  • Foldit is a video game developed in 2008 by the University of Washington's departments of Computer Science and Engineering and Biochemistry. The object of the collaborative game is to determine how the primary structure of a protein turns into a functioning three-dimensional structure, or how it "folds."

      When does collaboration make sense?
      -  Finding needles in a haystack
      -  Accomplishing great feats
      -  Multiplying your senses
      -  Extending your physiology
      -  Swapping skills--reciprocity (aka value creation!)
      -  Reducing risk for kin or group
      -  Divvying up habitat

      Conditions ripe for collaboration
      -  Widely scattered information
      -  Moonshots
      -  Information overload
      -  Working all time zones
      -  Lean staffing
      -  Competition from other groups

  • If you want to find a good place to live, just ask people if they trust their neighbors. Levels of social trust vary enormously, but countries with high social trust have happier people, better health, more efficient government, more economic growth, and less fear of crime (regardless of whether actual crime rates are increasing or decreasing).

  • Nearly 30% of survey respondents (19 of 66) said their organization recouped their investment in immersive technologies in less than nine months, once their project(s) launched.
  • The top motivations for investment in immersive technology in 2008 /1Q 2009 were enabling people in disparate locations to spend time together, increased innovation, and cost savings or avoidance.
  • Early implementers are choosing the simplest use cases first. The most common were learning and training (80%, or 53 of 66 respondents focused on this use case) and meetings (76%, or 50 of 66 respondents). Some intend to take on more complex use cases in 2010 or 2011.

  • Immersive technology won out over a variety of alternatives primarily due to low cost and the increased engagement it delivers. The leading alternatives were Web conferencing and in-person meetings, followed by phone calls.
  • Work-related use of the Immersive Internet is in the early adopter phase. Before it can pass into the early majority phase, practitioners and the technology vendors who serve them must “cross the chasm.” The most common barriers to adoption are target users having inadequate hardware, corporate security restrictions, and getting users interested in the technology.

      the feeling is always true no matter what makes we feel that way.
  • Metaphors become real when we act as if they are real – whether or not we intellectually "believe" they are real. 
  • But is simulated sex real? Is the metaphoric rape of one artificial avatar by another avatar in a virtual world, virtual or real? Is it a real assault, a real crime? This was the famous question posed by a real legal case about an online game.
  • "If you respond as if it were real, then it is Presence."
  • eliciting real behavior from the metaphor.
  • We are heading into a domain where we create things "as if" they are something else, in imitation of them. Then we improve and deepen the fake with layers of more "as if" until it actually become something else.  Our creations go from "as if" to "is."
  • adding more layers of meaning and realism, until metaphor slowly passes whatever invisible barrier lies between the real and fake
  • see human society as the dominant superorganism on the planet, consuming resources and growing.
  • the world looks "as if" it has a global brain.
  • We currently view it as "our" brain, our collective brain, and that is how we act towards it
  • One of the ways we will know when a thing has passed from "as-if to is" is when it earns unalloyed love from humans.

  • "[In] quantum mechanics a vacuum is not empty, but it's filled with particles that are living on borrowed time and borrowed energy," he said.

    "So our simplest idea about dark energy is that it is just the quantum energy of nothing.

      Why am I adding this in Diigo's "Collaboration" group? I have to add it somewhere as it's so enchanting.

      This is for philosphers and poets to build on. Nothing is not nothing, but borrowed time and borrowed energy.

      Maybe civilisations are built on borrowed time and energy. Is that why all good things must come to an end?

      The quantum energy of nothing? Fascinating!
