Pine: Experiences from social to economic realm
วีดีโอ
80%693 ดูIt always is this twin thing, of what is happening on the supply side in business, and what is happening on the consumer side, on the market side. They very often come together. Because the supply creates its own demand, and demand will eventually create supply. So you have in fact both factors. The fact is that consumers increasingly want more experiences and partly that's because what they're doing is that they're taking things out of the social realm and putting it into the economic realm. And we all used to be responsible ourselves for the experiences we have. In the US one big thing was a family Sunday dinner. Sunday dinner was when everybody would come together, you know even an extended family, and you would have this wonderful dinner. It was a way of creating the social experience. Well now, we may still have that, but we go to a restaurant and we pay somebody else to do the cooking for us and do the serving for us and do the cleaning up afterwards for us. So you take things out of the social, that we've always done, and move them from the social realm, personal realm, into an economic realm. That's one of the things that's going on.There is a recognition that we want things the way we want them. We want to have experiences. You can look at what's going on in terms of TV itself, and movies for that matter, and how more rapidly cut they are, so you get this sense of, if something stays the same for too long I'm bored. Therefore I want something different. That leads into it as well. And then you do have a whole raft of supply side factors, including technology being one of them. But also there's a... fundamentally there is simply a search for differentiation. The primary reason that companies are shifting to experience is because their goods and services are being commoditized. They're being treated the same, they're being bought on price, price, price. They have to focus on cost and therefore to find differentiation to be able to charge a price premium. Then they have to shift up to staging experiences, not just delivering services or manufacturing goods.

Kelly: Emergence of technologies
วีดีโอ
80%560 ดูA creole language is when people are forced into a situation where they're working alongside or living alongside people who are speaking many different languages and they have no shared language with which to communicate. It happened in places like Hawaii, when people came from Latin America, from China, North America- multiple languages were being spoken. They had to work together, they had to invent a language, essentially, to be able to communicate. That's a creole language. The interesting thing about creole language is that it works for the users in terms of their capability to communicate with each other but as linguists look at the grammatical structure of a creole language they argue that it does not actually conform to the essential rules of what human language systems have to have in place to be a meaningful language, to be a living, real language. The fascinating thing is, that the very first generation of children born to creole language speakers actually transform it into a pidgin language. And the pidgin language absolutely conforms to everything that the linguists would use to describe the appropriate grammatical structure, etcetera, that define a living language. What's fascinating to me about that is that at that generational phase, the humanity takes over. So, human beings invent something as adults, to help them communicate. People born into it, actually make it human. They make it meaningfully human. I think exactly the same thing is true of technology. I think that technologies are created as tools in the first instance in ways that are actually not wholly human. Not wholly in sync with human values and human experience and human motivation. And I think that the first generation of children born into a new technological environment take them from being tools and incorporate them into being part of human life, human existence- in exactly the same way as the children of the creole language speakers make it into a pidgin language, which actually does conform to human language systems. I think it's a very interesting analogue and quite a useful one to keep in mind, because I suspect that 'we ain't seen nothing yet' in terms of the power of the connective technologies that are already changing the world. As the next generations grow up with that they will make that meaningfully human in a way that we have not seen yet.

Nanotechnology being used in current products
วีดีโอ
80%650 ดูI definitively believe that nanotechnology is around now, even in products that people use today. Again, it's one of these technologies that comes in in a rather invisible way. Clearly the key area where nanotechnology is needed, with respect to the industrial society we are in, is in making the silicon chips smaller and more performing. So the size of transistors today on these chips and certain aspects of a transistor, it's only a few nanometers that matter. You make a certain layer of oxide a bit too thin or a bit too thick by one or two nanometers and you're in trouble. So the ability to control dimensions in the microelectronics industry is really nanotechnology at the moment right now. In other fields, in biotech, in medicine, we're seeing the first signs of solutions that are based on nanoscale control, so that are really nanotechnology. But it's not a full-fledged technology yet.

Smart mobs - mobile phone for collective action
วีดีโอ
80%622 ดูThe premise of 'Smart Mobs' was that the mobile telephone, the personal computer and the Internet were merging into a new medium that would have its own characteristics. It would take some time for people to start using this device in ways that they'd not used the telephone or the Internet or the PC and to begin to recognize its uniqueness. For one thing, these devices presumably would know where they are, using GPS technology. They would even know where they were looking, using things like accelerometers and magnetometers. Given this context awareness of these personal devices, what kinds of social practices would emerge? That was the premise of the book. The fundamental basic conclusion was that this is a radical and extremely powerful new step in a long-term coevolution of human creation of technologies that enable new ways to communicate, and that when those new ways to communicate engender literate populations, those literate populations do things together in new ways that they weren't able to do before. What sociologists call 'collective action'. Everything from agriculture to warfare to international telephone systems is a form of collective action. When I wrote the book I used it in the political sphere. The example of the Philippine citizens who used SMS messages to organize demonstrations that ended up bringing down the Estrada regime. The president of the Philippines was toppled by people using mobile phones to pass the word around. That struck me as a threshold event. Since then I've documented - and certainly this is just scratching the surface - over 90 different political events, self-organized, using mobile telephones and the Internet, most recently and most prominently, the use of social media and smart mob tactics by the Obama campaign in the US. I could go on and on. In Africa, monitoring elections where there was fear of corruption, people with mobile phones communicating with radio stations. In China, many, many, many incidents, including the information about the SARS epidemic which the Chinese government tried to keep a lid on, but there were 150 million SMS messages in three days about it, so the word got out.

