    please watch the video conversation, but here are my brief takeaways: - There is a shift form institutional structures (corporations, centralized governments, educational establishments) to social structuring - Social Structuring - creating value by aggregating micro contributors by large networks using social tools and technology Key patterns in future of learning are 1. Content comments 2. New Foundations 3. Global Learning arbitrage 4. Embedded and embodied learning 5. Human-software symbiosis 6. Socialstructured work Major shifts in learning: - from episodic to continuous learning - from content conveyors to content curators - from working at one scale to working at up&down the scale - from degrees to reputation metrics - from grades to continuous feedback

  • A 2015 Gallup Poll found that Millennials are the least engaged cohort in the workplace, with only 28.9% saying that they are engaged at work. This, combined with high turnover rates and greater freelance and entrepreneurial opportunities, means that if companies want to retain these valued workers, they will have to double their efforts to meet Millennials where they are
  • A 2015 report on Millennials from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce emphasized flex-time as one way to do this — it found that three out of four Millennials reported that work-life balance drives their career choice
  • Multiple studies have revealed that Millennials are keen to see their work as addressing larger societal concerns
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Millennials are strongly drawn to the “anything is possible” spirit of entrepreneurship. Rather than chase these workers away, companies that embrace a risk-tolerant culture and promote learning and experimentation will benefit from the heightened energy around innovation
  • the number one reason this cohort leaves a job is directly related to a boss. Other research has found that Millennials want communication from the boss more frequently than any other generation in the workforce.
  • “[Millennials] expect to work in communities of mutual interest and passion – not structured hierarchies,”
  • Shifts in organizational design—including fewer management layers, matrix structures, shared services, and outsourcing

  • how soon will it be illegal to operate human-driven cars on public streets?
  • autonomous vehicles will also be able to share information with each other better than human drivers can, in both real-time situations and over time. Every car on the road will benefit from what every other car has learned. Driving will be a networked activity, with tighter feedback loops and a much greater ability to aggregate, analyze, and redistribute knowledge.
  • when thousands and then even millions of cars are connected in this way, new capabilities are going to emerge.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • But the benefits of self-driving cars are so significant that in time the public will demand prohibitions against old-fashioned legacy driving in most public spaces
  • there are more than 2 billion legacy cars on the road, globally. Currently, the car industry can only produce around 100 million new vehicles a year. Just from a manufacturing perspective, it could take 20 years to build a new fleet that approximates the one we have now.

Technology connected world KE Social play patterns media game parenting indoor vs outdoor

shared by Maria Gurova on 31 Jul 13 - No Cached
  • Still, most parenting wisdom continues to portray television as an evil mind-rotting demon. The fear of ‘screen time’ is so deeply ingrained in our collective imagination that an irrational opposition between outdoor play and media consumption is taken for granted. Many parents believe the choice is either/or: indoors or out.
  • most storytelling is interactive. We consume most of our media through internet connected devices. And technology is so adept at providing ‘adaptive feedback’ that it proves to be an exceptionally effective teaching tool. In fact, a recent SRI study shows that game based learning can boost cognitive learning for students sitting on the median by 12%.
  • Joint media engagement refers to spontaneous and designed experiences of people using media together, and can happen anywhere and at any time when there are multiple people interacting together with digital and traditional media.

  • describes the rules and restrictions we put on screen time. Some of these restrictions limit time, other restrictions filter content.
  • Restrictive Mediation
  • Unlimited access to media becomes one of the markers of adulthood.
  • Instructive Mediation describes what happens when we talk to our kids while watching a movie or playing a video game with them. Make it a teaching opportunity
  • Instructive mediation is key for raising kids that are critical thinkers and intelligent adults in a media saturated world–kids who know how to THINK about the media they consume.
  • Social Coviewing is when you watch something with your kids but don’t necessarily talk about it. This is what happens in a movie theater.
  • This is what happens when I watch Phineas and Ferb with my kids.
  • Parallel play is kind of like multitasking. I can be typing on my Chromebook next to my son while he’s playing minecraft. We engage in peripheral conversations, some tangential, and some directly related to the game he is playing.
  • Asymmetrical joint media engagement
  • While interacting with me online, I hope they learn good web etiquette. I’m teaching them lessons about propriety and social media. They see the kinds of things I write in emails and chats.

  • The technology, known as UltraHaptics, is a haptic feedback system using ultrasound that provides users with a buzz-like feeling of pressure on their hand.
  • The technology does not just provide the sensation of flat surfaces, but can also be used to create the feel of 3D objects.
  • Sculptors could also use the technology to shape virtual objects using just their hands
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Hologram projections could be given a texture, with museum visitors
  • it could be used to indicate to drivers when a car is in their blind spot by providing a buzzing sensation on their neck, or developed as a wearable for blind people to indicate the presence of a road or obstacle
  • consumer fields are likely to be most interested due to the technology’s ability to augment existing entertainment systems.

Technology production micromanufacturing JIT ondemand

shared by alexbelov on 05 Apr 16 - No Cached
  • Micromanufacturing is the manufacturing of products in small quantities using small manufacturing facilities
  • In a perfect positive feedback loop that invariably forms around emerging technologies, SMT machines, reflow ovens and other necessary components of electronic board production will become smaller and cheaper, then cheaper still as they get even smaller.
  • Digikey is like Amazon and Wikipedia rolled into one
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Digikey is a vast store of virtually anything and everything that goes on printed circuit boards, from humble resistors to mighty CPUs
  • Digikey also provides technical data and marketing materials for everything they offer
  • most components can now be ordered in reels, even if the order quantity is very small
  • The idea is to allow manufacturers to create parts delivery schedules and thus achieve that coveted just-in-time production.
  • Extrapolating into the future, I see a world where compact SMT machines automatically order electronic parts from Digikey.
  • This budding movement to bring the manufacturing back home is not restricted to America alone. Across the globe in Russia, the government has started to eliminate tariffs on electronic components and simultaneously created significant barriers to using imported goods in government projects. The trend is clear, and countries big and small are beginning to follow suit.

    On-demand component-based production becomes available to consumers. A trend of micro-factories is starting to take off. Just-in-time manufacturing will be a local and niche business. It should allow countries to return goods manufacturing back home from China and other off-shore locations.
