The document is a presentation that discusses several topics related to technology and its impact on society. It contains quotes on the evolution of civilization and the infinite being unknowable. It also discusses challenges in creating emergent software, the importance of charting how technology environments evolve, and ensuring online content remains timely and relevant. The presentation concludes by suggesting ways to aggregate real-time information and transition semantic channels while remembering technology brings both gifts and drawbacks.

2. “ Civilization advances
by extending the
number of important
operations which we
can perform without
thinking of them. ”
—Alfred North Whitehead

3. All that we know of God is that which we see in
ourselves.
· If you wish to consider yourself a computational creative
capable of coming up with interesting work.
· Money is a consequence of attention, not the other way
round.
· Manuel Castells describes the physical properties of a
network as such, "A network is a set of interconnected
nodes.
· In short, it is the metaphor that enables us to feel at
ease with these extraterrestrial, complex environments.

4. In each of us there is a little of all of us
Disintermediate extensible e-services

5. We lose the certain things, while we seek the
uncertain ones.
· What has become clear are the design challenges that
come with creating emergent software.
· Playlouder in the UK has a similar model of bundled, all-
you-can-eat access.
· Which served as the tag-line of Microsoft's first global
image advertising campaign.
· It is important to chart the evolution of such an
environment and question what sort of habitat it
provides for modern life to flourish.

6. “ In software systems it
is often the early bird
that makes the worm. ”
—Alan Perlis

7. That the infinite is unknowable gives us the
blessing of eternal wonder.
· Make your tweets timely, succinct, unique and relevant.
· Technology... is a queer thing. It brings you great gifts
with one hand, and it stabs you in the back with the
other.
· Most of the future value may just be around the content,
not just in the content.
· A 'life' that requires us to understand a new ontology
between human and non-human agents.

8. In conclusion
· Aggregate real-time niches
· Exploit social architectures
· Transition semantic channels
· and remember: Because of your melodic nature, the
moonlight never misses an appointment
