The document summarizes a Ted Talk about using big data in healthcare. It discusses how currently most healthcare data is collected using paper forms, but is not digitized or analyzed. This means there is little data available about global health issues. The talk proposes using Palm Pilots and later software called MAGPI to more easily collect healthcare data electronically in developing areas. This allows the data to be immediately uploaded and analyzed, compressing a process that previously took years down to just minutes. The summary concludes that appropriate and efficient use of big data has the potential to save many lives.

Technology is now destroying more jobs than it is creating. The jobs that are being created are low-paying and have to stay that way or they will be automated. Only polymaths need apply for the remaining "good" jobs.

In advertising, we work tirelessly to create what we hope is incredible branded content and then pay to get it in front of as many of the right people as possible. Our success is measured by some combination of business results, brand surveys and industry awards. But what really gets our blood pumping is when our work grabs the attention of the masses and goes viral. At Mullen, we recently had the good fortune of experiencing this with a video we created for American Greetings’ Mother’s Day campaign.
Naturally, when you do something great, you want to understand how you did it, so you can do it again. Our project post-mortem revealed some interesting insights about how and why something spreads among consumers and media, which is what we will share in this presentation, “Anatomy of a Viral Video.”
Highlights from a global productivity survey of 2,000 knowledge workers indicate that approximately 6.78 hours per week are spent managing and consolidating information such as documents, emails and web research. UK spends 7.08 hours per week managing information whilst France spends 6.69 hours and Germany spends 5.91 hours per week.
In USA Information Overload costs a minimum of $900 billion per year in lowered employee productivity and reduced innovation. This is a fairly conservative number and reflects the loss of 25% of the employee’s day

We have never been more connected to our jobs, and yet, we have never felt more dissatisfied with them. The millennial generation is seeking more fulfillment from working life, Google is introducing napping pods at its offices and younger workers are yearning for telework policies to provide them with the comforts of home while they attend to their jobs 24/7. All of these are indicators that we are craving balance in our lives and striving to figure out how to separate work and play in the midst of ambient connectivity. So herein lies the million dollar question, how does one achieve work-life balance in today's digital age?

Soccnx10 Man versus Machine – A Story About Embracing Innovation Femke Goedhart
Presentation as given on June 7th in Toronto by Francie Tanner & Femke Goedhart:
Technology and innovation impacts every industry, line of business and profession in ways we could not imagine even 50 years ago. While IT is meant to make things more efficient, the pace of IT evolution makes it hard to think of the future as being “easier”. History shows that companies which are unable to innovate are driven out of the market, which leaves adoption as a central key to dealing with that new social platform, CRM and other innovation. But how do you get people to embrace change? Some people claim that adoption is a purely human affair where it’s all about people, while others believe that adoption should be technology driven and enforced in an automated way. Join Femke Goedhart and Francie Tanner and learn all about adoption tools, methods and strategies that will help you make any new deployment a measurable success.

Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.
1. REVIEW ON THE TED TALK
THE BIG-DATA
REVOLUTION
IN
HEALTHCARE
2. MAJOR PROBLEM IN GLOBAL HEALTH
Even though the light is better on the Internet, the data that
would help solve the healthcare problems is not actually
present on the Internet. So we don't know, for example, how
many people right now are being affected by disasters or by
conflict situations. We don't know for, really, basically, any of
the clinics in the developing world, which ones have
medicines and which ones don't. We don't know how many
children were born - or how many children there are - in
Bolivia or Botswana or Bhutan.
3. For all of these different critically important problems or
critically important areas that we want to solve problems
in,we basically know nothing
REASON:
Usage of obsolete methods like paper forms
for tapping, recording data, with no guarantee
of it being loaded into a computer and being
analysed.
7. Why can't we put the forms on these PalmPilots? And go
out into the field just carrying one PalmPilot, which can hold
the capacity of tens of thousands of paper forms? Why
don't we try to do that? Because if we can do that, if we can
actually just collect the data electronically, digitally, from the
very beginning, we can just put a shortcut right through that
whole process of typing, of having somebody type that stuff
into the computer. We can skip straight to the analysis and
then straight to the use of the data to actually save lives."
THOUGHT PROCESS:
11. EFFECTIVENESS-
The whole point of it, just like with the PalmPilots, was that
you'd be able to collect the data and immediately upload
the data and get your data set. But what was found, of
course, since it's already on a computer, it can deliver
instant maps and analysis and graphing. We can take a
process that took two years and compress that down to the
space of five minutes. Cloud based, no training, no
consultants, no person.
Also, a wider reach!
