PAINSQUAD
• Pain Squad is a “mobile
game” designed to help
kids fight cancer better
by providing the patients
with purpose and the
researchers with data.

PAINSQUAD
• In 2007, cancer was the
cause of 13% of all human
deaths (or 7.9M people).
Fighting cancer is not only
painful, it could be lonely
and full of despair

PAINSQUAD
• To better treat children
patients, doctors need
patients to keep a “pain
journal” everyday to see
what is working and
what is not.

PAINSQUAD
• However, kids are
generally too tired to
keep a journal and only
record data occasionally,
which makes the data
completely useless.

PAINSQUAD
• Toronto-based company
Cundari created a role-playing
cop game with missions and
rewards, as well as police
encouragement videos to
motivate these children to log
their pains twice a day for 2
weeks.

PAINSQUAD
• Turns out, this game not
only provided doctors with
all the data they need for
better research and care, it
made children excited and
fought their pains with a
purpose.

PAINSQUAD
• They now are not simply
victims of cancer but
detectives that is baring
some pain to help humanity
defeat cancer once and for
all!

PAINSQUAD
• Pain Squad was a massive
success in a few hospitals in
Canada and is going
through more test cases in
a lot more hospitals in
2013.

You are likely benefitting from The Internet of Things (IoT) today, whether or not you’re familiar with the term. If your phone automatically connects to your car radio, or if you have a smartwatch counting your steps, congratulations! You have adopted one small piece of a very large IoT pie, even if you haven't adopted the name yet. IoT may sound like a business buzzword, but in reality, it’s a real technological revolution that will impact everything we do. It's the next IT Tsunami of new possibility that is destined to change the face of technology, as we know it. IoT is the interconnectivity between things using wireless communication technology (each with their own unique identifiers) to connect objects, locations, animals, or people to the Internet, thus allowing for the direct transmission of and seamless sharing of data. IoT represents a massive wave of technical innovation. Highly valuable companies will be built and new ecosystems will emerge from bridging the offline world with the online into one gigantic new network. Our limited understanding of the possibilities hinders our ability to see future applications for any new technology. Mainstream adoption of desktop computers and the Internet didn’t take hold until they became affordable and usable. When that occurred, fantastic and creative new innovation ensued. We are on the cusp of that tipping point with the Internet of Things. IoT matters because it will create new industries, new companies, new jobs, and new economic growth. It will transform existing segments of our economy: retail, farming, industrial, logistics, cities, and the environment. It will turn your smartphone into the command center for the both digital and physical objects in your life. You will live and work smarter, not harder – and what we are seeing now is only the tip of the iceberg.

So clearly, they should just jumped on the web and started advertising for open positions, right? Wrong. The best candidates may already be working somewhere else. Volkswagen chose a no less unusual place for their vacancy ads.

They need young men and women for an occupation that in many ways is about giving up your own safety in order to help others. They wanted to activate the target group while simultaneously raising the question. Would people sacrifice their own freedom for someone they have no relation to? Are people prepared to show that they care in ways that don’t include sharing something on Facebook or tweeting a specific hash-tag?

Based on their traditional furniture instructions, all customers took home the witty application forms without realising. The clever initiative not only minimised the costs on advertising, but it also ensured IKEA fans were targeted.

Analysis of Variance technique is used to test whether the mean of several samples differ significantly. An agronomist may like to know whether yield per acre will be the same if four different varieties of wheat are sown in different identical plots. A diary farm may like to test whether there is significant difference between the quality and quantity of milk obtained from different classes of cattle. A business manager may like to find out whether there is any difference in the average sales by four salesmen.

The computer networking revolution began in the early 1960s and has led us to today s technology. The Internet was first invented for military purposes, and then expanded to the purpose of communication among scientists. The invention also came about in part by the increasing need for computers in the 1960s. The Internet is bringing a revolution along with it. Access to information combined with global supply and demand is reshaping established conventions and destroying old world definitions.
