Social networking has grown exponentially since 1995 and now has over 40 million active users. Daniel Anstandig and Rockie Thomas from McVay New Media gave a presentation to Albright & O'Malley clients on how social networking has become the new radio, providing a brief history of its rise and best practices for using social networking platforms effectively. While early social networking site Classmates.com missed opportunities for growth, modern platforms embrace open sharing and offer value to both paying and non-paying users.
BBC Three was chosen as the channel to broadcast the documentary because its target audience is 16-34 year olds and it focuses on providing innovative content for younger viewers. BBC Three airs from 7pm to 5am and was launched in 2003 to appeal to younger audiences. The documentary "Underage and Protected" focuses on an issue affecting many teenagers, so BBC Three seemed like the right choice as it broadcasts similar shows exploring the lives of young adults. The documentary will air at 10pm when most teenagers are expected to be watching based on research. BBC Three has previously aired documentaries on similar topics that appeal to the same target audience.

Abstract: When it comes to electric vehicles (EVs), Oregon has all the right ingredients: the Governor's support, the necessary infrastructure and investment by major manufacturers; but is that enough to ensure success? George Beard, Portland State University's conduit to Portland General Electric (PGE) and other EV partners, will provide a briefing on the status of EV deployment and adoption in Oregon. His talk will examine remaining barriers to EV adoption and the conditions in which key parties can overcome them. Can the professionals who are working on EVs, including planners and engineers, have any impact on the most important measure of success: consumer acceptance? Sit down, plug in, and find out!
This document summarizes key Canadian court cases regarding technology and copyright law. Recent decisions found that downloading a video game is not a communication but obtaining a copy, that on-demand music streams are communications to the public, and that previewing music could be considered fair dealing. Network personal video recorders were found to involve the broadcaster in copying. Links alone do not constitute publication, and copyright reform aims to address exceptions for formats like user-generated content.

This document discusses different types of consonant sounds in language. It describes trills, liquids like l and r, approximants like j and w, and retroflex consonants. It also explains that sounds are often grouped based on similar manner or place of articulation, with larger groupings including obstruents (stops, fricatives, affricates) and sonorants (nasals, liquids). Non-pulmonic sounds like clicks are also briefly mentioned.
Gender and class grouping systems categorize nouns in languages. Some languages have natural gender systems like English that group nouns as masculine, feminine or neutral. Dyirbal, an Australian Aboriginal language, has a more complex 4 class noun system. The class a noun belongs to determines the pronoun used to refer to it. Traditionally, Class 1 was for male things, Class 2 for dangerous females and items, Class 3 for edible plants, and Class 4 for inanimate objects. Younger speakers of Dyirbal now have a simplified 2 class system of male versus everything else.
Traditionally our technology has spoken for us, but these days the products have become so sophisticated that the technology is becoming imperceptible. With that step; our roles in them, the careers they present and the business opportunities all diminish. Out of sight is out of mind; and out of mind is de-prioritised.

Technology has significantly changed society through advances like computers, the internet, and mobile phones. It has made communication nearly instantaneous around the world and allows us to access information instantly. While technology has improved lives by making tasks easier and connecting people, it also has disadvantages like addiction to devices and potential job loss to automation. The development of machines like robots indicates that technology will continue advancing and may open new possibilities in the future through discoveries and new industries.
Publicsphere 1 - High Bandwidth for Australia - The Unexplored CountryCraig Thomler
The document discusses the history of innovations in communications technology and predictions made about their potential. It notes how rockets, computers, phones, and the internet have developed over time. The document argues that high-speed broadband internet could enable new applications and transform industries like media, tourism, and healthcare by allowing data sharing and remote access to services. However, many innovations are difficult to predict, as shown by past skeptical quotes about technologies like radio and computers.
"In the XIX century there were no televisions, aeroplanes, computers, or spacecraft; neither were there antibiotics, credit cards, microwave ovens, compact discs, or mobile phones. There was, however, an Internet."
-- Tom Standage
Here is a speech I gave at a While42 Singapore event (cool French engineers alumni network)
The document discusses the invention of the telephone and how it revolutionized communication. It begins by describing communication methods prior to the telephone, such as postal mail and telegraph. It then outlines Alexander Graham Bell's development of the first telephone in 1876 while working at a school for the deaf. The telephone allowed for real-time conversations over long distances, changing how people interacted. While the telegraph was fast, it could only transmit short messages, but the telephone enabled full conversations. The invention of the telephone transformed global communication.
Tyrannosaurus was one of the largest land predators to ever live, growing up to 40 feet long. As the apex predator of its time in the late Cretaceous Period, Tyrannosaurus reigned as the king of the dinosaurs. Despite its immense size, Tyrannosaurus could run at speeds of up to 12 miles per hour and had massive jaws filled with serrated teeth that allowed it to tear through the flesh of its prey with ease.

Master II livello formas tema 1 academic vs health system driven researchFabrizio Gemmi
Academic research is driven by discovery and contamination across disciplines, while health systems must consider sustainability and value. Innovation arises unpredictably from new findings but is costly, and evolution progresses inefficiently over long timescales. Both research and healthcare delivery require balancing immediate needs, future generations, and openness to unexpected breakthroughs from diverse fields of study.
The document discusses Los Angeles' energy history from 1857 to 1957, highlighting the alternative energy technologies that existed even early on but were not fully adopted. It notes that in 1857, human and animal labor as well as wind and sun provided energy, while by 1907 coal, manufactured gas, oil, and natural gas were used alongside other technologies like electric railways and solar hot water heaters. It argues that choices between technologies are often marginal and that both old and new technologies can coexist, providing examples like the debate between wave and airplane technologies in the early 1900s. The document suggests that technological changes result from people and organizations, not an inevitable process, and that the dominance of automobiles over electric railways in Los Angeles resulted
This document discusses the history of energy technologies in Los Angeles from 1857 to 1957. It highlights how in the late 19th/early 20th century, the city utilized a variety of energy sources including human, animal, wind, solar, and early electric technologies powered by coal, gas and hydroelectric power. It then discusses how oil and gas became dominant in the early 20th century, and how nuclear power first provided electricity to the Los Angeles power grid in 1957. The document argues that choices between technologies are often marginal, and that both new and old technologies can coexist for a time.

