Specialization is for Insects, Seth says

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

• About Me

  I am Seth Woodworth. This blog mostly covers the time I was working at the One Laptop per Child project working on/with Community, Communication and Media, and doing research at the Berkman Center, where I was working to create a descriptive taxonomy of collaboration online. Updates that are applicable to the Berkman Center, Education Policy and OLPC will still land here. Otherwise, check out my sethish blog.
