What is Serendipity about?

Serendipity can be defined as "an attentiveness for the moment or the discovery by chance or sagacity of phenomena not originally looked for" as Dr. Ina-Maria Greverus says.

It might be also an attitude taken for researching and learning. Or a mood in which sharing knowledge can let us learn. This is what Serendipity is about: sharing and learning to research.

Modos de lectura de noticias - Del papel a la Web
Monografía de grado- Licenciatura en Comunicación Social

Autor: Soledad Caballero
Tutor: Rosario Sánchez Vilela

En el paso del papel a la Web, hay cambios en los modos de lectura de noticias pero también hay continuidades. Los nuevos modos de lectura se vinculan al cambio de soporte en que se propone el texto, y al cambio en la percepción y valoración subjetiva del tiempo y el espacio que estos lectores otorgan al mundo online y al mundo del papel.

Aunque las modificaciones en los modos de lectura asociadas al soporte pantalla estén imbricadas con la posibilidad e imposibilidad de ciertos gestos lectores ante la mutación del objeto físico, el cambio perceptivo no se explica exclusivamente por el cambio de soporte, ni por la tecnología Internet en particular.

There is an interesting discussion about "serendipity" at "The engine of serendipity" May 18, 2006

I agree with the fact the Serendipity should be a doorway and certainly technology can help us to build it.
