Creative Commons in Torshavn Faroe IslandsMathias Klang
This document discusses the history and evolution of copyright law from the Statute of Anne in 1710 to modern times. It notes how digital technologies have made copying and sharing content much easier, challenging existing copyright models. It also discusses the rise of user-generated content and social media platforms between 1999-2009. The document advocates for more flexible copyright models like Creative Commons to better accommodate new technologies and promote access to and sharing of information.
1) Alumni of Stanford University feel strongly connected to their alma mater and frequently start technology companies in Silicon Valley or become donors and advisors. David Kelley of IDEO exemplifies giving back by teaching at Stanford in addition to running his company.
2) John Hennessy, the current dean of Stanford engineering, co-founded MIPS Computing after taking a sabbatical from Stanford, showing the fluid movement between academia and industry.
3) Yahoo co-founders Jerry Yang and David Filo began working on lists of their favorite websites while graduate students at Stanford, which eventually led to the successful founding of Yahoo after they were given flexibility by the engineering school.
The document discusses the changing media landscape and how media companies need to adapt. It notes that digital consumers are already present in Africa and now is the time for media houses to engineer change. Some ways the media landscape has changed include fast context switching, thin slicing of information, following interest trails through linked content, and audiences that are distracted but rewired to thrive in chaotic digital environments. Traditional hierarchical media structures need to become more open, community-oriented, and able to rapidly produce multimedia content.
The Second Machine Age: An Industrial Revolution Powered by Digital TechnologiesCapgemini
The interview discusses the impacts and implications of emerging digital technologies. Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee explain that the world is entering a "Second Machine Age" where machines are able to perform cognitive tasks previously done by humans. This will have widespread economic and social effects and transform organizations. They emphasize that technology will significantly disrupt jobs but can also create new opportunities if individuals and organizations adapt skills. Overall, the key message is that emerging technologies will continue advancing rapidly, and a proactive response is needed to harness potential benefits and address inequalities.
The document discusses the transition to the "Second Machine Age", where computers, software, big data, and machine intelligence are increasingly able to perform tasks that were previously only doable by humans. This represents a shift from the first Industrial Revolution where machines augmented physical human power. The automation of mental work could both complement and substitute for human labor. While digital technologies create economic growth, they also risk widening inequality between high-skilled workers and those with mid- or low-skills, between capital and labor, and between "superstar" companies and others. Addressing these challenges will require reinventing society and the economy to keep up with accelerating technological change.
The document discusses how the second machine age is unfolding due to digitization and advances in technology. To succeed in this new age, students need to develop skills in ideation, pattern recognition, and complex communication. While technology is increasing economic bounty, it is also exacerbating inequality in wealth, income, and mobility. Winner-take-all markets reward relative over absolute performance, contributing to this growing inequality unless addressed.

This document discusses the impact of technology on education. It contains quotes and statistics about how technology is changing the nature of jobs and skills needed for students. It argues that schools need to prepare students for an uncertain future by teaching them critical thinking, collaboration, creativity and citizenship using technology as a tool rather than an event. The future will be defined by our ability to learn, unlearn and relearn continuously.
In the early days of product development, the technology is inferior and lacking in performance. The focus is very much on the technology itself. The users are enthusiast who like the idea of the product, find use for it, and except the lack of performance. Then as the product becomes more mature, other factors become important, such as price, design, features, portability. The product moves from being a technology to become a consumer item, and even a community.
In this lecture we explore the change from technology focus to consumer focus, and look at why people stand in line overnight to buy the latest gadgets.
The document discusses the concept of the adjacent possible, which is the idea that inventions emerge when the necessary enabling technologies are available to support them. It provides examples throughout history of how this has occurred, such as the telephone being invented in 1876 because the necessary technologies of electricity, wires, and batteries were available, whereas they were not in 1826. It also discusses concepts like Moore's Law, exponential growth, enabling technologies, prevailing technologies, layers of technology, and how perceptions of what is possible can limit or enable new innovations.
History has many examples of great innovators who had difficult time convincing their contemporaries of new technology. Even incumbent and powerful companies regarded new technologies as inferior and dismissed it as "toys". Then when disruptive technologies take off they often are overhyped and can cause bubbles like the Internet bubble of the late 1990s.
In this lecture we look at some examples of disruptive technologies and the impact they had. We look at the The Disruptive Innovation Theory by Harvard Professor Clayton Christensen.