This document discusses the complex relationship between technology and nature. It argues that while technology provides access to nature, it also distances people from nature by making life more convenient. This can lessen emotional attachment to the land and environment. Quotes from experts like Aldo Leopold illustrate concerns that an obsession with economic growth and comforts from technology may undermine appreciation for the natural world. There is an uneasy relationship between caring for nature and advancing technologies.
Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1874 while working as a teacher for deaf children in Boston. He received a patent for the telephone in 1876. The first phone call was made on March 10, 1876 between Bell and his assistant Thomas Watson. The telephone rapidly evolved from the initial liquid transmitter to include new technologies like the dial phone, mobile phones, and smartphones. The invention of the telephone transformed society by allowing people to easily communicate over long distances and stay connected to distant friends and family.
This document discusses policies to foster investment and accelerate deployment of next generation access (NGA) networks. It provides an overview of the very high speed broadband market, broadband policies and local authority intervention in France. It also discusses NGA policies, regulation, and public-private initiatives. The key points are that local authorities have played a crucial role in broadband expansion in France; open wireline backhaul networks are important for handling traffic growth; and a combination of legislative, regulatory, and public policy levers can be used in Europe to encourage NGA investment and competition through infrastructure sharing while addressing economic and operational concerns.
1) A small computer services company investigated opportunities for sub loop unbundling (SLU) in rural areas starting with the smallest county in the UK, Rutland. SLU involves deploying infrastructure to bypass part of BT's local loop network to increase broadband speeds for rural customers.
2) SLU provides opportunities to service rural customers with higher broadband speeds by deploying cabinets and backhaul infrastructure near primary connection points. However, capital costs are highly variable and achieving economies of scale is challenging with low customer densities.
3) An initial trial of SLU in the village of Lyddington, located 5km from the telephone exchange, successfully increased broadband speeds from 0.3Mbps to 12-15Mb

Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

6. What, sir, would you make a ship sail
against the wind and currents by
lighting a bonfire under her deck? I
pray you, excuse me, I have not the
time to listen to such nonsense.
Napoleon Bonaparte, 1800
7. Rail travel at high speeds is not
possible because passengers, unable
to breathe, would die of asphyxia.
Dionysius Lardner, Professor of Natural Philosophy
and Astronomy at University College, London, and
author of “The Steam Engine Explained and
Illustrated”, 1830
8. Well-informed people know it is
impossible to transmit the voice over
wires and that were it possible to do
so, the thing would be of no practical
value.
Boston Post, 1865
9. This "telephone" has too many
shortcomings to be seriously
considered as a means of
communication. The device is
inherently of no value to us.
Western Union Co. internal memo, 1876
10. The Americans have need of the
telephone, but we do not. We have
plenty of messenger boys.
Sir William Preece, Chief Engineer, British Post
Office, 1878
11. Everything that can be invented has
been invented.
Charles H. Duell, Commissioner, U.S. Office of
Patents, 1899

15. Expedient choices, dire consequences
“I told Mike he'd have to decide between them. It was up to
him - The Beatles or Brian Poole and the Tremeloes. He
said, 'They're both good, but one's a local group, the other
comes from Liverpool.' We decided it was better to take the
local group. We could work with them more easily and stay
closer in touch as they came from Dagenham.”
Dick Rowe, head of A&R, Decca Records
“We don’t like their sound. We don’t think they will do
anything in their market. Guitar groups are on the way out.”
Beatles’ rejection letter from Decca Records
22. “When our leaders were contemplating the rollout of electricity in
the 19th century, few would have foreseen the profound impact it
has had on our economy over the past 150 years. When, in 1894,
most of Melbourne's streets were brightened by electricity from
Australia's first power station, few could have known the full
extent of innovation that would follow. Since then we have seen
the advent of refrigeration, automated production lines and
electronic media. New industries have flourished and services
have improved standards of living across the country. We live in a
society where every function and process has been shaped in
some way by electricity. It has driven new market efficiencies,
productivity and jobs. This technology has fundamentally
changed Australia. For this we can thank the vision of previous
Governments - Governments that ensured that Australia kept
pace with the world and we reaped the rewards. Our past leaders
ensured we have had access to enabling technology, offering
opportunity beyond their original intentions.”
Stephen Conroy
Australian Minister for Broadband,
Communications and the Digital Economy, April 2009
23. Decisions, decisions…
• How to incentivise stakeholders to invest?
• Can this even be achieved in the current
market context?
• Where will the liquidity come from?
• How can we quantify the impacts of
innovations which haven’t occurred yet?
• Is it enough just to believe?
24. • We can’t know the answers to some of these
questions – the option value of symmetrical
fiber is hard to calculate prospectively, but
much easier in retrospect.
• Conversely, it’s easy to demonstrate a lack of
utility for something which is not available.
• Many world-changing innovations would not
have occurred if sceptics’ views had prevailed.
• Connectivity policy is not enough – it must be
part of joined-up thinking around economic
and social policy.
