Human beings have always had a complex relationship with technology. While technology allows for new capabilities, it is ultimately created by and reflects humanity. This document discusses how technology has developed over time, from early predictions that machines could one day dominate the world, to the idea that technology is not separate from humans but rather an extension of ourselves, and that embracing technology means embracing our own nature. It also notes how media and technology can impact our identities, sense of belonging, emotions, and social structures.
What happens when the web2.0 architecture of participation meets the marginalised? What are the trends in web-enabled social innovation, and how can we encourage them.
Truly great collaboration partnerships don’t happen every day - or even every year. This Arkadin infographic looks at a century of great collaboration stories.
Even on multi-decade timescales, truly earth-shaking collaborations only pop up every decade or two. But when they do, they’re easy to recognise.
They involve big challenges, with the fate of nations and industries at their mercy. Perfect planning, with pin-sharp focus on strategy and strengths leading to extraordinary outcomes, changing the lives of billions.
The partnerships below aren’t the only ones, but they’re among the greatest. Collaborative technology - from transatlantic telegraphs to broadband conferencing and presence - played its role in every one.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

He may have had a laser in his watch and a radio in his lighter, but even James Bond didn't sport gadgets tattooed to his skin. Now he could, thanks to the development of ultrathin electronics that can be placed on the skin as easily as a temporary tattoo. The researchers hope the new devices will pave the way for sensors that monitor heart and brain activity without bulky equipment, or perhaps computers that operate via the subtlest voice commands or body movement.

In a significant advance for brain-machine interfaces, engineers at Brown University have developed a novel wireless, broadband, rechargeable, fully implantable brain sensor that has performed well in animal models for more than a year. They describe the result in theJournal of Neural Engineeringand at a conference this week.

Brain-computer interfaces that can translate thoughts into actions will change how stroke patients, paraplegics and other people with limited mobility interact with their surroundings. But so far, these devices have involved bulky corded equipment inside research labs, requiring patients to be tethered to a computer. Now researchers at Brown University have built the first wireless version. Like a cellphone embedded in the brain, their new implantable brain sensor can relay broadband signals in real time from up to 100 neurons.

Russo released a statement after the picture went viral claiming the photograph was not an unretouched image of Crawford, telling ABC News it was a “fraudulent altered version" of his photograph.
Crawford refused to comment publicly on the image after it was released, a decision affected by the positive reaction it garnered from women across the globe.
“It was stolen and it was malicious,” said Crawford, “but there was so much positive reaction [to the image]. Sometimes, the images that women see in magazines make them feel inferior—even though the intention is never to make anyone feel less. So somehow seeing a picture of me was like seeing a chink in the armour.
“Whether it was real or not isn’t relevant, although it’s relevant to me. I don’t try to present myself as perfect. It put me in a tough spot: I couldn’t come out against it because I’m rejecting all these people who felt good about it, but I also didn’t embrace it because it wasn’t real—and even if it were real, I wouldn’t have wanted it out there. I felt really manipulated and conflicted, so I kept my mouth shut.”

The Poe story explores what happens when we are made of media (hinting at perfection), the Data emotion chip explores what is human about humanity (hinting at imperfection). These examples also suggest that we associate ‘perfection’ with technologies and machines. Is this why expect them to (always) work? Do we copy/paste these expectations onto each other and the world we live (think about: nanotechnologies, bio-engineering)?