This is the final product of my project for the course "Internet Project" at Telecom ParisTech.
During the first part of my project, I read some books about startups and Silicon Valley (references on the last slide) as well as websites and blogs.
Then, I made this presentation which is mostly about Silicon Valley and how it became the heart of the world's innovation.
I hope you'll enjoy.

Ron Sege, former CEO of Echelon Corp, discusses 3Com's strategy for competing in China against established companies like Cisco. 3Com focused on innovating for the home market in China, dramatically reducing costs, and delivering a new level of service. This allowed 3Com to disrupt the status quo and gain market share from competitors with higher cost structures. 3Com was then able to globalize this strategy and challenge Cisco in global markets.
Internet Entrepreneurship - Lecture for Lahav - Tel Aviv Universityerezp
This document discusses internet trends and innovation. It begins by quoting several predictions from the past that underestimated the growth of computing and the internet. The document then notes that it is difficult to predict major innovations but that consumers often lead new developments. Connecting people has proven to be a key application for the internet. While monetization strategies are unclear, innovation should focus on applications and business models. Intuition is not always reliable so one should try new ideas and innovations. The document concludes by thanking the audience and noting future topics could involve digital identity and individualism online.
For the most time of human history, life was local and linear. Local in the way that anything that happened was close by, a least within a walking distance. Linear in the way that your life was the same as your parents and your children. Nothing ever changed.
Just like the evolution of man, technology improvements follow an evolutionary progress. New ideas or products are to begin with immature and fragile with slow improvements. Then the progress accelerates until the products become mature and taken for granted. Then the cycle repeats and a new layer of technology is added to the previous. This process is exponential. One such observation of exponential is Moore’s Law.
We will explore what exponential means. We look at Moore´s law and The Law of the Accelerating returns.
Empowering tech women to lead in ict fundi serame (share)Fundi Serame
The document discusses empowering women to lead in information and communication technologies (ICT). It notes that when people find meaningful work that utilizes their passions and skills, their lives can achieve greatness. However, women still face challenges and barriers in ICT fields. For the technology sector and society to progress, ICT needs to be more inclusive and representative of diverse perspectives. The document questions how to better coordinate efforts to support women in ICT education, training, and retention so they can innovate and drive the sector forward.
Technology is defined as using skills and knowledge to solve problems and improve lives. It has evolved since early humans first used tools like stones. Modern technology provides medical advances, long-distance communication, easy access to information, and faster transportation. However, it can also be disruptive by distracting children from outdoor activities and real social interaction as they spend more time engaged with smartphones and social media. Additionally, the internet enables the spread of misinformation through fake news and scams, and some teenagers may fail to distinguish online life from reality and prefer virtual interactions to working for their goals in real life.
The document discusses different generations and tools for engaging Generation Y or Millennials. It outlines the key characteristics of Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Generation Y. Generation Y values diversity, change, and wants work to be meaningful. The document then discusses how Web 2.0 tools like social networking, collaboration, and mass participation platforms can help engage Generation Y, who are digital natives accustomed to connecting and multitasking online. These new tools are reshaping how people work and think by enabling more collaboration.
This document provides an overview and summary of key topics from Peter Thiel's CS183: Startup class at Stanford. Some of the main points discussed include:
- Technological progress has slowed significantly since the 1960s, except in the computer industry. Computer science is thus a logical starting place to drive new progress.
- Going from 0 to 1 (innovation) is qualitatively harder than going from 1 to n (copying and scaling existing ideas). Starting a successful company requires solving the difficult problem of 0 to 1 innovation.
- Startups are important because their small size allows them to have lower coordination costs and more flexibility than larger companies or governments. However, starting a startup also carries significant financial
The document discusses how mobile technology is driving a new revolution by changing how people live and connect with each other. It notes that mobile phones now outnumber televisions and that revolutions occur when new behaviors are adopted, not just tools. The document encourages the reader to join the mobile revolution by using their phone to earn and save money, pay bills, buy and sell items, and more in order to take control of their life.
Did you know that the term "Computer" once meant a profession? And what did people or computers actually do? They computed mathematical problems. Some problems were tedious and error prone. And it is not surprising that people started to develop machines to aid in the effort. The first mechanical computers were actually created to get rid of errors in human computation. Then came tabulating machines and cash registers. It was not until telephone companies were well established that computing machines became practical.