Bernardo: Storytelling for various media
วีดีโอ
80%615 ดูWhat we tend to do, is to create a world and have different sorts of contents that are suited for web platform and are not suited for the other. From a technical point of view it's different to shoot, especially because you have a more intimate one-to-one experience. The technology doesn't allow you... for example mobile phones - you have to be aware of time, of camera movements and lighting and all that. That's a technical issue. But also in terms of content, people have different experiences. When I watch television at home normally I'm sitting on the couch, or lay back. When I'm watching something on the mobile phone I am very close to the screen and it's a more one-to-one experience and more intimate. So that changes the type of content, how you shoot it, if it's a total camera or if it's something that is more... you are more a third person and you're not inside the story. All these elements change the way that you structure. For me, and what I tend to include in all the projects that we do, it really is different. You have a different experience, so there's no point to pick the same content and put it in all the platforms. You need to realize how people consume entertainment on each platform. The way they consume, the time of the day, the length of the content, and you need to be really very careful how you structure your big story. So you know, this piece of content will have much more impact if it shot this way and shown on a mobile, and the other piece of content will have more impact if it's shown on television.

Technologically possible but not socially accepted
วีดีโอ
80%537 ดูIt's a good point to think of the difference between the technological feasibility of things and the socio-cultural acceptance of things, because they're two different things. And often, right now, the speed at which technology is introduced, a lot of people are having a difficult time catching up. So you could also think that it becomes an important bottleneck, this socio-cultural acceptance of technology. And I think engineers and also designers who are developing new technologies and thinking about how they are integrated in society should really consider this. They should really think of the generation of people that's not used to the new technology yet and how to cope with that. And there are different strategies. For instance, if you relate it to something that people already know, that's often a better way to introduce something than just, bang, drop it on them. A small but charming example of that is in the Apple iPhone or in the Apple iPad. There you have this digital book collection, but it's presented as a book shelf. And I think that's really interesting, that they throw this whole new model of digital books onto people, but they present it on a digital book shelf. And that’s really deliberate, I think, so that people relate to the notion of having a book collection, having books, whereas in fact the whole digital book market, well, in the end, probably, the book shelf will go extinct because of it, so though it's presented in their words, in the end it's going extinct. But that's a way of being very considerate of how you introduce a new technology and how you cope with the ideas and one could say the media schemes people already have in their heads on what technology can do and how you can then stretch them a little bit.

Bostrom: Reducing existential risk
วีดีโอ
80%568 ดูOne kind of existential risk arise out of human modification and human enhancement. Especially if we change our emotions and values or various psychological attributes that might fundamentally shape our values and preferences. It's the kind of change that once you've made it you might no longer want to go back. Even if by current lights you would have changed for the worse. You would be able to go back. Presumably you would have the same technology, you could stop using it, but you might no longer want it. It's the same that you have some idealistic youth, perhaps, and then they go to law school, committed to the idea that they will then become like a civil rights lawyer or something, but they get their values slowly changed and then they end up being a lawyer for some big corporation to sue their competitive corporation. Once that value change has occurred even though they could still become an idealist if they choose to, they could just go and work for Greenpeace or whatever, they won't do it. So similarly things that can change our values, it's very dangerous to fool around with that. So there are also ways, of course, in which some human enhancements could mitigate existential risk, for example, cognitive enhancement. It might be that we just need to be smarter to figure out how to not destroy ourselves the first time we create, say, machine super intelligence. That you might need, you might need enough intelligence to be able to foresee the consequences of some of the actions we're taking. So depending on what kind of enhancement you're talking about, it might either increase or decrease existential risk. I mean, ultimately... So here one question also is whether your values have focused on currently existing people or whether you're, at the other extreme, neutral between all future generations and bringing happy people into existent counts as much as making people already exist happy. So if you only care about existing people then you might want to be quite risk seeking in the sense that currently we're all dying. So unless something radical changes, we're all going to be dead within a hundred years or so, and most of us much sooner. When in a desperate situation like that you want to try, even if it's a long shot, it's the only change you have of maybe achieving a cosmic scale lifespan. You know, something really radical would have to change. If you are temporarily neutral and you care as much about bringing new happy people in to existence as you do about making currently existing people happy, then your priority will instead be to do whatever increases the chances that ultimately we will develop, you know, a galactic civilisation that's happy. Whether it takes a hundred years or fifty years or fifty thousand years is completely irrelevant, because once it's there it can last for billions of years. So you would then do whatever it takes to reduce existential risk as much as possible. And whether that means causing famines in Africa or not doing that, whatever it would be, just fading in significance compared to this call of reducing existential risk. So you get very different, very different sort of, priorities depending on this basic question in value theory.

