what’s our elevator?

what’s going to let us

build skyscraperswith our scholarship?

APIs

geek-speak

for computerstalking to computers

Before the elevator,people could only

get higher using their legs

after: machinesdid some of the

heavy lifting

before APIs,people could only

get higher using their eyes

http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2404/2302651444_00fc119685.jpg

now, machines

can do some of theheavy lifting

When all tall buildings have elevators

We spend less effort to climb up

And, the buildings can get taller.

Where are we on this path?

I’m a scientist who wants to take the elevator.

My research *needs* to be built on top of the

research of others, on a large scale.

A little challenging at the moment for an elevator

enthusiast.

10,000

So I did two things.

1. back room deal.

2. found an institution and joined it

which required being fingerprinted

which required a fieldtrip to the police station

in the worst neighbourhood in my city

for citations.

How can we fix this?

How can we get to the point where our scholarship

is connected with elevators?

What kinds of elevators should they be?

different uses, different users

so... what have I done with it?

finally, don’t judge demand by requests for an elevator

before 1900

http://www.otisworldwide.com/d31-timeline.html

it might take a while for adoption

it will happen.
