“ Our technological powers increase, but the side effects and potential hazards also escalate. ” —Alvin Toffler
You love someone, not for what they are, but for what you are when you are with them · The latter, in the digital age, is post-industrial and automated. · Leaders have to act more quickly today. The pressure comes much faster. · What has become clear are the design challenges that come with creating emergent software. · So, in this case each post becomes a node of your identity, which is shared with the entirety of the social network.
Nothings sucks like an Electrolux Syndicate dynamic content
Reading books removes sorrows from the heart. · We, the users, need this more than ever and we will pay you to filter for, with and even through us! · There is a rich ecology of mutually successful players. · The only protection you have is in the business model. · They ask the questions humans typically fail to ask.
“ Technology is making gestures precise and brutal, and with them men. ” —Theodor Adorno
"Skim milk does not come from skinny cows" · This doesn't mean you shouldn't experiment with great algorithms. · It's all about the packaging! In terms of future sales, think Freemium, and think access not just copy. · If you're controlling a scarce resource, like the prime- time broadcast schedule, you have to be discriminating. · This data is willingly and sometimes unwillingly accumulated, stored and visualised.
In conclusion · Enable AJAX-enabled architectures · Remix long-tail metrics · Scale holistic partnerships · and remember: Even a clock that is not going is right twice a day.

  • 2. “ Our technological powers increase, but the side effects and potential hazards also escalate. ” —Alvin Toffler
  • 3.

  • 4. Nothings sucks like an Electrolux Syndicate dynamic content
  • 5. Reading books removes sorrows from the heart. · We, the users, need this more than ever and we will pay you to filter for, with and even through us! · There is a rich ecology of mutually successful players. · The only protection you have is in the business model. · They ask the questions humans typically fail to ask.
  • 6. “ Technology is making gestures precise and brutal, and with them men. ” —Theodor Adorno
