Visions of the Future: Spime Watch and Pattern Recognition
This document discusses how connectivity and data are enabling smarter cities and communities through augmented reality, ubiquitous connectivity, and tracking of objects and people over time. It introduces the concept of a "spime" as a theoretical object that can be precisely tracked in space and time. As technologies advance, people and possessions may become like "ubiquitous findable objects". However, with greater data collection will come issues around filtering and displaying all this information. Better social software, apps to audit personal data, and platforms for citizens to organize themselves will be needed to manage life in an "unevenly distributed future".

Technology can be used in 7 interesting ways to help solve global problems:
1) Develop technologies like smarter air purifiers to reduce pollution and improve the environment.
2) Advance robotics to create soft, compliant machines that can safely interact with delicate objects and the human body.
3) Use artificial intelligence and machine learning to help computers learn and solve problems without being explicitly programmed.
4) Innovate applications for drones in areas like agriculture, infrastructure inspection, and delivery services.
5) Create neuromorphic computer chips that mimic the human brain's information processing abilities.
6) Redefine communication tools like email, instant messaging and mobile phones that have changed how humans interact.

By 2023, more people and countries will have internet access than ever before due to an 8.8% increase in global internet users in 2012 to 2.4 billion users. This increased access will help resources reach poorer nations more easily and greatly impact business and economies. As global internet access rises, the desktop computer will become obsolete with most people accessing the internet via cell phones alone, following theories of critical mass and diffusion of innovations. GPS technology will also be used more to track people like criminals and protect children.

Exponentials and Networks - The Existential Challenge Of Radical Innovation For The Enterprise
Exponential technologies tend to take even the experts by surprise. The centralized and hierarchical organizations are under threat by nimbler and more resilient decentralized networks.
How can modern enterprises survive the combined challenges of technological and organizational innovation, internalizing the processes that make companies great and thrive?
What in the world is going on
People are consuming information at unprecedented rates across many platforms like social media, video sharing, coding, gaming, apps, and search. This hyper-connected world requires constantly studying, working smarter, and adapting faster than before. Simply being average is no longer enough to earn a comparable living. Meanwhile, incomes in the U.S. have stagnated while costs of tuition, living expenses, and inequality have grown significantly. More workers are becoming freelancers and defining success for themselves in this changing environment.
Machines Helping Humans Helping Machines
How do we communicate with trillions of machines? We don’t. It is up to them to find ways to aggregate the information they collect and present it in ways that humans can use. It is the duty of the localization industry to lead the development of guidelines for these interfaces that implement best practices for clarity, cross-cultural understanding, accessibility and usefulness worldwide. In this session we will present examples of how this can be achieved while preserving and enhancing the value of the localization industry and its participants.

The document discusses the history and definition of the Internet of Things (IoT). It notes that IoT was coined in 1999 and refers to the network of physical objects embedded with sensors, software and other technologies to enable the collection and exchange of data. Examples provided include ATMs being some of the first IoT devices in 1974. Statistics show there were more connected objects than people by 2008, and predictions estimate over 50 billion connected devices by 2020. The document reflects on IoT being a new but realistic concept that will become more recognized and integrated into everyday life in the coming years.
L05 How Innovation Happens
When innovators try to envision how people will use their product they often have different ideas on what people want. Products that are of superior technology may fail and inferior succeed, only because the inferior product has some features that people are looking for.
In this lecture we look at how new products or technologies get adopted my markets. We look at the Law of Diffusion of Innovation, which explains how this adoption happens. We also look at what it takes for a new innovation to move from being a visionary idea to a practical product, or crossing the chasm. Finally we explore the hype cycle.
In this lecture we look at how innovation happens. We look at the slow hunch, the liquid network, and serendipity.
NICAR: Open government, Gov 2.0 and open data journalism
This document discusses open data journalism and how open data allows citizens to be generative in new ways by organizing on open data platforms using various data sources from government, industry, and social media. However, there is also a risk that open data only empowers those who are already empowered, so efforts are needed to bridge the "data divide" and make data accessible to all.
Our Future Is Now - The Future of Computing
The evolution of computing platforms, with the interaction of hardware, software, and interfaces, is extending the reach of the original formulation of Moore's law. 3D chips, quantum computing, speech recognition, gesture recognition, conversational interfaces are appearing, and create a necessary premise to the next generation of smart objects constituting the Internet of Things.