First computers were huge mainframes, but soon minicomputers like DEC’s PDP started to appear. The transistor was introduced in 1947, but its usefulness was not truly realized until in 1958 when the integrated circuit was invented. This led to the invention of the microprocessor. Intel, in 1971, marketed the 4004 – and the personal computer revolution started. One of the first Personal Computers was MITS’ Altair. This was a simple device and soon others saw the opportunities.
In this lecture we start our coverage of computing and look at some of the early machines and the impact they had.
Technology has significantly affected society. It has benefits like improving medicine, communication, and business, but also has negatives like computer hackers and inappropriate websites. While inventions like farming and cooking from the Stone Age are still used today, new technologies also have both positive and negative impacts, such as the cotton gin boosting industry while incentivizing slavery, and airplanes and computers providing benefits but also vulnerabilities. Society's constant demand for new products fails to consider technology's full effects on individuals and nations.
This document summarizes a lecture about the diffusion of innovation. It discusses how new ideas are developed through collaboration and exchange. It also discusses how innovations diffuse slowly at first, gaining momentum over time as they are adopted by pragmatists and conservatives seeking convenient solutions. The rate of adoption follows an S-curve, with innovators and enthusiasts driving early adoption and the mass market adopting later. Customers' motivations for adoption change over time, initially valuing the innovation's benefits and later valuing its functionality. Factors like network effects, convenience, and compatibility influence adoption rates.
Every Monday someone in the company gives a 5-10 min talk on something that's on their mind. This week I took some time to reflect on 5 trends in technology that I think are very likely to shape the next ten years of our lives
This document contains 50 quotes about doing the impossible from various notable figures throughout history. The quotes encourage striving for what seems difficult or impossible and emphasize that limitations are often self-imposed. Many convey that the impossible simply means a solution has not been found yet and that impossible challenges can become stepping stones for progress.

This document contains a variety of information on different topics related to education including:
- Data showing differences in vocabulary between children from professional vs working class vs welfare homes.
- Details about facilities at a private UK school compared to state schools.
- Background on the creator of the first IQ test and how it was later adapted and used to construct a racial hierarchy.
- Statistics on ability grouping of UK children by age and birth month.
- Diagrams showing relationships between value, expectation, and application in different school subjects.
- Details of an experiment comparing different types of praise for test scores.
- The Scandinavian phrase "FOAFOY" related to curling parents.
This document discusses strategies for creating the right level of challenge in teaching and learning. It emphasizes that challenge should be at the zone of proximal development where tasks are difficult but still possible. Checklists and rubrics can help students and teachers understand expectations and progress. Praise should focus on effort, strategies and progress rather than innate ability so students see challenges as opportunities to learn and improve. Creating the right environment and high expectations can help ensure all students benefit from an appropriate level of challenge.
This document discusses inspirational teaching and inspired learning. It provides resources for teachers, including slides that can be downloaded from www.challenginglearning.com and inquiry resources from www.p4c.com. The document also discusses the importance of using challenging learning and critical thinking skills to help students progress and develop their understanding.

This document provides information about Philosophy for Children (P4C), a thinking skills program that aims to help children become more thoughtful, reflective, considerate, and reasonable individuals. It discusses the four C's of P4C - collaborative, caring, critical, and creative community inquiry. It also includes examples of questions that could be used in a P4C discussion and describes different levels of skill acquisition from novice to expert based on the Dreyfus model. Finally, it notes that P4C discussions with 3 1/2 year olds could help develop their thinking and reasoning abilities.
This was presented at Lean Kanban Central Europe 2015 (#LKCE15) and focused on how we develop a learning mindset, how adult learners learn in order to promote a growth mindset, and how to influence employees towards a learning mindset.
This document discusses challenges for education in Europe. It references challenges such as wanting schools to emulate successful models from other places like Finland. It also discusses the concept of "the learning pit" which represents cognitive conflict that can lead to more creativity. It provides examples of concepts that have been used to provoke cognitive conflict for different aged groups. Finally, it discusses that eureka moments can come from working through challenges and constructing new understanding out of periods of confusion.
This document discusses challenging learning and leading progress. It explores concepts like the learning challenge, eureka moments from challenge, and cognitive conflict. It also addresses praise for children, different types of praise and their effects, and criticism of boys versus girls. The document provides thinking skills, examples of philosophical questioning techniques, and examines assumptions and truth versus opinion.