Brizel: Micro-time - mobile’s redefinition of time
วีดีโอ
80%636 ดูMobile technology has redefined time into what I would call micro-time. Things happen so quickly it’s literally in the blink of an eye, I mean we have changed culture already in the blink of an eye just by texting. Things happen so preposterously fast that we now look at faxes... faxes, which in 1985 were extraordinary. Faxes replaced overnight mail and bicycle messengers and having to make photocopies and sending them across the world. You could send a fax and people would stand around a fax machine and just watch the paper as it fed through because it was so amazing. Now people are not even using the voice element on their mobile phones because it’s not fast enough, they can send a text. This is something worth sitting up and paying attention to because if it gets any faster we’re just going to be telepathing each other, which... I’m all for telepathic, but... Moore’s Law is an accepted theorem in the technology world that approximately every 18 to 24 months technology is doubling in its’ speed and capacity. I’m sure I’ve somehow gotten that wrong but people will know what I’m talking about. Things are happening so fast in mobile, in terms of time compression that we’re down to a six month window. Products come out and within six months they’re obsolete because a newer, faster, more interesting gizmo has been added, and once it is popularly accepted there’s no going back. If people like what they are using, anything else is just, unfortunately, garbage at a certain point.

Greenfield: The everyware future
วีดีโอ
80%710 ดูThe most important thing to get right at the outside is that it is an historical document now. I mean it was written in 2005, it was published in 2006, and so it may retain some value. But it is essentially a snapshot of the way we thought the technological future was unfolding in the mid 2000's. Reality has turned out otherwise. The book starts with the work of a guy named Mark Weiser. Mark Weiser who is the Chief Technologist at Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center in the mid 1990's. And he saw very clearly that we are removing from the mainframe with its one machine to many user relationship through the one-to-one relationship of the personal computer towards a place where there be many computational devices and services addressing the needs of a single human individual. And as the transition from the mainframe to the personal computer required a new mode of user interface, a new way of understanding the human interaction with that computational power, so to, with the transition towards what he termed ubiquitous computing, requiring new modes of thinking about interface, new ways of thinking about human beings interacting with this computational power. And there were many many phrases that were used by a variety of institutions that were active in that field in the 1990's and early 2000's, and there is pervasive intelligence and ambient intelligence and pervasive computing and ubiquitous computing, and network awareness, and all of these other very technical, very... you know the words kind of stuck in your mouth. They did not really convey very much of anything at all. And I thought that what if there were a term that the people who would be exposed to this technology, ordinary everyday people, could use to help them think about it. And I came up with this umbrella term 'everyware', everywhere as in software and hardware. And to be honest I am not sure how successful it was as a coinage, I am not sure that it ever really caught on or conveyed much of anything itself, so I regard that, at best, a partial success. Nevertheless I am still... I think the book was more successful than the term itself.

Paradox of science - part of society very complex
วีดีโอ
80%630 ดูI feel that science is at a critical stage, and I think there's the following phenomenon. Clearly, scientific research is progressing and it becomes massive in certain aspects, and we go to details which are very very far removed from society. It's hardly possible to explain what people are doing. On the other hand, because of that increased detail, science becomes very effective. You can have personal medicine, you can have technology everywhere, in your body, it really becomes... You become immersed in science. So you get this kind of paradox that science is almost infinitely far away, yet very close-by. That creates a tension, I think. So I feel that science in some sense is really integrating with society in a certain way that we still not, I think, have a good way to cope with. We can't just say that science is something completely separate from society, because its impact is basically too large, and because it's getting this increased impact, I think science itself is changing and the relation of science to society is changing. I don't think we have yet found an equilibrium there. Perhaps new technologies can play a role in that, but I really feel that in some sense we are at a transition point where we have to cope with this fact that we are truly, I would say, a complete part of the processes in society.

Bhambhri: Extracting valuable information
วีดีโอ
80%672 ดูData is never waste, whatever the form it is in. Of course it is waste if it is not being analysed, and if it is not a part of the decision-making process. Now whether it be structured, semi-structured or unstructured data, there is value in the data. If you look at a lot of unstructured data... I would kind of blend semi-structured and unstructured data, which have always been a little harder to analyse. So when we look at unstructured content, the reason why it has been hard to analyse is because when there is no structure to it, how do you put it in the world of databases, which is all about rows and columns and a very strict, extremely structured world? If data doesn't fit in that model of 'here is a name, here is an address, and here is the zip code', and every piece of information that you get, these are the three pieces of information that are extracted and put in a database. But now, when we look at the fact that there is unstructured contents coming in, from which maybe we are still looking for name, address and zip code, but if there is more information there, like not just the name of the customer but information maybe about their other relationships that might exist, which we haven't gleaned, which we now can glean from this data, it may show what their other interests are, what their buying patterns are: where do they shop, are they triggered by promotions or not? I mean, there is a lot of information that can be gleaned now which may not be captured in just the name and the address. That has been sort of the traditional mailing lists that businesses would have. It would be: 'Here's the name, here's the address and this is the coupon that you send to everybody on this mailing list,' without taking into account what they really care about. So now, with a lot of unstructured and semi-structured data, that can be analysed. Businesses can figure out what is relevant for them, so that they can be serviced based on what they care about. And I think that's why it's important to not just discard the semi-structured or unstructured content, because there is information that can be gleaned from it. And now we have the technology so that we can extract information from a lot of this semi-structured and unstructured content. Text analytics is suddenly... It's been around forever, but now it's sort of reaching the place where it has found a very good problem that it can solve, because of the social media, and because of technologies that make it easy to bring in all this data quickly and analyse it. Information can be extracted from this, it can be correlated with the information that may already be there in your structured world, and suddenly now you get more data points or more information. Because you have extracted information from unstructured data, you already have information from structured data, you correlate, and now you know more about whatever it is: it could be customers, it could be your subscribers, it could be your patients, whoever the user might be.

