Primer19 NYC - Envisioning Our Demise to Prevent Our Extinction - Future of F...Anthony D. Paul
The design thinking process is increasingly criticized for conservatism and maintaining status quo, despite its popularization for collaborative change-making. At all levels, we admittedly craft idealistic user journeys, brand experiences, and business outcomes as design objectives, sidestepping the realistic challenges we, our products, and our users will face. As interface designers, we actively ignore the impending disruption of human work by automation, bots, and artificial intelligence. As organizational problem solvers, our scope of vision rarely zooms out to observe economies and markets shifting, dying, and being born. As dreamers and innovators, we focus on the value-creating dream for our creations, and have a hard time imagining their risk of weaponization or malpractice
GE Transportation’s, futurism research team is a steward for the railroad and adjacent industries who've been "doing it this way" for centuries. Their customers, and their departments, alienate one other as competitors, matching projects and resources to small-picture pain points that woefully and naively leave the surrounding global and industry changes unaddressed-- changes that, if left ignored, will result in the extinction of their market, workforce, and relevance. Anthony’s team shapes politically-charged partnerships, aligned industry visions, and intentional roadmaps into the future.
In this talk, Anthony will give the audience a renewed understanding of the importance of design context and a fresh look at how a healthy culture of the apocalypse can sharpen your design strategies, rally your stakeholders and decision-makers, and drive bigger picture innovation that trickles actionable guidance down to day-to-day projects.
Attendees will walk away with tangible activities for integrating speculative doomsday design fiction into their individual decisions and co-creative conversations.
This document appears to be notes from a student named Julia Coyle on a project about developing nano-bots for the brain. It includes research notes from several sources on topics like nano-robotics, connecting the brain to the internet, and using nano-bots to minimize threats from artificial superintelligence. It also includes notes on developing a brand name and character called Instansd, planning a Twitter marketing campaign for the nano-bots, analyzing the campaign's analytics, and exploring sound designs and motion graphics for the project.
This document appears to be research on developing nano-bots that could be embedded in the human brain. It discusses connecting humans directly to computers and the internet through nano-bots in order to help humans stay relevant with advancing artificial intelligence. The document outlines researching nano-robotic devices that could perform tasks at the nanoscale and implanting them in the brain. It also presents naming an potential product "Instansd" and developing a brand character and Twitter campaign to promote it. Sound designs and motion graphics exploring a theme of strength are also mentioned.
Designing Multi-Partner Transformations from Democratized Polytopias Into Act...Anthony D. Paul
As designers and foresight practitioners, we're pretty good at storytelling utopias, ideal experiences, provocative future products, and other end states. However, our partner teams rarely know how to take these ideas from philosophical discussion into productive next steps—especially when our R&D cycles have long tails into "value" metrics that would give us permission to create any of our ideas. How do we answer, "What now?" How do we design interim products that lay foundation for a grander vision? Or, even more aspirational, how do we steer the actions of multiple teams and industries toward a unified, democratized vision…aligning today's competitors into tomorrow's business partners? how do we utilize our role from the inside, to realize real, tangible, and positive change on the outside?
In this workshop, I'll share our Future of Freight Vision Timeline—how it was created, the value it provides in design discovery, and how we maintain it recursively. Our activities will use the tool and its associated worksheets to identify long-horizon product opportunities and speculative business models, describe those who will be both positively and negatively impacted by our offering, set a strategic roadmap into this vision including dependencies (cultural, financial, technological, etc.), and finally to identify near-term, actionable, partner-specific product opportunities. This talk is tailored to the designer, product strategist, or any other contributor within a large, reluctant organization or industry, who (like me) struggles to operationalize speculative futures and make a tangible difference that results in positive change.
This document discusses Jean Baudrillard's theories about media and society. It outlines how Baudrillard initially criticized Marshall McLuhan's views but later adopted McLuhan's idea that "the medium is the message" as a central tenet. Baudrillard argued that media create a hyperreality and world of simulations that has replaced the real. He also believed that media dissolve meaning and distinctions between media and reality through a process of implosion. While McLuhan saw potential benefits of media, Baudrillard viewed media more negatively as isolating individuals and preventing meaningful communication.

