Ideas are connected

An impresive representation of how ideas flow. Congratulations to people at TED*, and the team behind Bestiario*.
Videoesphere

* The TED Conference, held annually in Long Beach, is still the heart of TED. More than a thousand people now attend — indeed, the event sells out a year in advance — and the content has expanded to include science, business, the arts and the global issues facing our world. Over four days, 50 speakers each take an 18-minute slot, and there are many shorter pieces of content, including music, performance and comedy. There are no breakout groups. Everyone shares the same experience. It shouldn't work, but it does. It works because all of knowledge is connected. Every so often it makes sense to emerge from the trenches we dig for a living, and ascend to a 30,000-foot view, where we see, to our astonishment, an intricately interconnected whole.

* Bestiario is one of the leading studios when it comes to the theme of data visualization. Over the last three years, they have used diverse business models that have always ended up at exactly the same point: the relationship between dogma and product.

P.D.: these days, Barcelona meets Artfutura*, a very inspirational festival.

* Since January 1990, ArtFutura, the festival of Digital Culture and Creativity of reference in Spain, has explored the most interesting projects and ideas that have come up on the international panorama of new media, interactive design, videogames and digital animation.
Its activities include conferences, workshops, interactive installations, exhibitions and live performances.

Humanity Plus | H+ magazine

Humanity Plus (formerly the World Transhumanist Association) has launched h+, a stylish, web-based quarterly magazine that focuses on transhumanism, covering the scientific, technological, and cultural developments that are challenging and overcoming human limitations.

Edited by the legendary RU Sirius, co-founder and editor of the seminal Mondo 2000 magazine, and beautifully designed by virtual worlds artist D.C. Spensley, the magazine's first issue features cutting-edge ideas and interviews with leaders in longevity, neuroengineering, nanofabrication, open-source robotics, science fiction, and other breakthrough areas.

"We hope to go to a print version by issue #2 or 3," publisher James Clement told KurzweilAI.net. "The magazine is primarily targeted to college-aged and young professionals."

Yes, it's your data

My last post can be read under a lot point of views. This time, I only want to focus on a global calling of a global brand. I love talking about global concepts, you know.

But, with the comment from ZoeWiseman (I appreciate it a lot), the eternal debate about how enterprises take for his profit our data emerge on the room. How many hours have passed talking about that with my friends? A lot. And, certainly, our privacy is a concept very important to us. But why? I don’t know.

Recently launched BioGrid Australia Network
(a lot of countries are working on a similar systems)

It’s about all of your data

Of course, I listen slowly the arguments, and understand the hypothetic situations if the data will lost or stolen. But why? All we do gives a data, a pattern written by nature before we birth. It sounds very poetic, but, thinks in that situation. If we see this flow of data (there is more fields that you can imagine), the human being wants to understand the pattern, it’s a natural act, and it's there but the question is really based on the Who. Who will analise these flow.

Surfing the Web Stimulates Older Brains
How Spam is Improving AI

The first and faster protagonist of a field:
Mobileme -> Apple
Ovi -> Nokia
Android -> Google

Any people should do this, but who will do this, possibility it, what should be like? Or, who we want they like? This is the real debate, but, at the end, only the simple question about who should do it, is uncomfortable.

It's good to think about this things, now we have time, and, luckily we can decide who will do these job.
