The Future is Here: Why Science and Technology Change the Kind of Schools We Need
Analysis of robots, wearable computers, and video games by technology forecaster Jim Brazell, Ventureramp.com, illuminate why science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) changes the kind of schools we need. Analysis includes changes in social institutions (education, family, health and work) with analysis of the implications for the individual (privacy, beliefs, values, etc.) in 2014. A speech ten (10) years in the making and remarkably prescient, Brazell helps us see over the horizon to what is next by understanding where we are today.

Technological advancement and its impacts on the world of work and societyFernando Alcoforado
Technological progress will inevitably have three consequences: 1) the decline in consumption or general demand for goods and services due to the increase in unemployment and the reduction of the purchasing power of the working population; (2) the decline of the middle class with major implications of a political nature since it acts as an ally of the bourgeoisie; and (3) the weakening of the struggle of the unions for the benefit of the workers and of the class struggle between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. The political consequences of the end of employment thanks to technological advances are quite serious because the population needs to work to survive. This may open the way for a social revolution with unpredictable consequences, unless a new model of society inspired by Scandinavian social democracy (Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Iceland) is implemented.

Gain a brief overview of several technological tools for enhancing learning: cell phones, iPod Touch/iPhone, VODcasting/video streaming, virtual learning environments and serious gaming.
Love is a very complex emotion to decode. Or is it?
Machines and their relationship with humans have been explored in great detail. However the impact of machines on the future of love and the connection between technology and emotions seem more pertinent now than before.

VLAB Talk: AI, Deep Learning, and the Future of BusinessSteve Omohundro
AI and robotics are poised to create $50 trillion of value in the next 10 years. This is causing hundreds of startups to be created with billions of dollars of investment. Over 250 of these are based on "deep learning neural networks". This talk explores the impact of AI and the recent successes of deep learning.
TEDx Manchester: AI & The Future of WorkVolker Hirsch

Transhumanism is the belief or theory that the human race can evolve beyond its current physical and mental limitations by means of science and technology. The more we explored this subject, the more we got fascinated to see how people are riding on the current era technologies to surpass the capabilities of human body. If the current explorations in transhumanism are anything to go by, then, we believe the future will be very exciting!
In this report we explore the various technologies, people involved and the advancements made in the field of Transhumanism. We would love to hear your feedback, comments and suggestions. Please mail us at ice@humanfactors.com
Semantics, Deep Learning, and the Transformation of BusinessSteve Omohundro
Deep learning is likely to have a big impact on business. McKinsey predicts that AI and robotics will create $50 trillion of value over the next 10 years. Over $1 billion of venture investment has gone to 250 deep learning startups over the past year. Deep learning systems have recently broken records in speech recognition, image recognition, image captioning, translation, drug discovery and other tasks. Why is this happening now and how is it likely to play out? We review the development of AI and the pendulum swings between the "neats" and the "scruffies". We describe traditional approaches to semantics through logics and grammars and the new deep learning vector semantics. We relate it to Roger Shepard's cognitive geometry and the structure of biological networks. We also describe limitations of deep learning for safety and regulation. We show how it fits into the rational agent framework and discuss what the next steps may be.

TEDX Talk: What's Happening With Artificial Intelligence?Steve Omohundro
I talked about the multi-billion dollar investments in AI and robotics being made by all the top technology companies and the 50 trillion dollars of value they are expected to create over the next 10 years. The human brain has 86 billion neurons wired up according to the "connectome". In 1957 Frank Rosenblatt created a teachable artificial neuron called a "Perceptron". Three-layer networks of artificial neurons were common in 1986 and much more complex "Deep Learning Neural Networks" were being studied by 2007. These networks started winning a variety of AI competitions besting other approaches and often beating human performance. These systems are starting to have a big effect on robot manufacturing, self-driving cars, drones, and other emerging technologies. Deep learning systems which create images, music, and sentences are rapidly becoming more common. There are safety issues but several institutes are now working to address the problems. There are many sources of excellent free resources for learning and the future looks very bright!
A futurist model on the economic impact of Respirocytes - Matt LeeburnMatt Leeburn
This paper has been written to gain a greater understanding of the cause and effect relationships of a theoretical nanotechnology, called a Respirocyte, on the economy. The result of this paper will give the reader a high level indication on some of the potential positive or negative effects of commercialisation of this technology, which can provide a basis for further thought on expediting or preventing certain variables over time.

Deep learning technologies are at the core of the current revolution in artificial intelligence for multimedia data analysis. The convergence of large-scale annotated datasets and affordable GPU hardware has allowed the training of neural networks for data analysis tasks which were previously addressed with hand-crafted features. Architectures such as convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural networks or Q-nets for reinforcement learning have shaped a brand new scenario in signal processing. This course will cover the basic principles of deep learning from both an algorithmic and computational perspectives.

Jim Brazell, CEO and Founder, ventureRAMP, Inc. — Friday, March 12, 2010
Fueled by Washington’s focus on STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) and U.S. competitiveness, Career and Technical Education (CTE) is emerging as a platform for systemic education reform in Texas, New York, California, Florida, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, North Carolina, Kansas, and Arizona. The implication for the educational technology and publishing industry is a wave of change enabling educational technology and textbook budgets to include CTE curricula and infrastructure. The rise of STEM broadens the definition of educational technology to support high-technology “shop” classes and broadens the market for kits, labs, simulations, and software and “hands-on” projects in K-12 schools.

81. Robotic Red Blood Cells To Vastly
Expand Human Capabilities
By: David Russell Schilling | July 20th, 2013
Abbott Laboratories in North Chicago is currently testing robotic red
blood cells or respirocytes in rats. According to
a CNN report respirocytes or mechanical red blood cells will
augment or replace human red blood cells carrying oxygen to the
body and enhancing mental and physical performance. Respirocytes
will be built using “molecular assemblers”, a kind of molecular
printing process, in nano-factories.

We all know drones can deliver death on the battlefield, but might they also soon
be delivering presents to your door? Amazon.com is counting on it, thanks to the
online retail giant's no-longer-secret "Octocopter" package delivery project.