Agriculture faces challenges - they can be solved
วีดีโอ
80%546 ดูWe should not take for granted that we will forever have abundance and food security in this world. We shouldn’t even take that for granted today because we don’t have it today. And agriculture faces an historically unprecedented series of challenges. I mean if you go all the way back to the Neolithic time 12,000 years ago when people began to make a transition from hunting and gathering to agriculture, at no point in agriculture’s history has agriculture itself faced so many huge challenges. How are we going to deal with those challenges, including climate change? One of the ways that we’re going to deal with it is by conserving this crop diversity and using it, because this crop diversity is, it’s a green technology. It’s safe, it’s renewable, it’s sustainable. And we’re going to need to conserve this crop diversity if we’re going to enable agriculture to adapt to the future. So that’s a simple message. And I guess there’s another, there’s a second message actually and that is that this is perhaps the only truly massive global problem in the world that I can look you right in the eyes and say: We can solve it.

Armstrong: Living architecture - example of Venice
วีดีโอ
80%544 ดูThe city of Venice seemed to be a perfect thought experiment for an exploration of the potential of the new technologies that we're developing and how to articulate what these technologies might do that traditional technologies haven't managed to achieve. Venice was a city that was threatened by the changes in water level. Obviously it's a very complex situation. But we were very interested in its relationship with water, because many of the technologies we're using are actually dependent on water for their movement, for their metabolism and for the energy that exists at the interface, which is between oil and water. And so its historic context as well and the fact that it represents all of these wonderful things that humans do and that it was something that was worth preserving, but twentieth century techniques haven't managed to come up with a strategy that everybody really likes and it still remains a huge problem in terms of what we're going to do with Venice. So we decided to undergo a thought experiment. Would it be possible for us to design protocells in a way that could help us breathe new life into Venice in some way? Or create strategies through which the city of Venice could be transformed so it was more equipped to deal with the challenges that it’s currently facing? So what we did was, we designed a system that was based on observations that we'd made in the laboratory. So we know that the protocells can move away from light. We can design them to do that. We also know that they can produce carbonate shells, which is the experiment that I've been involved in. And so we combined these features, so that if we selectively introduced the protocells into the canals in Venice, then the idea was that they don't like the light, they don't deposit their solid material in the open canals, but they go down under the foundations of Venice where it's dark, they reach a lower energetic state, and they're able to secrete these carbonate shells around the droplets and they gradually petrify or create a coral reef around the foundations of Venice. Now, what this does from an architectural perspective, is it literally takes the stilettos of the city and turns them into platform boots. So it spreads the point load. Because Venice is built in a very soft base. And so by off-loading some of the weight of the city, we would be able to attenuate some of the sinking. But the speculative use of the technology also provided a very interesting way of articulating the way that we would engage with the technology. So, for example, we'd use it in very specific contexts, where buildings would be threatened, and that we would be able to monitor and garden, as it were, the progression of the reef-like structure underneath the city of Venice and we'd be hoping that we would encourage the marine ecology to actually participate in this. Because of course by creating an artificial reef, you create new homes and shelters for the marine wildlife. We thought it was a very interesting way of articulating how we can create an architecture that connects the natural system to an existing city. And that the growth and development of this reef would become like an underwater park or feature that would actually add an additional benefit that wouldn't destroy the way that Venice already looks and is the place that we love and know and think about romantic encounters and places of great beauty. But it doesn't spoil that aesthetic, but at the same time it brings in another dimension that is not yet viewed. And perhaps this then brings alternative business into the city and creates a feature that becomes part of the whole Venice experience. So, really, it was a thought experiment, but also has a very practical basis and of course this is something that we're looking to develop models for and start to test the technology. Because, again, because it's based on a complex system, it's something that really needs to be set up and designed and tested. It's very hard to predict exactly what's going to happen. And we already appreciate that there are things like local currents, populations of fish that might find little fatty droplets very tasty. There are lots of challenges of course, introducing a complex agent into a complex environment, that would really need this kind of gardening engagement. But we think that's part of the beauty of the technology as well.

