Fred Wilson- A VC- Musings of a VC in NYC
Fred is a long term NYC based VC who funded some of the late 90's Silicon Alley ventures. I noted somebody mentioned Seth Godin above. As Flatiron Partners Fred Wilson was a funder behind Seth's Yoyodyne online marketing company that was sold to Yahoo.
On Fred's blog is a post about "Disruption" and link to the video of a presentation recently given at Google surveying industries and where opportunities for investing in disruption exist. It is highly recommended viewing for a look ahead.
This video explores the changes in the way we find, store, create, critique, and share information. This video was created as a conversation starter, and works especially well when brainstorming with people about the near future and the skills needed in order to harness, evaluate, and create information effectively.
"The future of digital culture-yours, mine, and ours-depends on how well we learn to use the media that have infiltrated, amplified, distracted, enriched, and complicated our lives. How you employ a search engine, stream video from your phonecam, or update your Facebook status matters to you and everyone, because the ways people use new media in the first years of an emerging communication regime can influence the way those media end up being used and misused for decades to come. Instead of confining my exploration to whether or not Google is making us stupid, Facebook is commoditizing our privacy, or Twitter is chopping our attention into microslices (all good questions), I've been asking myself and others how to use social media intelligently, humanely, and above all mindfully. This book is about what I've learned."
"Multi-sensory learning can be a boon to understanding and retention of information, as many studies suggest. This type of experiential learning has been shown to do better than videos when it comes to speed of learning and length of retention."
"Hans Rosling is debunking the River of Myths about the developing world. By measuring the progress in the once labeled "developing countries", preventable child mortality can be history by the year 2030."
The Macmillan Research Showcase was the first, full-day evidence specific conference developed and produced by Macmillan.

This TED talk from Daniel Kahneman has huge relevance for anyone involved in Knowledge Transfer or Knowledge Elicitation work. We know that an individual's recall and their actual experience may be quite different. This excellent talk shows just how different the 'remembering self' can be from the 'experiencing self'.
Using examples from vacations to colonoscopies, Nobel laureate and founder of behavioral economics Daniel Kahneman reveals how our "experiencing selves" and our "remembering selves" perceive happiness differently. This new insight has profound implications for economics, public policy -- and our own self-awareness.
