The notion that our SMARTphones are in fact TINGS does not seem all that outragious notion now albeit that no so long ago the idea would have been laughable to many.
Pedagogy, is a term that refers to the method of how teachers teach, in theory and in practice. Pedagogy is formed by an educator's teaching beliefs and concerns the interplay between culture and different ways to learn. However, teaching methodologies have changed and expanded as technologies evolve.
