Information Language Structure.

Since language structure is necessary for humans to communicate and share; then we need a common information language structure for communicating and sharing online. Our language and its structure is an integral component of how we think, communicate, learn and share.

Language evolves from our need to communicate; therefore, technological developments such as email and the Internet, enablers for communications, need to evolve in accordance with our language structure. In theory, we can utilize any applications and devices that we want to communicate with. In practice, we follow our natural human intelligence, which is based on our language structure of nouns and verbs. The way we find, save, and share data by means of nouns and verbs becomes our communication exchange and makes possible the sharing of knowledge.

Email and the Internet have given us glimpses of the possibilities – and issues of concern - along the digital frontier. The “digital divide”, for example, is a natural concern and a gap that must be closed. But technologists (early adapters as well as scholars), individuals, and grassroots activists and organizations realize that it is not the digital divide that prevents technology from reaching its full potential. The real concern is the “ease of use” divide and how information management limits the potential of communication technology.

The hard facts of today’s information bottleneck, showcased and magnified by the aftermath of 9/11 information exchange, show that current communication technology just adds more layers to the information madness. Confronted by new technology, we must ask “how is it going to help us share information, declare common knowledge, and make decisions as a community? How can we share grassroots solutions, archive, and preserve experiences within communities so we can better co-exist? Even more important, how can we build technology that truly enables and simplifies our lives?”

Our information language structure does not need to be re-invented. It must evolve based on our current language structure, a “low tech” solution. The user-interface of our current language structure, nouns and verbs, must be re-applied within our communication and information management technologies.

Below is a link to an Alike presentation and our proposal for META information language structure, an evolutionary design for technology developments. Alike T.H.I.N.G.S. (The Human Intelligence Navigational Guidance Structure) and its three-button user-interface is not another revolutionary theory but an evolutionary extension of each human communication user-interface, our language structure.
