Escaping the age of speed: New Paradigms of Learning as Impacted by Social Te...Teemu Arina
This document discusses how social technologies are impacting new paradigms of learning and escaping the age of speed. It argues that the past focused on speed and repetition rather than learning and innovation. But now, with tools like blogs, wikis and feeds, learning can happen in real-time through social interaction and participation. True innovation is emerging from bottom-up and collaborative processes, not top-down control. The connected human of the future ("Homo Contextus") can distribute cognition virtually without physical limitations, escaping the confines of traditional schooling models.
A short presentation created for FILM315. Think you’re great at multitasking? You might want to think again, and evaluate where your priorities lie compared to the hierarchy of digital distractions.

It provides examples of how information and interactions are shared online through tools like blogs, Flickr, YouTube, del.icio.us and Wikipedia. It also presents Marshall McLuhan's view that information overload provides opportunities for pattern recognition and discusses how organizations can function like organisms with systems like a nervous system, blood system, senses and skeleton.
Strengthening Civil Society Through Social Media: with notesDavid Wilcox
Presentation for 21st century network, February 28 2012. With notes
At times of financial restraint and when Governments are looking at how civil society can be recruited to deliver on their own agenda then how can we ensure that the many associations that make up civil society can protect their independence. Can social networking help create a network of mutual independence that strengthens the countless groups that are the social glue of our civil society?

As educational developers and trainers the focus of our work is on supporting others to learn and develop new skills. We do this in a variety of different ways from face to face to blended and distance learning. Increasingly technology is providing innovative ways to enhance teaching and learning and to engage learners. This may include the use of video, audio and images as well as Web 2.0 tools and social media. The potential to socially share this knowledge and to use technology to mediate this process is an important aspect of our own professional development. Shining a spotlight on how we can use social media to do this, I will share some of the key tools I have used and the impact they have had.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere, promising self-driving cars, medical breakthroughs, and new ways of working. But how do you separate hype from reality? How can your company apply AI to solve real business problems?
Here’s what AI learnings your business should keep in mind for 2017.
Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving CarsLinkedIn
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.

Teigland_Creating Personal Success through Networks and Social MediaRobin Teigland
The document discusses how personal and professional success can be achieved through networking and social media. It recommends developing a variety of strong and weak ties within and outside one's organization using both online and offline networks. It also suggests being selective, active, and creating awareness in networks by maintaining an online profile and presence. The key is to network broadly across different communities and with people who are diverse rather than just those similar to oneself.

Slides from a presentation at the American Academy of Religion Annual Meeting, October 30, 2010. From the catalogue:
New social media is reshaping Christian practice. With more than 500 million users on Facebook alone, we cannot ignore the significance of this cultural and spiritual transformation. Extending the work of Marshall McLuhan and Walter Ong with the practice theory of Pierre Bourdieu, this paper will explore the ways Web 2.0 technologies integrate pre- and postmodern modes of communication and associated interaction in community. The paper will outline the implications of new social media for the practice of Christianity and suggest ways that leaders in ministry can productively engage these technologies and the communities they help to create and sustain.
The presentation paper will be available at www.elizabethdrescher.net the week of November 1.

This document discusses measuring conversations on social media platforms. It begins by outlining the goals of capturing the depth of discussion beyond superficial metrics like buzz or followers. It emphasizes the importance of understanding individuals by examining their language use and social network roles. Finally, it stresses analyzing the overall ecosystem by identifying the types of groups and roles that emerge within different discussion spaces. The key is moving beyond isolated metrics to understand the rich context and dynamics of online conversations.

Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.

Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...Cometan
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.

2. An Emergence Created by
Swarms, not Queens
“In simplest terms, [networks] solve problems by drawing on
masses of relatively stupid elements, rather than a single, intelligent
‘executive branch.’ … They get their smarts from below. In more
technical language, they are complex adaptive systems that
display emergent behavior. In these systems, agents residing on
one scale start producing the behavior that lies one scale above
them: ants create colonies; urbanites create neighborhoods; simple
pattern-recognition software learns how to recommend new books.
The movement from low-level rules to higher-level sophistication is
what we call emergence.”

and Software (2001)
