Stalebread Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Thanks for the link. I'm not at all sure what to make out of all of it but it's interesting nonetheless. Mind boggling, really. Also food for thought: presentations from the TED conference (Technology, Entertainment, Design): http://www.ted.com/ A few I've enjoyed recently include -- Michael Moschen talking about juggling but it's really about more than juggling. -- Evely Glennie -- a deaf percussionist -- talking about and demonstrating how to listen to music. -- Gever Tulley talking about five dangerous things for kids. .

Guest RobertU Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 A professional colleague of mine sent me this a while back as a way to help push my organization's management to make some needed changes. It didn't work, the organization is still decades behind, but the video was interesting. It's funny, b/c to someone like me (34 yrs old) all the stuff in the video seems to be pretty much common sense - it didn't blow my mind or even seem all that surprising. I think a lot of those facts about the world - particularly the rate of change, the exponential increases in available information, and the sheer size and rate of growth of China and India as compared to the US - have yet to be absorbed in the general US consciousness. Once the average citizen has a handle on some of those ideas, I think we'll see some changes in mindset about some policies, particularly trade and education. Until then, I often feel like I am living and working among a bunch of folks stuck in the industrial revolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
