The document proposes a three-layered map of the world to better track needs, capacities, and money flows in order to improve local conditions faster. It involves creating layers that map needs, capacities to address needs, and spatially tracking money aimed at needs and capacities. This would help address issues like untraceable foreign aid by providing greater transparency. The presenter aims to build an "ethical bank" that utilizes such mapping and technologies to help consumers use banking and spending to actively support sustainable and ethical goals.

The presentation goes on to describe the speaker's plan to build an ethical bank starting in various cities, using technology to provide more transparency around lending and help consumers and organizations shop ethically.

Bruce Cahan discusses the need for more ethical banks. He argues that current banks often fund activities that are harmful such as pollution, war, poverty and poor health. In contrast, an ethical bank would integrate sustainability into its practices, use credit to reward ethical choices, and help communities rather than hurting them. Cahan is building his own ethical bank called GoodBank which will use technology like data harmonization and procurement visualization to help social entrepreneurs and non-profits compete for government contracts in a sustainable manner.
State of telecom and innovation in australia 2008Vishal Sharma
- Paul Budde was interviewed about the state of telecom and innovation in Australia.
- He discussed how 3G networks will continue to evolve towards LTE and improve affordability of mobile broadband over the next 5-8 years. However, fixed broadband networks will develop separately.
- For 3G technologies, 850 and 900/2100 have advantages and disadvantages and it is still uncertain which will dominate in Australia.
- WiMAX has niche applications for fixed broadband but mobile WiMAX will be late to market as 3G becomes established.
- Reach-extended DSL and future FTTN networks will both have roles to play in improving broadband access across Australia over time.
In a ubiquitous world:
As we enter the third wave of computing known a UbiComp, technology will shrink in size, increase in power and ultimately disappear into the background of our every day lives. A whole new infrastructure will see using miniature remotely powered wireless computers interfaced with sensors as opposed to keyboards. As RFID gets set to link every product on the planet to the Net through near field communication and GPS, it will allow the collation of unparalleled levels of data of consumer habits both in and out of the home. Always connected and always aware, privacy could become a thing of the past. What does this mean for the future of contextual and location-based advertising; where are we at and what can we expect? Will this finally bring the utopia that is being sought by marketers to answer conclusively which 50% of their media dollars are being wasted - and if so at what price to humanity? The writing is on the wall...

AWS IoT: enabling responsible water use - AWS Summit Cape Town 2018Amazon Web Services
Speaker: Clive Charlton, AWS
Level: 300
Day zero was the term coined by the City of Cape Town for the day they would have to turn the water off for citizens, potentially making Cape Town the first major city to run out of water. Thankfully day zero was avoided in 2018 but the danger still lingers. Learn how AWS empowers citizens to use water responsibly using AWS IoT, AWS Lambda, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon S3, Amazon Cognito.
The document discusses problems that PCM, a property and casualty management company, had with their financial reporting system. PCM struggled to manage financial reports and their management information system was restricted. They went through several incompatible technology changes. When residents requested reports, it took a long time for PCM to provide them due to these issues. PCM spent tens of thousands on new computers, software, and hiring staff but reports were still difficult to obtain. The document suggests PCM's chart of accounts was disorganized and did not properly track certain financial items, making reporting challenging.
The document discusses the evolution of the internet from its early beginnings in the 1960s as ARPANET to the modern internet with billions of users. It outlines key developments like the creation of the World Wide Web in the 1990s and the growth of broadband and smartphones in the 2000s. The document also examines how consumers use technology for tasks like searching online, what devices they use to access the internet, and trends in online shopping. It concludes by discussing predictions for the future internet including growth of voice assistants and smart cities.

The document discusses goals for Seattle to become the first carbon-neutral city in North America by 2030. It argues that increasing density through compact urban planning is critical to achieving this goal, as density promotes sustainability through more efficient infrastructure use and reduced transportation emissions. The document advocates increasing housing density, prioritizing pedestrians and cyclists over cars, and leveraging ambient technologies to create a more sustainable city.
The document discusses the future of technology and the internet. It describes how the semantic web will allow machines to understand the meaning of information online to help people with everyday tasks. Examples are given of how digital assistants may help with navigation, scheduling, and finding information. The document also discusses the rise of augmented reality and wearable technology over the last decade, including early wearable computers from 1999 and technologies like helmet-mounted displays of today. Marketing strategies are debated around leveraging social media and creating useful experiences for consumers. Charts show growth in online gaming and time spent on social media from 2005 to 2009.