New media facilitating an explosion of knowledge
วีดีโอ
80%575 ดูMy interests are in two broad areas. One is the consumer-citizen use of new media. And the second is the employee-managers use of new media. So the first roughly looks at internet, etc. The second at intranet, within companies, what is happening with the new media tools, technology, etc. So here there are very good case studies again from India and other parts of Asia, of companies who have used the intranet collaborative tools on land ranking and grading systems to become much smarter, to become more productive and improve all the work in the global market place. So companies like for instance Infosys, one of India's leading software companies, has got an award-winning knowledge management practice and they won an award for the last five years in a row called "MAKE: Most Admired and Knowledge Enterprise." This is sort of like the Oscars of the knowledge management world. Any company who has this in the field is regarded as "wow" - the best, a star in the application of knowledge management techniques to work. So one big chunk of knowledge management practices in Infosys, is the whole tools that they use, the IT-infrastructure, the design and how it is embedded into the workflow. So this is not just how to design a portal, a content management system and tell people to throw everything on to it. You have to use the applications on the intranet in such a way that it's embedded into your work. Each time I finish a project, I must publish not just what was done, but write a little bit more, maybe a little blog, a little day to day blog of my feelings as the project was going on. What was the frustrating part, what was the difficult part? How happy was the customer with each of the phases of the project execution? Hoe quickly could I mobilize people around a crisis? When there's a deadline which you're about to miss, how quickly could I mobilize everyone by using say sms or something. How could I give demo's for the customer much better by using a combination of YouTube and blogging and Twitter and keep them in the loop about what is going on. So all of these are very good examples of the same stuff we have just talked about: mobile, sms, etc. within the company. So here I think the advantages are much greater because companies do have a bigger budget, the goal is productivity, profit, all that stuff. So here you can actually measure much more tightly what new media can do in an organisation.

Livingstone: Technology creates diversity
วีดีโอ
80%635 ดูThe big difference just in my lifetime is just the rapid progress of technology. It's only 40 years ago, if you wanted to phone America you had to book a call and it cost you about a half a week's wages. Now all over the world young people that can afford it have their iPhone, their BlackBerry, their computer. And it's a network of global communications which makes it difficult for dictatorships like the junta in Burma and so on. And what it is also allowing is that that young generation is picking and choosing what they like from different cultures. When I went to school I was told that one day the whole world would be lifted up to an Anglo-Saxon quality of life. Even the Americans. That's sort of arrogant. It's nonsense now. People are seeing the strength of different cultures. And there isn't going to be one predominant winner in this race. The winner will be when humanity accepts that the difference is attractive.

driven by mindset and technology
วีดีโอ
80%711 ดูThe end of the age of oil is perhaps a mindset. It's recognizing that... Oil, in a sense, is a very valuable commodity. I remember, when I was in university, at Stanford, back in the early 1970s, having a conversation with a colleague who is a graduate student of the physics department, and we both agreed... And this is before I even decided to go into the industry as a career. And we both agreed then that this stuff was far to valuable to be burning in automobiles the way we do. Just burning it up. Use it once, and it's gone. We were sort of amazed, because crude oil is such an amazing molecule, with so many uses and so much potential. Now, of course, one of the other things in 1973 or so, the time that some of the first oil shocks in the West with the Arab oil embargo... One of the other things about it then, was the world had 30 years supply of oil left. 1973. So, we thought: if there's only 30 years supply of oil left, then we absolutely shouldn't just be burning it up in cars and things. Well, here we are in 2011 and guess what? The world still has 30 years supply of oil left. And this is... It doesn't mean that we'll go on forever. We're back to the Peak Oil discussion. But it does mean that there's a lot of oil out there. And there's a lot of oil that can be produced with new technology, and it's really technology that drives the new development of new oil fields, and that's created this vast resource. There's a famous petroleum geologist who actually said: "Oil is first found in the mind of man." And today, we would say: "In the minds of men and women." But the point is, we think of it first. And we think of where it is, and the geology and understand it, and the oil was always there, just nobody imagined it. Deep waters are a great example. In the 1970s, and even the early '80s, nobody imagined that in water depths of greater than 1000 feet there were significant supplies of oil and gas. In fact, most petroleum geologists said: "It's not there." Just like at the turn of the century, from the 19th to the 20th century, and even into the early 20th century, most petroleum geologists said there was no oil in this... little oil in California, there was no oil in Alaska, there was probably little oil in the Middle East. You know, these things... You have to understand geology and how the Earth works. Now, I'm not saying that hidden somewhere out there in the world there's another big basin that will rival the Middle East in terms of supply. It's just that in the world there's a lot of oil still to be found. So, going back to this mindset and... The Stone Age didn't end for lack of stones, which, with the first person I know of, that said it was Sheikh Yamani, who was a Saudi oil minister in, I think, the '70s and '80s. And he was really speaking about oil as a commodity, and like most commodities, you never produce the last little bit. And you find... It is a mindset, but it's also technology. And for many reasons, whether it's driven by price, more often, in my mind, it's driven by utility. Not so much price, but utility. I can come back to that. The world moves on. The world moves on because actually there's a better way to do this. And, if I can, my favourite example of this, is salt. If you go back through ages of man, salt was, and lots of people talked about this, a very valuable commodity. Wars were fought over salt. It was a source of power for civilisations and for countries. Many words in today's, in the English language, come from that. Salary, comes from sal, salt. He's worth his salt. These are... Roman legionnaires were paid in salt. This is where the salt comes from, the sense that salt is a very valuable commodity. Why? Because it was used to preserve food. And if you were going to conquer the world, you needed to preserve food, so you could move your armies around and feed them, and conquer the world. This is great. But some time in the early 20th century salt didn't matter anymore, because somebody invented the refrigerator. And that was curious... Everybody knew how important salt was, but the people that invented refrigeration were not experts in salt. And they weren't out looking around on the ground for what can I find out here somewhere, that I can pound into meat instead of salt, that will preserve it as well or better, since my country doesn't have any salt. That wasn't what happened. People that invented refrigerators, I think, I don't know this for a fact, but I think they actually realized that if they ran a steam engine backward, it actually could be used to cool things. And it sort of all tumbled from there. And, of course, the steam engine, by the way, was invented not for locomotion. The steam engine was invented to pump water out of coal mines, so that coal in England could be produced more efficiently. So this is how it all goes, very interestingly. So here you can go back a couple of hundred years, and an invention that was originally created to improve coal production... Yeah, it does that, but what else does it do? Well, ultimately it means that salt isn't nearly so important anymore. Because now we have refrigerators. Now, this is... There are many important points here, about how technology developed. You can't predict what's going to happen. Nobody would have predicted that the guy that invented the steam engine might be actually responsible for improving how we store food. Not just meat, but vegetables and fruits and everything else.

