Although each of us is born with proactive brain, it's possible to enhance its performance. Here are some tips:
Give your brain a rich bank of life experiences. Expose it to diverse environments and situations. Increasing the breadth of your experiences provides richer information for your brain to draw on as it helps you anticipate new situations.
Let it borrow from the experiences of others by communicating, reading, or interacting with or about others.
Think about what you want from the future. Take time to reflect on individual and team values and goals, both immediate and down the road. These will help guide your brain as it envisions future scenarios that may best help you achieve your objectives.
Actively ponder future rewards or accomplishments. Emphasize rich, detailed thinking about long-term outcomes. This reduces the lure (and the danger) of instant gratification.
Give yourself periods of relatively uninterrupted thought during which you let your mind wander. Doing this gives the brain's memory system extra time to recombine your prior experiences in ways that can help you envision future possibilities.

"In addition to keeping Apple at bay, DiClemente believes the studios could even survive a scenario in which cord-cutting became so pervasive that distributors were forced to do away with their bundled channel packages. That's because the broadcasters that are their primary clients wouldn't be affected. "The programs airing on the broadcast nets would maintain the reach needed to create demand for that content in later windows," wrote DiClemente."

The glasses are designed primarily for those kinds of scenarios: research projects, testing rooms and simulators - where the thing being looked at isn't just a computer or tablet screen, which would be better served by non-wearable eye tracking like Tobii's EyeX. If you want to study what part of a person's face people look at in various social situations, for example, the Tobii Glasses 2 can tell you.

Why the Internet Freaked Out When Fox Pulled House from Hulu - 0 views

Many observers immediately labeled Fox's block a violation of the principle of "network neutrality"—the idea that Internet service providers should allow subscribers to access all legal content online. Neutrality rules have been the subject of fierce debate in Washington, and activists are constantly on the lookout for perceived anti-neutrality maneuvering.
AdvertisementIf Fox's move violated "neutrality," though, it wasn't in the way we've long defined that term. Advocates for net neutrality rules have mainly been concerned about the power that cable and phone companies can exert on the Internet. The theory is that in most local areas, broadband companies exist as monopolies or duopolies—you can get the Internet from your phone company or your cable company—and, therefore, are in a position to influence online content. What if, for instance, AT&T demanded that YouTube pay a surcharge every time a customer watches a video? To prevent such abuses, the Federal Communications Commission imposed Internet "openness" guidelines (PDF) in 2005, and since then regulators and lawmakers have been arguing about how to make those guidelines both permanent and enforceable.
But this Fox-Cablevision-Hulu scenario turns the neutrality debate on its head. Here, it wasn't the broadband company—Cablevision—that blocked customers' access to content. Instead, it was the content company, Fox, that imposed the ban. Why is that distinction important? Because while it's easy to think of justifications for imposing neutrality regulations on broadband companies, it's less clear how we should feel about imposing rules on content providers. Telecom companies are regulated by the FCC, and there's a long history of the government forcing "openness" rules on public communications infrastructure. If the government can prohibit phone companies from deciding whom you can and can't call, shouldn't we have a similar rule preventing ISPs from deciding what you can get on the Web?

B/c House is awesome, obviously! I bet it's lupus! Srsly though, article talks about how internet content is beginning to be subject to the same bullshit as TV and other traditional media. And net neutrality comes into play of course.

The more likely scenario, I argued, is for apps and websites to become more intertwined. The future of the Internet isn't a choice between these two poles. It is, instead, the story of network connectivity infecting every corner of our lives.