This document discusses various topics related to challenging learning, including:
- Alfred Binet argued that intelligence can be developed through training the will, attention, and discipline, rather than being a fixed quantity.
- Carol Dweck's research found that a "growth mindset" which sees intelligence as malleable leads to greater achievement than a "fixed mindset".
- Praise should focus on effort, strategies, and progress rather than innate qualities to encourage a growth mindset and continued learning.
- Asking questions is an effective way to challenge students' thinking and encourage deeper understanding.
This document discusses entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial qualities. It profiles 6 individuals and evaluates how entrepreneurial they were:
1. Bjorn Borg - A tennis champion who founded a successful clothing brand after retiring from sports.
2. Desmond Tutu - A Nobel Peace Prize winner who advocated for social justice in South Africa.
3. Blondinbella - A Swedish blogger and businesswoman who founded multiple companies in fashion and media.
4. Anita Roddick - The founder of The Body Shop cosmetics company who promoted ethical business practices.
5. Thomas Edison - The famous American inventor who held over 1,000 patents and founded research laboratories.

This document discusses organizational readiness to learn and contains three key questions learning organizations should ask themselves. It includes a self-portrait, descriptions of astrological signs, graphs showing progress, and instructions to download slides from a website. The document raises questions about an organization's goals, progress, and next steps to continually improve and learn.
Succeed through your failures 2014 UC Leads McNairSteve Lee
The document is a presentation on learning from failures. It discusses insights from psychologist Carol Dweck, sociologists, and artist Phil Hansen. Dweck's research shows having a growth mindset, where one sees abilities as developable and embraces challenges, leads to greater achievement than a fixed mindset. Sociologists found scientists downplay failures in their work. Hansen advocates embracing limitations to drive creativity. The presentation encourages reflecting on failures and adjusting one's mindset to view challenges as opportunities.
This document discusses ability grouping and praise in education. It summarizes research showing that ability grouping children at a young age and streaming them into "top sets" can negatively impact lower-achieving students. Specifically, research found that 71% of September-born children were placed in top sets compared to only 26% of August-born children. The document also reviews research demonstrating that praising children's intelligence rather than effort can have a detrimental effect on their motivation and resilience. In contrast, praising hard work and the learning process leads to greater persistence and achievement. The document advocates avoiding ability labels and focusing feedback on effort, learning, and growth.
This document discusses creativity, entrepreneurship, and motivation. It explores the balance between nature and nurture, and challenges the idea that certain traits like intelligence or athletic ability are innate gifts. The document suggests that with the right environment and feedback, children's potential can continue developing rather than being fixed from an early age. It provides examples showing how praise for effort rather than intelligence can impact motivation and performance.
Social Media Overview-Bellagio Center Oct. 2011_v_finalChristopher Bishop
This document provides an overview of social media and how it has evolved communication from one-way interactions to conversations. It discusses how audiences have become participants and how trusted sources of information have changed. The value of social media is outlined as sharing expertise, finding expertise, self-promotion, making connections, collaborating, and recommending. Popular social media tools like LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, blogs, and Facebook are described. Examples are given of how information spreads through sharing and retweeting on Twitter and LinkedIn is discussed as the "pleated pants of social networks" and a digital CV for connecting with colleagues and participating in groups. Next steps are suggested for using LinkedIn and Twitter.
This document provides an overview of growth mindset concepts including:
- The difference between fixed and growth mindsets and how they influence priorities and attitudes.
- Ways to develop growth mindsets such as praising actions not abilities and balancing success with challenges.
- Research showing that previewing material can double learning progress and the importance of setting goals.
The document discusses the evolution of technology and the internet over time. It notes how Charles Darwin said that the species most responsive to change would survive. It then provides a brief history of the internet from 1945 to 2008, including the creation of concepts like memex, ARPANET, TCP/IP, and the World Wide Web. It discusses how the internet and technology have grown exponentially, with many more users and hosts connected worldwide. It also discusses trends in computing power increasing and prices decreasing over time, as well as the rise of Web 2.0 and digital natives.