finding correlations between queries
วีดีโอ
80%570 ดูBreaking the silos is very important. Because otherwise we are not solving the problem of really getting our arms around all of the data that is available. At least, let's start within an enterprise, before we even go outside an enterprise. Any big enterprise that you talk to, one of their biggest challenges is: how do they break the silos? With big data it has now become very possible for us, from a technology standpoint, to be able to pull our data from all of these sources. So that when a question is being asked or a query is being issued, it's not just being answered based on one set of repository, but by having the right connectors to different data sources, different applications, being able to pull the right information from all of these. And then aggregating these, you may get like seven different pieces of information from different data repositories or applications. But being able to then correlate all of them, a different fact may emerge, which if we were just answering these questions based on just one or two silos that we were looking at, this entire context may not be apparent at all. So I think breaking the silos is very important, which doesn't mean that all the data has to be moved around, but being able to. So there are a couple of ways, right? The federation: being able to run the query wherever the data resides, is important. But being able to pull the results of all of these queries together and analyse it, and see what is really the outcome here, or the information that has otherwise been dapped in say seven different silos, I think is what is possible now.

Re-incentivise virtues of uni-tasking and solitude
วีดีโอ
80%622 ดูIt is kind of like learning... I think there are two virtues that our culture does not reward us for, but that we need to learn to find an intrinsic a reward for, and the first is the virtues of solitude. Because I think there is a kind of solitude that refreshes and restores and that is at the basis of creativity, at the basis of healthy collaboration, that our culture of continual connection is teaching us to forget how to do. I think the virtues of doing one thing at a time, of really giving something our full attention, is something that, again, our culture of continual connection and technology of many windows is causing us to forget. And these two virtues are things that both in our personal and in our business life have high reward in the long run but are things we need to re-incentivise.

intelligence beyond human capacity?
วีดีโอ
80%672 ดูWhat is technology? A tool. That's all the word means. That's certainly the newer microchip driven version of technology that can get instant communication, and while the act is going on on CNN or BBC or Sky News or other television outlets. But it also means that the power of the microchip expanded at the quantum computing. It means that we can virtually carry the artificial intelligence with us. So we are growing the intelligences and the capabilities in technology, beyond the human capacity to deal with them. And that is a growing gap that John Petersen talks about often. And sometimes when that gap appears too wide, then humans have a way to destroy the technology. We've done it in the past. That's why technology that can give instant access to information everywhere, is a wonderful thing to empower. But if it awakens expectations like helium filled balloons of people, to achieve that instantly without the means whereby they can do so, because they either lack the capacities or the resources or the opportunity or the permission, means that you... We create huge expectation gaps, and it is in those expectation gaps that humans become vulnerable to demagogic kinds or messianic kinds of messages to escape humiliation. So the technology, as is true with everything, can be a boon to us in better health care and other aspects of it, but it can also be deadly if we don't understand its impact on culture. That's why I keep saying: Culture matters. And it matters more today than it did ever before.

I Yahoo, I Ebay, Googling and I-Go-To-Lakme
วีดีโอ
80%707 ดูIf you look at a lot of the brands that have been created in the last 4 or 5 years, from eBay and Yahoo, Amazon, or even Starbucks, they are all rooted in some form in the notion of experiences. What is even interesting is that the whole brand is being build through experience, and I always ask people, “What is Yahoo? What is Google?” People have a hard time answering that. You might say, “Google is for search and Yahoo is for e-mail”, or some might say, “Yahoo is about news”, and I think increasingly these companies are becoming verbs. You might say “I Yahoo, I Google”. So you are doing something with it, and it is fascinating to think about it that way. And in fact for a lot of companies, especially package goods companies, like we say, “I go to Amazon”. If you are a product company, you never say, “I go to Lakme”, because you think of Lakme as a product. And interestingly enough a company like Unilever is creating for example in India Lakme Salons, so what we are actually finding is that people are starting to say, “I go to Lakme”. It is very different, because if I am a marketing person, the traditional mould, my job as a product manager has been to sell products, more Lakme beauty products, and always thought in terms of “How many people will by my product?” So when they hear a customer saying, “I go to Lakme”, they say, “Go to Lakme, I would probably just say, ‘I buy Lakme'. Big difference, right? Managers there tell me, just a simple thing like that, it is very different. It is starting with I being the consumer saying, “I go here when I want something done, like I want to look beautiful myself for a special occasion, so I go here”. And what I expect on that occasion maybe different from another. I think the challenge here is to identify these patterns of experiences, but that is also a function of what you can facilitate, because it is not static. As companies can use both technology and human competencies and create away, they are going to create new experiences and if they can engage consumers, I actually think there are infinite opportunities here. If you take this model, every company has a huge amount of opportunities.