Metaverse, by Guilherme Ravache - Forum Edify 2022
The metaverse is an embodied internet where people can interact through personalized avatars, making interactions feel more present than video calls. It will be persistent, allowing spaces to remain the same when revisited. The metaverse will encompass activities like concerts, games, socializing, work, and shopping. While the concept has been around for decades, the metaverse is now seen as the next wave that will succeed the web and mobile, bringing together technologies like blockchain, NFTs, VR, and AR. However, the technology is not yet advanced enough and infrastructure needs to improve to fully realize the potential of the metaverse.
What is Metaverse?
Metaverse is a term used to describe a collective virtual shared space that allows users to interact with a computer-generated environment and each other in real-time. It is an advanced form of virtual reality that goes beyond individual experiences and enables a shared immersive experience that mimics real-world environments and social interactions. Metaverse technology has been gaining popularity in recent years and is expected to be a key component of the next generation of the internet.
The concept of the metaverse originated in science fiction literature and has since evolved into a reality, with various companies developing platforms and technologies to create a virtual shared space. Metaverse environments can be created using virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) technologies, allowing users to experience a fully immersive environment or a hybrid of the real and virtual world.
Metaverse applications can be used in a variety of industries, including gaming, education, social media, and e-commerce. In gaming, metaverse environments allow players to interact with each other and explore complex virtual worlds with advanced artificial intelligence and physics engines. In education, metaverse technology can create immersive learning experiences, allowing students to explore historical events or scientific concepts. In social media, metaverse technology can create virtual social spaces where users can interact with each other in a variety of settings. In e-commerce, metaverse technology can be used to create virtual storefronts, allowing customers to browse and purchase products in a fully immersive environment.
As technology continues to evolve, the metaverse is expected to become an increasingly important part of the way we interact with each other and the world around us. It has the potential to create entirely new industries and change the way we work, learn, and socialize. However, there are also concerns about the impact of metaverse technology on privacy, security, and societal norms. As the metaverse continues to develop, it will be important to address these concerns and ensure that this technology is used in a way that benefits society as a whole.

It notes that immersive technologies like games and virtual worlds engage users' time and attention in educational ways. These technologies are driving innovation in areas like 3D rendering and collaboration tools. New interfaces using motion tracking, touchscreens, and brainwave sensors are making technology more accessible and attractive to users. However, harnessing the opportunities of these technologies to shape a sustainable future will be a big challenge.
Patterns for technology thinking
Michell Zappa presents 6 patterns for thinking about technology:
1) Exponential change means technology gets faster and cheaper over time, indirectly affecting all aspects of society.
2) Unintended consequences are difficult to anticipate as technology causes nonlinear and unexpected impacts.
3) Technological ubiquity results in all industries and companies becoming technology companies in some way.
4) New technologies are combinations of pre-existing technologies. 5) Science fiction inspires real-world innovation. 6) By understanding these patterns, the future of technology can be more predictable than perceived.
Top Tech Inventions on Their Way to Revolutionize Human Lives
Top tech inventions are on their way to revolutionize human lives. Let’s learn more about AR,
VR, AI, and 3D content and inventions from the future.
Virtual reality
Digital technologies have transformed how people experience and share their lives. Many users actively curate their social media profiles to portray idealized versions of their lives. However, this has led to a world of "unreality" where people confuse simulated online representations for reality. New technologies like augmented reality, virtual reality, and mixed reality increasingly blur the lines between real and virtual, allowing people to immerse themselves in simulated experiences. While these technologies provide opportunities to experience the impossible, they also risk further detachment from true reality and increased digital addiction if not approached carefully.
D King Writing Portfolio
The document discusses emerging trends in neurotechnology, including brain-computer interfaces. It describes how some paraplegic individuals have been able to control robotic exoskeletons and drive a race car using only their minds by wearing brain monitoring headsets. The technology is becoming more accessible, with some headsets costing similar to video game consoles. Applications include gaming, sleep monitoring, and attention monitoring in vehicles and workplaces. The market for neurotechnology devices was $7.6 billion in 2016 and is projected to reach $12 billion by 2020. However, the technology still faces obstacles to widespread adoption, such as the invasiveness of implants, lack of understanding of the brain, and concerns over privacy and inequality of access
What does the future have in store for
The document discusses several predictions for future technologies and innovations. It predicts that virtual reality gaming will become more common through devices like the Oculus Rift and Project Morpheus. It also suggests that cloud-based storage will replace physical storage methods and be used for more applications like video game saves. Additionally, it proposes that advances in police technology like thermal imaging will create a safer society through improved communication and criminal detection.