He also believed that media dissolve meaning and distinctions between media and reality through a process of implosion. While McLuhan saw potential benefits of media, Baudrillard viewed media more negatively as isolating individuals and preventing meaningful communication.
New media has been defined in various ways throughout history as new technologies emerged and evolved. Originally, McLuhan viewed new media as extensions of human senses that would facilitate mediated public spheres and social change. Popularly in the 1980s-90s, new media referred to emerging digital mass media. More recently, new media is understood as a perspective representing the activities of people using innovative technologies to extend and mediate human experiences through hybrid social and cultural spaces.
Fashion photography has evolved significantly since the first permanent photographs in the 1830s. Early fashion photographs were used for catalogues and magazines. In the early 1900s, improvements in printing allowed photographs to be widely reproduced in magazines. Notable early photographers included Cecil Beaton and Lee Miller. In the postwar era, photographers like Richard Avedon brought a new style to magazines like Harper's Bazaar and Vogue. Digital photography and the rise of blogs have further democratized fashion photography.
The document discusses key concepts from chapter 2 of "A Critical Introduction to Media and Communication Theory" including:
1. Media can be viewed as institutions, organizations, products, or technologies.
2. Harold Innis' ideas of time bias and space bias which influence how media distribute information over time and space.
3. Marshall McLuhan's concepts of "the medium is the message" and how different media act as "extensions of man" and influence society in different ways.
4. McLuhan's distinction between "hot" and "cool" media and how they require different levels of engagement and participation.
Camille Paglia is a controversial feminist scholar known for her critiques of feminism, art, and culture. She received her graduate degrees from Yale and studies topics like pop culture, sex, film, feminism, poetry, and politics. While not developing her own theories, Paglia supports and contributes to the media ecology theories of Marshall McLuhan. She believes that new communication technologies have profoundly shaped society and human interaction over time. One of Paglia's most well-known works is Sexual Personae, which analyzes the development of Western art and culture through psychological and sexual frameworks.
The document discusses Marshall McLuhan's theories about media and technology from the 1960s. It summarizes McLuhan's idea of "acoustic space" being like the online world of cyberspace. It also discusses Paul Levinson applying McLuhan's ideas to digital media and how McLuhan predicted aspects of the current media landscape.
The document discusses Marshall McLuhan's views on electronic media like the telegraph. It provides context on the telegraph's development and impact. According to McLuhan, the telegraph had several key effects: it allowed for instant transmission of information over long distances, it weakened traditional power structures by enabling direct communication across hierarchies, and it fostered interdependence among social institutions. The document examines other media like the telephone and their unintended consequences, noting that new technologies often improve old media before their true effects emerge.
The End of Information Technology: Introducing Hypersense & Human TechnologyMartin Geddes
If we were to climb into a time machine and set the dial for ten years into the future, what might personal communications look like? Might you inhabit a soothing virtual reality where your conference call takes place in a simulated lakeside villa? Might you consult with a virtual doctor? Employ a “Guardian Avatar” to act autonomously on your behalf eliminating online drudgery and security concerns? Although no particular future is certain, the seeds of what is to come can always be found within the present reality, albeit often only in retrospect.
The document discusses communication technologies that are predicted to be widely used by 2021. It analyzes video messaging, universal translation devices, and touchscreen computers using theories like Rogers' Diffusion of Innovation and the Umbrella Perspective. These theories help explain how innovations are adopted by different groups over time and integrate into society. Video messaging is already used by innovators and will spread as media presents it positively. Touchscreen computers will expand as their interfaces become more intuitive. Universal translation devices will facilitate global communication as intercultural interactions increase.
The document discusses how people have historically been able to govern themselves and create innovations through open collaboration and "people power", without needing central authorities. It proposes "co-do" as a new online platform to connect people and enable open, collaborative innovation by providing an environment for sharing ideas and working on solutions together. Co-do aims to harness the creative potential of people power on the internet by allowing users to highlight expertise, access others' contributions, work jointly on initiatives, and vote on the best ideas and additions to shared resources.