The document summarizes predictions for Manchester in 2030 based on current trends. It notes that technology is advancing exponentially, with more change expected in the next 20 years than the last 100. Some predictions include transportation being dominated by electric self-driving cars and flying vehicles, renewable energy becoming widespread, and a transition to a "care economy" focused on human services as artificial intelligence automates other jobs. Education will need to adapt to training "Generation Z" and fostering collaboration between different generations in the workforce. Cities will be defined by digital connectivity and community, with pollution eliminated.

16 Social Media Trends for 2010 by Agent WildfireSean Moffitt
Sean Moffitt from Agent Wildfre (www.agentwildfire.com) takes a look into social media's crystal ball and makes some smart bets on how this child "social media" will play in teh schoolyard in 2010
The document discusses opportunities and challenges for homeland security and policing in an era of accelerating change. It notes that many areas like technology, globalization, and innovation are accelerating rapidly while others remain constant. It argues that managing globalization and shrinking the "non-integrating gap" between connected and disconnected parts of the world will be important strategic priorities for security.
The document discusses the rise of e-business and the internet. It notes that internet adoption has far outpaced previous technologies. Key points covered include the changing corporate landscape as new internet companies emerge, drivers of change like Moore's law and increasing bandwidth, and strategies for companies to succeed in e-business like obtaining first mover advantage, mass customization, and viral marketing. The document advocates not looking back and instead moving forward with the pace of technological change.
The document discusses the evolution of technology and its effects on society over time. It traces the development of computers from room-sized machines to handheld devices and the growth of the Internet from a small number of hosts to billions of users worldwide. While technology has provided significant benefits, it also presents challenges like increased energy use and pollution, risks of job losses, and dangers from technologies like nuclear weapons. Overall, the document examines both the promise and pitfalls of technological advancement and argues that its impacts depend on how humanity chooses to direct further progress.
The document discusses the evolution of different forms of communication and their impacts on human culture and society.
Speech enabled tribes with 10^7 bits of information, while writing led to city cultures with 10^11 bits enabled by printing and the Renaissance. The digital age now provides 10^25 bits but the impact on culture is still unknown. ICT is transforming work and requiring new skills while also enabling new forms of leaderless social movements and revolutions organized through social media. Overall technology and information availability is accelerating changes to society and culture at an increasing pace.
Technology, Industry, Society- Hopes and FearsSrijnan Sanyal
This document summarizes the development of communication technologies throughout history and their impact on civilizations and societies. It traces the progression from spoken language 100,000 years ago, to written language with papyrus in 2560 BC, the printing press in the 14th-15th century, broadcasting in the 1910s, and the internet in the 1990s. Each new technology advanced communication and fueled maturity of civilizations. The document then discusses hopes and fears around modern technologies like smartphones, social media, 3D printing, and artificial intelligence, and their potential impacts on business, government, jobs, privacy, and more. It emphasizes both the opportunities these technologies provide as well as concerns about controlling access to data and changing labor markets.
Techlogy, Industry, Society- Hopes and FearsSrijnan Sanyal
Over the weekend I spoke at the Leadership Conclave- 2015, organised by Indian Institute of Management- Kashipur. It was a wonderful experience with charming and engaged audience comprised of students, teachers and industry leaders.
This document discusses the evolution of different forms of communication and their impacts on human culture and society. It notes that:
- Speech enabled tribes with 10^7 bits of information, while writing enabled larger city cultures with 10^11 bits through the printing press and Renaissance, leading to the industrial society.
- The digital age now handles 10^25 bits but the long term impacts on culture are still unknown. While technology has advanced rapidly, human brains still primarily operate at the level of speech and learning. Major trends like climate change, demographics, global networks and new technologies are reshaping societies in fundamental ways.
The document argues that we are in the early stages of a new digital revolution that will transform social
The document discusses the difficulty of predicting innovation and the future of technology. It notes that experts are often not as accurate as chance in their predictions, and that truly innovative companies are able to achieve what experts deem impossible or improbable. The document also highlights how industries and leading companies are often disrupted by new innovations and new players that emerge.
The document discusses how technology used in education has changed over time and will continue to rapidly change. It notes how students in the past were criticized for depending too much on newer technologies like ink, paper, pens, and ballpoint pens rather than traditional tools like slates and sharpened pencils. It then outlines many emerging and future technologies that will impact education like faster processors, smart cards, larger storage, and wireless connectivity. It also discusses challenges this will create for instructors, individualization of learning, and changes needed in the structure of educational institutions.
