The document discusses trends in how people consume, work, and learn skills. It focuses on the rise of sharing economies, DIY cultures, and collaborative communities centered around makerspaces, hackerspaces, and coworking spaces. The document advocates for creating an environment in Latin America that fosters entrepreneurship through role models, funding, infrastructure, talent, and a culture that embraces failure while also drawing on regional cultural strengths.

Without Resilience, Nothing Else Matters

Jonas Bonér

It doesn’t matter how beautiful, loosely coupled, scalable, highly concurrent, non-blocking, responsive and performant your application is—if it isn't running, then it's 100% useless. Without resilience, nothing else matters. Most developers understand what the word resilience means, at least superficially, but way too many lack a deeper understanding of what it really means in the context of the system that they are working on now. I find it really sad to see, since understanding and managing failure is more important today than ever. Outages are incredibly costly—for many definitions of cost—and can sometimes take down whole businesses. In this talk we will explore the essence of resilience. What does it really mean? What is its mechanics and characterizing traits? How do other sciences and industries manage it, and what can we learn from that? We will see that everything hints at the same conclusion; that failure is inevitable and needs to be embraced, and that resilience is by design.

The document summarizes key points from a presentation on grassroots innovations in India. It discusses (1) how the Honey Bee Network was founded in 1987-1988 to connect innovators and traditional knowledge holders in India, (2) examples of innovations scouted by the Network that have been patented or supported for commercialization, and (3) emerging models of innovation like learning from disadvantaged groups, empathetic design, and linking art/culture/technology. It encourages readers to join the Network to support rewarding indigenous creativity.

Future of Abundance D360

Kerry Maguire

The document discusses the future of abundance in an age of exponential disruption. It argues that advances in technology have driven costs down exponentially, powering growth in performance and adoption. Two fundamental laws - the law of accelerating returns and Moore's law - fuel an exponential tsunami of change. This creates opportunities to leverage exponential technologies to solve problems on a large scale at low cost. The document envisions a future where social experiments involving uncommon partnerships, unexpected tangents, and unconventional hypotheses can help shape an abundant future for humanity. It calls on citizens, companies, academics and governments to mobilize and act as builders of this future.

Kids can be incredibly creative and inventive – and some even see their big ideas develop into astounding business opportunities as well. The following ten children turned their frustrations, mistakes and strokes of luck and brilliance into commercial successes, businesses and even life-long careers. Their stories are sure to inspire anyone going into the business world, where ingenuity and imagination are often a bonus, if not a must. Kids came up with these great inventions, conceiving everything from earmuffs to Popsicles.

#Educamp 2014: TED für Lehrer

Wolfgang Weicht

The document provides an extensive list of TED Talk titles covering a wide range of topics from climate change and sustainability to technology, science, design, and more. It encourages the use of TED Talks in education by suggesting watching videos for classroom use, organizing one's own TEDx conference, hosting TEDx events for youth, integrating TED-Ed lessons regularly into classes, and using translation features for alternative English instruction. The document stresses that there is more to explore on the TED website and through contacting local TEDx organizers.

EXPONENTIAL CYCLE OF ABUNDANCE

Lala Deheinzelin

The document discusses the concept of an "exponential cycle of abundance" and the transition from an economy based on scarcity of tangible resources to one based on abundance of intangible resources. It argues that new technologies and a focus on collaboration, creativity and culture are enabling an exponential growth model driven by infinite and renewable intangible assets. The future involves distributed, networked processes and a multidimensional concept of wealth beyond just financial measures. Creating creative and collaborative communities can harness these forces by connecting local assets and sharing knowledge through technology.

Virtual identities, Real People

Cynthia Calongne

This document discusses virtual identities and how people define themselves online through various platforms. It provides examples of the speaker's own virtual identities over decades, from MUDs and MOOs to Second Life. The speaker discusses choosing an avatar identity and appearance, and how virtual worlds allow people to model both ideal and real selves. Potential pitfalls of virtual identities like identity theft are also addressed.

Vince Ghossoub

The document describes several futuristic technologies including the Experience Room, Kids2Kids Platform, and GlideFace. The Experience Room allows virtual transportation to different locations using one's senses. The Kids2Kids Platform is used for a learning program between students in Brazil and Ryan where they collaborate on projects. GlideFace is a sophisticated device that allows walking in any direction virtually by measuring foot movements and morphing the environment accordingly.

S D R I N Summit

Olusola Amusan

This document discusses the need for active participation in development through information and communication technology (ICT). It uses Singapore as an example of a former third world nation that became highly developed through committed leadership and a people's supportiveness. Some key points made include: - Singapore transformed from a tiny nation with no natural resources to a thriving metropolis through revolutionary leadership and nation building. - Individuals and organizations must arise and apply their ICT knowledge to improve lives and communities in Nigeria. - Strategies for empowerment, education, excellence, and active participation through ICT ventures are needed to drive Nigeria's development.

Colonialism and globalization of africa by richard close copy

Chrysalis Campaign, Inc.

Colonialism and globalization have impacted Africa in complex ways. Colonialism involved political, military, economic, and cultural control by colonizing powers. It led to oppression, corruption, and exploitation of resources. Globalization continues colonialism's economic impacts through multinational corporations controlling industries and profits. However, new technologies also enable collaboration and more equitable distribution of knowledge, resources and power. Addressing colonialism's legacy and promoting ethical globalization, human rights, and local empowerment could help transform Africa's future.

Why Psychological Safety Matters for Software Teams - ACE 2024 - Ben Linders.pdf

Ben Linders

Psychological safety in teams is important; team members must feel safe and able to communicate and collaborate effectively to deliver value. It’s also necessary to build long-lasting teams since things will happen and relationships will be strained. But, how safe is a team? How can we determine if there are any factors that make the team unsafe or have an impact on the team’s culture? In this mini-workshop, we’ll play games for psychological safety and team culture utilizing a deck of coaching cards, The Psychological Safety Cards. We will learn how to use gamification to gain a better understanding of what’s going on in teams. Individuals share what they have learned from working in teams, what has impacted the team’s safety and culture, and what has led to positive change. Different game formats will be played in groups in parallel. Examples are an ice-breaker to get people talking about psychological safety, a constellation where people take positions about aspects of psychological safety in their team or organization, and collaborative card games where people work together to create an environment that fosters psychological safety.
