	Massachusetts Institute of Technology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, or MIT, is a private research university located in the city of Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.
		In 1861, Massachusetts approved a charter for the incorporation of the "Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Boston Society of Natural History," submitted by William Barton Rogers, a natural scientist.

	Wikinfo \| Massachusetts Institute of Technology
		The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is an independent, coeducational university centered on science and technology, located along the Charles River in the city of Cambridge, Massachusetts directly across from Boston and downstream from Harvard University.
		MIT excels in science and technology, but is also strong in philosophy and a few of the social sciences such as economics, linguistics, and anthropology.
		The antipathy felt in some quarters for the Institute as a whole is in contrast with the strong affection students feel for various parts of the school and the fierce loyalty paid to the school after graduation.

		The ability to hybridize personal media production with the products of mass and popular culture, and to construct media artifacts and spaces that blur distinctions between consumer and producer, high-end and low end, mass media and personal record, will bring about, and require, new perspectives in our theory and practice of multimedia.
		With a diverse background in literary theory, media technology, and artificial intelligence, he researched and developed Media Streams, a prototype system for annotating, retrieving, and repurposing digital video.
		To inform the work, he is studying issues related to structured media, interactive spaces and the representation of topological and geometric structures.

	M.I.T. Media Lab at 15: Big Ideas, Big Money
		Just as the Media Lab has decided to expand, its professors, students and even a few sponsors are starting to wonder how it can remain an open arena for exchanging ideas in an age of start-up companies, competitive research and sudden riches for those who turn their innovations into products.
		Elsewhere, technology professors have been accused of accepting corporate grants for research that merely serves companies' short-term needs or that restricts how much of their work can be shared with colleagues, even those in their own departments.
		Several laboratories conduct similar research but attract far less media attention, and their founders have been known to contend, however subtly, that their innovations are more substantial than those that emerge from under Mr.

	MIT Media Laboratory - Preface
		The Media Lab has long been recognized as a leader in probing beyond the boundaries of the current and conventional understanding of systems technologies and their interactions with people, and for articulating its findings and innovative results across a wide span of media.
		The introduction to the Media Lab’s themes, authored by Negroponte, provides a quick look at the forces shaping the projects and programs of the lab, as they might be viewed from a broader social context.
		In large measure, these parts are in line with the current thinking about the creation of three new organizational entities within the lab–the renamed Media Laboratories as a central focus, with a lab for each of three experimental contexts, intertwined and interdependent, but with each having its own focus and perspective.

	Organisation profile: Media Laboratory - Massachusetts Institute of Technology
		The MIT Media Laboratory occupies a unique position in the rapidly evolving landscape of new media and information technologies.
		It was founded by MIT Professor Nicholas Negroponte and the late Jerome Wiesner (former science adviser to President John F. Kennedy and former president of MIT), who foresaw the coming convergence of computing, publishing, and broadcast, fueled by changes in the communications industry.
		True to the vision of its founders, today's Laboratory continues to focus on the study, invention, and creative use of digital technologies to enhance the ways that people think, express, and communicate ideas, and explore new scientific frontiers.

	Creating 'the Last Book' to Hold All the Others
		These spheres can be applied by the millions to paper and then flipped over electronically to either their fl sides or their white sides to produce what looks like a traditional printed page.
