What happens to knowledge when it comes in conversation with the Internet, Google and big data?

I find Reed College Professor of German (and a philosopher as well) Jan Mieszkowski's tweets are fascinating of this in terms of western philosophy-oriented humanities < > and 140 characters in Twitter social media philosophizing ... and there are so many potential ways thinkers coming into conversation may head with new forms of knowledge generation and in so many languages and computer science and information technologies.

Hi Peg, Nelson, Li Fei and All,
I'm writing with a question to all of you in Nelson's "Tourism, Art and Modernity" course at UC Berkeley (and extended circle of academic friends, and of many languages) concerning the title of my upcoming Harbin Hot Springs' book and re translation - http://www.scottmacleod.com/
After the Tourism Studies' talk last night - thanks, Peg, for an excellent talk ... http://tourismstudies.org/
Naked Harbin Ethnography:
Hippies, Warm Pools, Counterculture, Clothing-Optionality & Virtual Harbin
... from ...
Naked Harbin Ethnography:
Hippies, Warm Pools, Counterculture, Clothing-Optionality & the Virtual
since this latter title's last word wouldn't translate very clearly into Chinese in terms of "virtual reality" or "computer generated multimedia."
What would you suggest for a best title for my Harbin book for translating this into your languages? (Jie, what's Tina Gong Na's Berkeley or similar email address?) And here are related words Jie and I were talking about translating into Chinese last week - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.
More about this and much more in my blog entry from today - http://scott-macleod.
And thank you again so much, Nelson, for writing the Foreward to my Harbin book - which is much appreciated!
All the best,
Scott
PS Nice to see you today, Scott Elder at the Presidio Trust book group on tourism studies in SF - and thanks for letting us know about this Presidio Trust event, Amanda Guzman!