The document discusses setting up a legal entity for a start-up company in China. It notes that there are three main forms - a joint venture with a Chinese partner, a wholly foreign-owned enterprise, or a representative office. However, changing the business organization later can be long and costly. Regulations vary by industry and are updated frequently, so entrepreneurs must be aware of the specific rules for their sector.
The document discusses how to succeed in careers that have not yet been invented. It notes that the concept of work is constantly being reinvented due to technological changes. Emerging careers connect unlikely disciplines and require both new and old skills. The document recommends developing a "future career toolkit" with three parts: defining your unique voice, finding information sources of interest through an "antenna", and connecting with others through a "mesh". This involves researching emerging topics, networking with people in your fields of interest, and continuously adapting your skills to changing career opportunities.
How to succeed at jobs that don't exist yet (RMP Innovation event)Christopher Bishop
This document discusses how to succeed in emerging careers and jobs that have not yet been invented. It recommends developing a "Future Career Toolkit" consisting of Voice, Antenna, and Mesh. Voice involves defining your unique qualities and personal brand. Antenna means researching topics of interest from a variety of sources. Mesh refers to connecting with people and groups in your fields on platforms like LinkedIn. The document argues lifelong learning will be needed as estimates suggest 85% of the jobs today's learners will have in 20 years have not even been invented yet.

How to succeed at jobs that don't exist yet (International School of Mgmt) 24...Christopher Bishop
The document discusses how to succeed in careers that have yet to emerge. It outlines developing a future career toolkit with three components: defining your personal brand or "voice"; researching emerging trends and monitoring relevant sources with your "antenna"; and connecting with others through your professional network or "mesh". New jobs will increasingly combine diverse fields and require both new and old skills taught through flexible learning models. Most jobs today will change or disappear in 20 years due to technological changes.
The document provides guidance on planning a webinar by outlining key items to consider including the topic, title, speakers, run of show, and questions for discussion. The topic should be local or global and interesting to peers. The title needs to be exciting to attract an audience. Speakers could include faculty, students, or thought leaders. The run of show establishes the sequence of intro remarks, body of event with various topics, and closing comments. Additionally, 2-3 questions should be written to seed discussion during the question and answer portion.

How to succeed at jobs that don't exist yet - Texas A&M - Jan 25, 2019Christopher Bishop
This document discusses how to succeed in careers that have yet to be invented. It begins with the speaker's background and provides a socio-historical perspective on technological revolutions and how they have continuously reinvented the world of work. Emerging careers are presented that combine diverse disciplines like nanopharmacology and robotic ethicists. The speaker introduces the "Future Career Toolkit" involving developing one's unique voice, using an antenna to track changes in various fields, and meshing one's skills with others in a network. The toolkit is then demonstrated through exercises for individuals and groups to define their interests and research related topics, people, and groups to connect with regarding future opportunities. The overall message is that to navigate continually changing work landscapes,
How to Succeed at Jobs That Don't Exist Yet (Workshop at Queens College-9/26/18)Christopher Bishop
This document outlines strategies for navigating careers in a changing job market. It discusses how most jobs today did not exist just 5 years ago and predicts that today's learners will have 8-10 jobs by age 38. It introduces emerging career fields like autonomous vehicle operator and mixed reality content consultant. The document presents a "Future Careers Toolkit" involving defining one's unique voice, researching emerging trends through an "antenna" of information sources, and connecting with relevant networks through "meshing". The overall message is that to succeed in future careers, one must cultivate lifelong learning, flexibility and connections across disciplines.
Presentation that I delivered at "Accelerate AI, Europe 2018" in London on Sept 19, 2018. My focus is on socio-cultural perspective as well as proving information about various tools, vendors and partners available to help companies get started using AI.
Artificial intelligence will transform many industries just as electricity did in the past, with AI now seen as a strategic priority for most businesses. While AI will both create and replace jobs, it provides opportunities for small businesses to better compete and allows large firms to operate more efficiently. The document discusses how companies can get started with AI through existing vendor software, chatbots, making applications smarter, or using open source tools for specific projects.
