Notes on slide 1

We built great Cathedrals of knowledge. We built schools where we discipline our children into submission, and acceptance of settled knowledge unquestioningly.

The steady state of change cannot be achieved anymore

Our widening gap of ignorance is a threat to the understanding of the world. Once it mattered for things far out, today it matters for things of everyday application.

Sousveillance societies cannot exercise control without the democratizing effects of knowledge spreading out to every segment of the population.

Where is our attention? Our attention economy is prizing the instant gratification, but also enabling the instant expression and communication

Our consciousness spreads out from our brain and bodies to touch others, and leaving its imprint on our world defines the interactions with the physical objects around us.

What we used to define the brain and our consciousness is changed since we can now easily observe manifestations of actions which are not directly executed by traditional bodies and traditional minds.

Life streaming services have become pervasive in just a few years. It is normal to start to talk about not only people, but our bodies, and our objects to constantly communicate.

Information once thought extremely personal, like location, political affiliation, religious thoughts, are now broadcasted widely.

WideTag dalla sua nascita ha partecipato a livello mondiale alle attivit� di costruzione e di realizzazione della Internet degli Oggetti, con un forte thought leadership.

We can now embrace the entire planet in a single glance, and listen to the heartbeat of the population of continents. The emotions of millions of people are reverberating on actions that are summarized and visualized to us in any moment.

We are ready to go ahead, and give the tools that redefine life itself, and its purpose to our kids.

And finally we are starting to understand that the access to the knowledge that has been accumulated in the world is not there to serve a single corporate purpose, but has to be accessible by everybody.

Through novel tools like Wolfram Alpha we can include previously inaccessible calculations in the everyday tools we use.

New institutions like the Singularity University stand up to the challenge of complexity, and interdisciplinary approach to understand the impact of accelerating change on society.

The consciousness panopticon serves to maintain the direction of the evolution of the global brain

As we understand the importance of studying the colliding web sciences in a formal manner, we equip ourselves with the tools to analyze how the gloabl brain works, and its impact.

The unit of knowledge. Contrary to bits, and bytes, the units of information, the Plato is not linked the concepts of entropy, and the physical evolution of the universe, but to its memetic future.