Jensen: The Dream Society - last cultural shift
วีดีโอ
81%633 ดูIf you take the long view, then the experts are telling us that the Homo sapiens, our species, has been around for 100,000 years. Perhaps a bit more. For 99.999 percent of the time, it has been a brutish struggle to survive. Simply survive. To get enough food. Are you sure you will ever have a meal tomorrow? Are you sure you have a meal next week? This is more or less the first generation that could say: No problem, we will have something to eat next year. And tomorrow.It has always been possible for kings and queens and noblemen, but now for the average person it has become possible. So we have lefty this situation where there would be not enough food, not enough shelter. This has been the human condition for so long. Thanks to technology this is no longer the main problem. So we can turn to the emotional aspect of life. And this means that the Dream Society, the Experience Economy, will last forever, as I see it. Because we won't go back.Maybe in the future you will become a farmer, but you don't depend on it. For example, if the crops don't grow, you have other options, because we have this Experience Economy. But then of course, we will make new eras. Historians always do that. Futurists always do that. So perhaps we will have one period that says� we must be controlled'. That would be one era, instead of the industrial era, the control era. The adventure era, the love era, love and romance era, the freedom era. I think that would be the way to divide time in the future.

Effectively using data as competitive advantage
วีดีโอ
80%841 ดูOne thing that's clear is that companies that know how to make use of their data effectively are going to be the ones that are going to have a very strong competitive advantage. So I think increasingly essentially it will be almost like a minimum requirement in order to compete that you need to corner and make most of the data you have. So in addition the people who are going to benefit from this also are companies that enable this. There are at the lowest levels the guys that provide the infrastructure, the database technology, the kind of new, NoSQL, those types of technologies for harnessing the data, and then the companies who help extract the information from that. And of course we like to think we're in that position where we are part of the companies who help other companies extract real value from their data and know how to deal with large volume and big data phenomena, but how to apply sophisticated machine-learning type technologies to really get to the signals of that. Now, as to the bigger picture, I think if you look at, say, governments and countries as well, the same I think that applies for companies also applies for governments and social structures. Governments that harness their internal data about their people who can maybe use that to direct policy, to direct things like education, who can effectively make use of the data they have about their country just as companies can do I think should also have a competitive advantage on the global market of countries.

Khanna: Technology will never control us
วีดีโอ
80%557 ดูIn the school of thought that says that technology will ultimately control us, there are two points of view. One is that it's already numbing us and dumbing us, and therefore in a way it already dictates and shapes the way we act. Some people say we’re getting stupid, our brains are being rewired in bad ways. We’re becoming too passive and things like that. Our physical relationships, our ability to concentrate, all of these things are deteriorating as a result of technology. The second school of thought is much more radical and futuristic. The sort of singularity approach that says that by the year 2050 or at some point in the future machines will be as competent and smart as man and therefore we don't know what the future will look like, because they may take over. They may put us in the zoo, you know. Those are two kinds of views on that. I don't think that's necessarily the case at all. I think that at every step along this way, whether it’s every six months or every year, we're not even measuring in terms of time but measuring in terms of technologies and innovations that appear, we're constantly thinking about: Are we harnessing it or is it harnessing us? This is an iterative process. We're not jumping from now to the singularity. I believe there will be many controls along the way. There will be many successes and failures in experimenting with managing technologies, and as a result I don’t believe that we're ever going to reach a situation where it controls us. I don’t think that will ever happen.

Twitter implant - too disruptive to become reality
วีดีโอ
80%649 ดูI think the most uncanny product that would be very disruptive and I think will never be implemented because it's too disruptive and it's not a humane technology is the Twitter Implant, because the Twitter Implant is an implant that you get for free from your health insurance, so your health insurance pays you to get this Twitter Implant. It's a little tooth, it replaces a wisdom tooth that's taken out and the implant is put in, and it twitters everything that happens in your body. So when my heart rate goes up, it gets twittered. This could be a good thing, because then my doctor could see, oh, there's something happening there, you should pay me a visit. But also, when I smoke a cigarette, then it also gets twittered. And of course my health insurance will get more expensive then. That's the business model, that’s how it's presented. And that's an example of a technology that will be disruptive. Some people will like it, because they'll say: I have a healthy lifestyle and I don't want to pay for people who don’t have a healthy lifestyle. But in the end I think it's too intimate. It's too much breaching the borders of your personal body that you share everything that happens in your body with your health insurance. So I think that's a technology and an example of a product that we have here in the supermarket, and it's interesting as a scenario, to think about and to discuss, but I think it will not be implemented. I hope not. At least not in this way.

