What if tomorrow you woke up in Africa, 30,000 years before today? Exactly how much knowledge do you possess that would make you any better at surviving than anyone else there? Sure, you were savvy enough to build a time machine in your sleep, an awe-inspiring achievement! But; and there's always a but, when you were transported back you landed...
Okay, here it is SpaceCollective....
The new era. WE are living in an INCREDIBLE TIME-how lucky are we?? We get to witness change unlike anything humanity has seen before. (myb & Hopefully survive it)
[I like to try to write sorta sloppy-it shows the internet fad at the time in terms of communication VIA technology. ]
What is (do you...
How often is it that you watch a movie, read a book or have a conversation with a friend and think; "Wow. That just blew my mind."
Your brain instantly flies off on the wings of imagination, deductive reasoning and or awe-inspired stupor. You have original thought, you want to write it down, tell everyone, or crawl up in a ball and...
Unconsciously building our demise. With money becoming so important, and its uses so often worthless, we care only for our own survival. Dependent on a system that is designed to crash.
With money removed from the picture, we'd still have all the tools and resources that exist now. All the means to achieve things, all the people capable of...
For whatever reason, I got to go to a pre-screening of the movie Limitless, and cognitive enhancement is central to the plot. Without revealing to much, the film is about a man who finds a drug that makes him incredibly smart and then some shenanigans happen. The science in the film is nonexistent, but this wont stop me from trying:
The Science...
“Social media has come to be understood as little more than a marketing opportunity. However, we see it as quite possibly the catalyst for the next stage of human evolution and, at the very least, a way to restore bottom-up participation, p2p value exchange and decentralized innovation to the realms of culture, commerce and government.” –...
If Einstein was alive today, he may experiment and teach people things much more powerful than nukes. He only spent time on things as weak as nukes (regardless of who eventually built them using his math) because he had 100 year old technology to work with. Powdered explosives are to nukes as nukes are to what? Airplanes crashing into buildings...
I have been using Facebook for a few years, at the beginning not very much, but now I use it more and more often. Most of my friends are there, Facebook is a very quick and convenient way to stay in touch, and I am beginning to consider it also as a very good alternative to email, discussion group and blogs. And, it has also a very useful mobile...
Some thoughts about miniatyrization and the Internet of Things (IoT) inspired by U.S. Internet suitcase survival kit.
As The New York Times told, U.S. is developing Internet in a suitcase. The idea is to create instant stealth wireless networks that would enable activists to communicate outside the reach of governments in countries like Iran,...
Hello everyone. I just read the attached article that is a couple of years old. A good friend emailed me the article. We talked at lengths about the idea of interconnectedness, and although we as individuals feel like separate elements we are actually connected to the universe in some kind of cosmic hologram, a projection we "see"...
With all the new uprisings lately around the globe, it seems as though the "people's" voice is collectively strengthing and screaming to be heard through technology. Perhaps in the future maybe the US will have a candidate offer up his or her decisions to a public vote. Some sort of voting maching using wireless technology would be...
I've been thinking about how identity passes through ubicomp environments and the types of experiences that could occur in such a relationship. We each carry a digital ID in our smartphone. This ID is a key that grants access to voice, data, location, acceleration, and other information both in the net and in our devices. These handshakes...
Starting from the need to agree on a list of demands, the Wall Street protests have formed their own government. They call it a "General Assembly". They vote on amendments to their list of demands by raising hands and counting. They have leaders but the function of the leaders is to count votes, act as news reporters, and propose major...
What is so peculiar, even curious in a strange sense, concerning the current events of global unrest is not the actuality of the events themselves but the fact that these events do not coalesce (as of yet that is) around a particular and immediately recognizable leader or agenda.
In fact to a very large extent it could be called a non-prophet...
Beyond race, gender, class and nationality one can define a human by personal type. Two tests exist readily available online.
At Human Metrics I answered 72 Yes/No questions to find out that among 16 possible types I am an INFP, or a Healer, which apparently only pops up 1 in 100, so if the permanent colony is 100 people divided by world...