What Happens To The Human Body As We Age
By: Chloe
Life Span
Aging- “The time-related deterioration of the physiological functions necessary for survival and fertility” (Gilbert, 2000).
The life span of a human is said to be 121 years but rarely do we live that long.
The only species expected to live longer than humans is tortoises and lake trout which can live up to 150 years
Scott F Gilbert is the author of Developmental biology, 6th edition. In this article he talks about the maximum life span and life expectancy of certain species. He talks about how no matter what species the life expectancy depends on populations on the species. In this world today the life span of a human is different depending where you live. Someone in the United States is expected to live longer than someone who lives in Afghanistan.

Survival rates
Survival curves for U.S. females in 1900, 1960, and 1980. M50 represents the age at which 50% of the individuals of each population survived. (After Arking 1998.)
In this figure Scott Gilbert shows the aging curve in females from the 1900s to the 1980s. It shoes how in the 1900s females where living an average of 58 years and in the 1980s females were living an average of 81 years.

Causes of Aging
Oxidative damage- metabolism
General wear-and-tear and genetic instability- small traumas to the body over time
Mitochondrial genome damage- energy production
Telomere shortening- Telomeres are found at the end of human chromosomes
Genetic aging programs- aging rapidly
Scott Gilbert describes five ways what causes humans to age. He states there are many different theories how we age and there is no clear agreement what exactly causes humans to age.

Genetic Aging Syndrome
Out of the five Genetic aging has no cure. This is a rare form that causes kids to age at a very high speed making there life span very short.

1. Adoption Theory
The adoption theory analyses the fact that there might be multiple factors which influences the
decision of a customer. (Straub, 2009) .These factors might incorporate the awareness and
knowledge of the consumer, their acceptance of the innovation and experience in buying such a
product. This report will analyse the cl ...
The document discusses various present and future applications of artificial intelligence including helping the aging population through robots, using rescue robots during disasters, developing speech recognition and reading tutorials, creating robots that can learn and adapt like humans, developing telepresence robots for communication, developing automated therapists and conversational search engines, and considerations around whether AI poses a threat to humanity.
Michael Edson: Prototyping the Smithsonian CommonsMichael Edson
The document discusses prototyping the Smithsonian Commons, which is proposed as a new digital platform and presence for the Smithsonian Institution. It summarizes the Smithsonian's strategic plan and goals of updating their digital experience, learning model, and balancing autonomy and control. A key aspect is creating the Smithsonian Commons, which would stimulate learning, creation and innovation by providing open access to the Smithsonian's research, collections and communities online. The presentation discusses building prototypes to demonstrate what a Smithsonian Commons would look like from the perspective of different types of users.
The document discusses how the internet and social media have transformed audience behavior by allowing audiences to take a more active role in selecting, reporting on, and discussing news and media content. It provides the example of Twitter, where ordinary users can report on news events through their tweets. This empowerment of audiences as "prosumers" and "citizen journalists" has challenged traditional media and led to new discussions around convergence and miniaturization of technology. Students are prompted to consider how human qualities now exist in media products and how the distinction between real and virtual worlds has changed through examples like social networking sites and multiple platform releases.
The document discusses emerging technologies and their predicted times to widespread adoption. It explores technologies like mobile devices, eBooks, augmented reality, gesture-based computing, learning analytics and visual data analysis. Technologies are grouped into those predicted to reach adoption within 1 year, 2-3 years, and 4-5 years. The document emphasizes exploiting new technologies' "wow factor" to enhance teaching practices.
The following document was elaborated by InPeople Consulting & UpsideRisks as a consecuence of the participation at the Conference Exponential Finance and their own research.

Predicting mid-range global futures (2005-2050)Danila Medvedev
The document discusses various approaches to thinking about and predicting the future, including time periods to consider, common visions of the future, challenges, and who engages in future thinking. It notes limitations of science fiction, futurology, individual futurists, and short-term corporate predictions, and advocates for a systematic, technology-focused approach incorporating exponential trends to more accurately envision the mid-range future from 2005 to 2050.
Exploring the Future of Science and TechnologyPaul Schumann
This document discusses different types of futures and futuring. It explores four potential futures: simple, cyclical, chaotic, and complex. Technological driving forces and their life cycles are examined, along with transformations from previous industrial revolutions. Various technologies and their applications are outlined. Forces shaping the future like demographics, politics, technology, and economics are considered.
Dr. Angel Iscovich is a physician, author, and speaker. His website angeliscovich.com handles all media and booking inquiries for his speaking engagements.