Postma: The role of ICT in Africa
วีดีโอ
80%746 ดูOn the one hand we see, for example, a lot of sustainable energy being implemented in Africa. So only 18 per cent of the people in Africa have access to electricity, while the continent itself harvests enough energy to service the whole world. Whether it's bio-mass, geothermic, solar, wind, so there is a lot of energy on the continent. It just can't be transformed to power yet. That demands a tremendous investment. But, for example, when mobiles are being rolled out into rural areas, you have these big antennas being placed out in the desert, and they usually use a diesel generator. Diesel is expensive, people need to drive out into the rural areas filling up the generators, that's not very efficient, and the diesel gets stolen, of course. So what you see in the roll out, for example, of mobile telephony is that more and more of these antennas are being placed and they are totally serviced by, for example, solar power and wind power. So on one thing I think the continent is leapfrogging into, for example, sustainable technologies. Another one is, for example, Wi-MAX. Wi-MAX is the successor of Wi-Fi for very long distances. In Europe it's very difficult because it tends to interfere with emergency frequencies, television and radio. But since Africa is very greenfield in that Wi-MAX finds a more easy ground of adoption and roll out than in the west for example. So there is definitely an Africa which leapfrogs into these new kinds of technology. But on the other hand they just also need to be connected to the western economy in the western societies. So what you see, the reason why Africa is such a black hole in this satellite map by night is that there's no wiring in or around Africa. So a few of the northern countries make use of a Mediterranean pipeline, which is on the bottom of the sea, mostly connecting Europe to the Middle-East. But as we speak there are three enormous boats floating around Africa, preparing a full circle wiring across the continent. So there are three, what you call, transatlantic pipelines or submarine cablings being laid out across the continent. And this is a tremendous breakthrough for Africa, because it will mean that from, I think, eight countries right now about 32 of the 54 countries will have direct access to the big fat pipe which is connecting the rest of the world. This is a Pan-African initiative, meaning that the other countries which are landlocked - they have no access to sea - have made agreements and also invest in this cabling. So we could say that by 2010 the whole continent of Africa has direct access to the global network. And I think that is a tremendous breakthrough. And there's a very natural deadline behind this. And that's the World Championships of Soccer, which is like what the Olympics were for China, but then it's now the World Championships of Soccer for Africa. Because there is a lot of news and images which need to be transmitted to the rest of the world and it's going to be their show case. So I think there's a very natural deadline for this infrastructure to be ready by 2010. If you make a phone call now from South Africa to Namibia, for example, it's connected all the way via New York or London or, for example, Paris, which is costing a lot of money, which is very bad quality. You now see an infrastructure emerging where you have direct access between the countries on the continent and also the first African satellite has been launched very recently. So up till now they just had a satellite scheme like: between 9 and 9.10 we could use that French satellite, and from 9.30 till 10.30 we could use the American satellite. Because none of the satellites was really focused on the continent. So they used a little of the waste bandwidth. But now they have their own Rascom African satellite which will help to boost the Pan-African communication, lower the costs and provide access to the rural areas. I think that is important, because in Africa we have this modern sector and this informal, traditional sector, and that's where the real economic growth needs to take place. And that's what's interesting about mobile telephony, for example, and mobiles which is the big roll out of ICT as we speak. It's not just for the city, but mobile telephony helps farmers, rural areas to grow and their economic potential.

I call this the first dynamic social science of the 21st century because to the best of my knowledge – I could be wrong, but to the best of my knowledge – I don’t think there have been any new academic fields that have been initiated in ten years. But it’s dynamic because it is inherently collaborative and interactive. So the good thing, among many, that the mobile phone has done, is it has helped, it’s beginning to erode the classical concept of the ivory tower where you have the big university which, at least in the United States model, you have the chancellor or the president and then you have the provost and then you have all of the different schools. Well, each of the schools is an ivory tower that operates essentially as an independent company within the structure of the greater corporation and they each have their own budgets and they have their own staffs and they have their own concerns, and nobody talks to anybody and they’re all very protective of their boundaries and their walls because they need to do what they need to do. The advent of the mobile phone has made it possible for a professor in the psychology department who wants to be researching something about behaviour that may relate to entertainment to just pick up a phone. And they dial, and through the airwaves, through the world, through the magic of technology, and I mean that in the best possible way, you pick up a phone and you call somebody in another department and you start talking and you start collaborating and you find that there are possibilities, not only for collaboration but for innovation. And this innovation defies the boundaries of the buildings that they’re in and it’s really wreaking havoc in the best possible way with the university structure, and I like this. I like to see a new paradigm because the old one no longer works in this world.

SANGKALIKASAN Reef Restoration
วีดีโอ
80%806 ดูIn their effort to enhance competitiveness of underwater tourism industry and improve productivity of coral resources, the Sangkalikasan Cooperative together with Department of Science and Technology conducted a coral transplantation workshop at Grande Island last August 13-14. The group is known for their expertise in restoring coral reefs in areas like Boracay, Zaboanga, Camiguin among others. The workshop was a crash course on how the group conducts the transplantation. Several representatives from private companies and organizations participated together with representatives from SBMA. Subic Bay may never be known as a leisure dive destination. Although it is famous for its wreck sites for the more advanced and technical divers. And though it may never match the quality of the reefs of Anilao in Batangas and the hundreds of other dive sites in the country, we believe that Subic Bay can be known to be one of the successful Reef Restoration projects in the country. If there is one thing that we know we have, that is we have committed citizens who will do what we can to make this world a better place. We salute our friends from Sangkalikasan for their dedication and thank you for sharing this wonderful discovery. You guys have definitely inspired us! For more information on how you can be a volunteer in this Reef Restoration project, please contact us at savemybay@lighthousesubic.com #ICCPH #ICCZambales
