Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, School of Architecture and Planning, Program in Media Arts and Sciences, 2003.Pages 103-104 blank. "September 2003."Includes bibliographical references (p. 85-88).Invention is largely information driven. Everyone in a community of inventors is an aggregator of information relevant to invention. Sharing some of this information across a community of inventors will result in greater invention effectiveness at the individual and community levels. Sharing this information via an electronic database is an attractive proposition, but gaining attention and participation is difficult. Networked display devices can help foster awareness and participation in a community information sharing system.Michael Rosenblatt.S.M
