  • I think there are ways in which we're constantly communicating and yet not making enough good connections, in a way that's to our detriment, to the detriment of our families and to our business organizations
  • We're not necessarily putting our investment in the ties that bind; we're putting our investment in the ties that preoccupy.
  • t's just something we need to learn to use when most appropriate, powerful, and in our best interest.

  • if you don't learn how to be alone, you'll always be lonely, that loneliness is failed solitude.
  • capacity for generative solitude is very important for the creative process,
  • I think it's that place for hope and change and the new, and what can be different, and how things can be what they're not now. And I think we all want that.

    Her new book, Alone Together, completes a trilogy of investigations into the ways humans interact with technology. It can be, at times, a grim read. Fast Company spoke recently with Turkle about connecting, solitude, and how that compulsion to always have your BlackBerry on might actually be hurting your company's bottom line.

    "The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) have the po - tential to ensure that every child in the United States is prepared for college and careers. It is a worthy goal and one that we must work together to achieve. However, infor - mation, policies, and products aimed at helping educators to implement the ELA Common Core State Standards are be - ing produced rapidly, sometimes with conf licting messages about literacy practices. This can be a confusing situation for school leaders and classroom teachers as they seek to under - stand the Standards and the best practices for literacy instruc - tion and assessment. It is state and local leaders and teachers themselves who, ultimately, must make the Standards into an effective instructional reality-what happens day to day in classrooms determines student ELA learning."

  • Our ineptitude in getting at the record is largely caused by the artificiality of systems of indexing. When data of any sort are placed in storage, they are filed alphabetically or numerically, and information is found (when it is) by tracing it down from subclass to subclass. It can be in only one place, unless duplicates are used; one has to have rules as to which path will locate it, and the rules are cumbersome.

  • trails that are not frequently followed are prone to fade, items are not fully permanent, memory is transitory. Yet the speed of action, the intricacy of trails, the detail of mental pictures, is awe-inspiring beyond all else in nature.
  • Selection by association, rather than indexing, may yet be mechanized
  • memex is a device in which an individual stores all his books, records, and communications, and which is mechanized so that it may be consulted with exceeding speed and flexibility. It is an enlarged intimate supplement to his memory.
  • "memex"
  • It affords an immediate step, however, to associative indexing, the basic idea of which is a provision whereby any item may be caused at will to select immediately and automatically another.
  • It is exactly as though the physical items had been gathered together from widely separated sources and bound together to form a new book
  • And his trails do not fade.
  • photographs the whole trail out, and passes it to his friend for insertion in his own memex, there to be linked into the more general trail.
  • Wholly new forms of encyclopedias will appear, ready made with a mesh of associative trails running through them, ready to be dropped into the memex and there amplified.

    "Connect Employees' Ideas With Management's Objectives Gain business results by encouraging social innovation Connecting employees' ideas with management's objectives is both a revolutionary opportunity and a significant challenge for organizations. Every single day, employees generate ideas for new businesses, products and process improvements. By implementing a social innovation strategy in your organization, you can automate the processes of pulling together expertise, experience, and authority of individuals to manage ideas forward into actual innovation projects, improving the quality of decision-making and accelerating the pace of innovation."

      The belief in evolution is the "cause" of nazi germany? I think not.
  • That understanding destroys the leverage politicians use to scare us into the idea that we are running out of oil.
  • incredible complexity deeply challenges any idea that it is the result of spontaneous generation.
  • When you compare that time against the $14 trillion-plus of the U.S. debt, it is comparatively a short time.
  • The rest of us are also somehow sub-human and must be conquered and/or killed

  • The concept of evolution is an effort to demonstrate that there is no God. That being the case, there are no eternal consequences. Evil is just what the government says it is.

      Evolution = no god = no eternal consequences = evil government. I'm not sure how all this ties together.