It also outlines some of his speaking topics related to routines, time management, and leadership.
SXSW is an annual conference that brings together creative professionals from various industries. This year, SXSW offered its first Wellness Expo. The document discusses several digital health trends observed at SXSW 2018, including an increased focus on patient centricity, social responsibility initiatives from pharmaceutical companies, and collaborations between tech and pharma companies through innovation incubators. It also notes the strong presence of women in tech and health tech fields at the conference.
Technology as a Cultural Practice - UX AustraliaRachel Hinman
How do you design a mobile money service for people in rural Uganda who’ve never had a bank account? How do you test the usability of a mobile phone’s address book for users in rural India who’ve never had an address… yet alone an analog address book?
As cheap PCs and inexpensive mobile phones flood the global market, usability and user experience professionals will encounter more and more questions like these – questions that challenge not only our research tools and methodologies, but our fundamental assumptions about how people engage with technology. In this talk, Rachel will share insights she’s gained through creating experiences that must scale across vastly different cultures. She’ll share her thoughts on the challenges and opportunities designing for global markets will present to the user experience industry in the years to come.
The document discusses several theories related to future technologies and media dependency:
1) Media Systems Dependency Theory explains how individuals rely on media to different degrees to understand their world, act effectively, and find escape or entertainment. Younger people today are more dependent on technologies like smartphones.
2) Diffusion of Innovations Theory outlines how new ideas and technologies are adopted in five stages from awareness to final acceptance. Steve Jobs said innovation distinguishes leaders from followers.
3) Uses and Gratifications Theory suggests users actively choose media to fulfill personal needs and goals from available options.
The future of technologies may include more advanced touchscreens, gaming, 3D and internet capabilities integrated into smartphones, TVs, and con

How do you design a mobile money service for people in rural Uganda who’ve never had a bank account? How do you test the usability of a mobile phone’s address book for users in rural India who’ve never had an address… yet alone an analog address book?
As cheap PCs and inexpensive mobile phones flood the global market, usability and user experience professionals will encounter more and more questions like these – questions that challenge not only our research tools and methodologies, but our fundamental assumptions about how people engage with technology. In this talk, Rachel will share insights she’s gained through creating experiences that must scale across vastly different cultures. She’ll share her thoughts on the challenges and opportunities designing for global markets will present to the user experience industry in the years to come.
The document discusses several theories related to future technologies and media dependency:
1) Media Systems Dependency Theory explains how individuals rely on media to different degrees to understand their world, act effectively, and find escape or entertainment. Younger people today are more dependent on technologies like smartphones.
2) Diffusion of Innovations Theory outlines how new ideas and technologies are adopted in five stages from awareness to final acceptance. Steve Jobs said innovation distinguishes leaders from followers.
3) Uses and Gratifications Theory suggests users actively choose media to fulfill personal needs and goals from available options.
The future of technologies may include more advanced touchscreens, gaming, 3D and internet capabilities integrated into smartphones, TVs, and con

Technological Singularity & A.I. 2018 - PPTRahul John
The document discusses the concept of technological singularity and how rapidly advancing artificial intelligence could eventually surpass human intelligence, changing life as we know it. It explores ideas around merging with machines to augment human abilities and achieve immortality. The document also examines how dependent society has already become on artificial intelligence in areas like transportation, home delivery services, and music selection.
1. Advances in technology like artificial intelligence, machine learning, and big data are transforming medicine and how patients receive care. Virtual assistants and digital tools powered by AI may replace many routine doctor tasks in the future.
2. A Japanese patient's rare form of leukemia was successfully diagnosed by IBM's Watson after it analyzed the patient's genetic data compared to 20 million studies. This shows how AI can outperform doctors in certain areas.
3. For doctors to remain relevant, they will need to embrace new technologies, focus on skills like complex problem-solving that AI cannot yet match, and reinvent their roles in the changing healthcare system.

2. A Japanese patient's rare form of leukemia was successfully diagnosed by IBM's Watson after it analyzed the patient's genetic data compared to 20 million studies, leading to more effective treatment.
3. Exponential increases in computing power and data according to Moore's Law and Kurzweil's Law of Accelerating Returns mean that medicine and health information will be subject to these trends of rapid technological change. This will further reduce the need for routine doctor involvement in patient care over time.