The Singularity is Here - SXSWi 2011
On March 11, 2011 Todd Marks presented The Singularity is Here at SXSW Interactive.
The topic of Singularity is heating up as more people discuss what will become of the human race when computers exceed our intelligence. This presentation explores several theories about the future of mankind and points out how the technology leading us there is already HERE.
“The Singularity is Near” is a book and movie written by futurist and prominent Singularitarian, Ray Kurzweil. It is a documentary with a B-line drama where Ray’s digital alter ego Ramona sets off on a quest to pass the Turing Test. Passing this test signifies the day computers can “think”, which came close to occurring a few years ago and is not far off.
Learn what milestones we have already reached toward Singularity and what technologies present and future are leading us there. We will explore Location Based Services, Augmented Reality, Bio-Feedback and Smart Agents. We will analyze current trends in Bio-Technology, Nano-Technology, Computing and Robotics and discuss the possibility of Digital Immortality.
SXSW 2014 - Ogilvy Labs Trend Report
This year's SXSW conference saw discussions around privacy and data use following Edward Snowden's leaks about government surveillance programs. Both Snowden and Julian Assange appeared virtually to discuss these issues. Other popular topics included wearable tech, drones, crowdfunding platforms like Indiegogo challenging Kickstarter, and the growing "maker movement" enabled by accessible tools like Little Bits and free/open source software.

The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically young
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.

Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
Deep Software Variability and Frictionless Reproducibility
Deep Software Variability and Frictionless ReproducibilityUniversity of Rennes, INSA Rennes, Inria/IRISA, CNRS
The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

What Is the Singularity?
- 1. Mark Seeger, Mission Motorcycles
- 2. An entrepreneur and investor who founded Mission Motorcycles and now serves as an investment partner at Highland Capital Partners, Mark Seeger has a deep interest in science fiction and emerging technologies. One of the areas where these topics meet is known as “the singularity,” a term that describes the creation of an artificial intelligence that will exceed that of humans. Mark Seeger follows both fictional and factual accounts of the singularity. Science fiction writer Vernor Vinge coined the term “the singularity” in 1993, but the idea itself originated in the 1950s. While it may still sound like sci-fi, some experts think the approach of the singularity is already changing everyday life and causing tidal waves in the scientific community. In the past 50 years, technology has developed at hyper speed.
- 3. Even looking at the recent past, between 1986 and 2007, average application-based computing power doubled every 14 months. Just as one example, humanity now has the ability to use cell phones as encyclopedias and video chat with each other around the world. It’s believable that continuing technological advances will lead to a kind of artificial superintelligence - something so smart, it will change civilization in incredible ways. Some scientists and experts believe that the singularity could arrive as early as the 2040s, changing our daily lives completely. Some experts believe that with nanotechnology, old age and death will be a thing of the past. Comprehending the vast changes in the near future isn’t unlike those living in the Middle Ages attempting to imagine our present day lives with Internet.