The Lost Creek Civic Organization passed a resolution opposing CodeNEXT 3.0, Austin's proposed rewrite of its land development code. The resolution expressed concerns that CodeNEXT 3.0 would contradict deed restrictions in Lost Creek, increase litigation and degrade the neighborhood. It requested that the City commit to enforcing deed restrictions, reject provisions allowing non-residential uses or increased density, traffic, or impervious cover. The resolution also asked the City to postpone any vote on CodeNEXT 3.0 until more review and analysis could occur.
Lost Creek Wildfire Adapted Community PlanPaul Schumann
The Lost Creek Wildfire Adapted Community Plan aims to improve wildfire preparedness and safety in the Lost Creek neighborhood. The plan seeks to (1) inspect homes in high risk wildland-urban interface areas to assess compliance with firewise standards, (2) educate homeowners on mitigation measures and provide assistance with landscaping/debris removal, and (3) develop an evacuation plan coordinated with other entities in the area and provide education to residents. The plan also aims to conduct fuel reduction projects on public and private lands, advocate for improved emergency response times, and update local development codes to incorporate firewise building standards.
- The document analyzes housing affordability data from ZIP code 78704 in Austin.
- It finds that housing price is most strongly correlated with size and age of the home. Only condos built before 1972 are around $200,000, the price affordable to median income.
- Increasing density or housing diversity alone will not make housing affordable given current market conditions and construction costs. The real issue is socioeconomic and requires broader policies than land development code changes can address.
This document provides definitions and standards for 11 transect zones (T3-T6) that regulate building types, forms, and uses to create walkable urban environments. Each zone is defined by its intent, allowed building types and sizes, setbacks, parking standards, and intended uses. The zones range from low-density residential edges (T3) to high-intensity mixed-use cores (T6).
A Tale of Two Cities (Austin and Seattle)Paul Schumann
The document summarizes recommendations from a Seattle task force on housing affordability and compares planning approaches between Seattle and Austin. It notes that Seattle requires developers to include affordable units, prioritizes affordable housing on public land, and offers subsidies and tax breaks to encourage affordable development and prevent displacement. In contrast, the document argues Austin accepts too much development without ensuring affordability and quality of life. It calls for Austin to update neighborhood plans, engage diverse voices, and require all neighborhoods to participate in housing supply solutions.
by David King
A 2012 study by the City showed that Austin’s zoning capacity would accommodate a doubling of the population. That is apparently not enough for
organizations like the Real Estate Council of Austin
(RECA), Austin Board of Realtors (ABOR), and Austinites For Urban Rail Action (AURA). These groups blame single family zoning for the City’s housing affordability crisis and claim that entrenched neighborhood groups resist any changes to neighborhoods.
Fact Sheets on Fencing for Wildfire MitigationPaul Schumann
Noncombustible fencing materials within 5 feet of a home can help reduce wildfire risks. Combustible fencing can ignite from embers and spread fire to the nearby home. Fencing products made of noncombustible materials like steel or those with designs allowing better air flow are less likely to ignite from embers.
A wildfire adapted community is defined by the United States Forest Service as "a knowledgeable and
engaged community in which the awareness and actions of residents regarding infrastructure, buildings, landscaping, and the surrounding ecosystem lessens the need for extensive protection actions and enables the community to safely accept wildfire as a part of the surrounding landscape." The National Wildfire Coordinating Group definition, which was developed approved by the Wildland Urban Interface Mitigation Committee, is "A human community consisting of informed and prepared citizens collaboratively planning and taking action to safely coexist with wildland fire."
The document provides an assessment of wildfire risk for the Lost Creek community. It analyzes various wildfire risk factors like ignition density, fire intensity, rate of spread, and home defensibility across different areas of Lost Creek. GIS maps are used to visualize the data. Home defensibility is rated based on homeowners' ability to implement wildfire risk reduction measures within 100-200 feet of their homes. The analysis finds that Lost Creek has a serious wildfire risk and many homeowners have limited ability to protect their homes individually. It identifies priority areas for wildfire mitigation based on a combination of wildfire risk factors and home defensibility ratings.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.