This document discusses how AI is transforming industries just as electricity did 100 years ago. It notes that 90% of the world's data was created in the last two years and AI is being used to make lives easier, safer and more comfortable through powerful self-learning algorithms and deep reinforcement learning. An example is provided of an AI diagnosing pneumonia better than a radiologist after only two months of training. The document also discusses how AI can save on energy costs and addresses that technological revolutions have historically led to growth and improved living standards. It concludes by noting our role is to balance corporate and humanitarian goals with AI and focus on issues like bias, ethics and connecting humans and machines.
The document discusses how jobs are changing rapidly due to new technologies and provides advice on how to succeed in careers that may not exist yet. It notes that 85% of jobs in 20 years don't exist today and the average person will have 8-10 jobs by age 38. It recommends developing an "antenna" by monitoring career trends, focusing on your skills, an authentic "voice" to establish expertise, and expanding your "mesh" network of connections to find new opportunities. The goal is to constantly adapt by finding new ways to apply your knowledge and connecting with others.
Christopher Bishop discusses how jobs are rapidly changing due to new technologies. The US Department of Labor predicts that today's learners will have 8-10 jobs by age 38. Many current jobs did not exist 5 years ago, and 15% of future jobs have not been created yet. Bishop argues that general skills like problem solving, leadership, humility, understanding cause and effect, and expertise will be more important than test scores. Employers will care more about what people can do with their knowledge rather than how they learned it. Bishop encourages the audience to stay excited and prepared for an uncertain future.
This document discusses how communication and media have evolved rapidly in the 21st century. New technologies and social media have disrupted traditional top-down communication models and given audiences new ways to participate in and shape conversations. Companies no longer fully control their messages as paid, owned, and earned media have all changed. Various new tools for social media marketing, augmented reality, natural language generation, and more are transforming how information is analyzed and shared. The presentation provides exercises to help participants explore emerging communication techniques and channels and how to best prepare for success in this changing environment.
My talk was titled "Connecting science and the arts for successful careers" - sharing my nonlinear, multi-modal career path as well as socio-historical perspective on tech and job disruption and a description of several future jobs.
Presentation I delivered at Stern School of Business/NYU on Nov 21, 2013. Describes my multiple careers, impact of technology on all disciplines and guidance for how today's learners can be successful in the global borderless workplace: antenna, network and brand.

My name is Christopher Bishop from the class of 1972 and I am a currently working as a communications specialist in IBM Global Technology Services. I am delighted to be here. Let me give you a sense of what I am going to speak about this morning…
Why me? Multiple careers over 35 years Kind of the poster child for 21 st century work model Graduated with a BA in German literature-minored in music – translated five short stories into English by eccentric post WW II German authors Took 16 th century poetry, dance classes, jazz, played in two symphonies, did gigs with my rock band at ski resorts
6 months after graduating, I got a gig with McKendree Spring. 6 months after that I was touring England and Germany. Toured all over the US and many gigs in Canada. Recorded three albums – one at the Manor, Oxford England, Electric Ladyland- (Hendrix’s studio on 8 th St in New York) and Bearsville in Woodstock, where the Band, Bob Dylan and Todd Rundgren among other made records…when the band broke up I moved to New York City REINVENTION
Moved to NYC in 1976 and worked as a freelance musician –played in dozens if not hundreds of bands over 16 years – Robert Palmer, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Skunk Baxter On a rooftop in NYC in 1981 with Baird Hersey (class of 73) pop-rock band MATSUO-BEBOP REINVENTION I was also playing in on average 12 different bands at the same time in styles ranging from country to rock to punk to R&B to jazz MOVE TO JINGLES_REINVENTION
Wrote music for radio and TV commercials using a Synclavier – state of the art (at the time) digital musical instrument – Gimme A Break – Kit Kat spot MOVE TO COMPUTERS - REINVENTION
REINVENTION – MOVE TO WEB Worked at several seminal interactive agencies in New York – CKS Partners, Eagle River Interactive, i3 Media – made the transition by learning, reading, talking to people
REINVENTION – VARIOUS ROLES Hired as an Account Manager in Corporate Internet Programs in 1998, have worked in Web production, business strategy development, and communications NEW TECH
Very active now in Virtual Universe Community, conducted many pilot programs using virtual worlds for HR activities, manager training, onboarding new employees in BRIC countries, social events, meetings, training, collaboration
Still playing – Block Island last summer
Now working in executive communications in IM Pei pyramid in upper Westchester county
When I graduated in 1972, there were no: no personal computers, no World Wide Web, no cell phones, no Facebook, no DVDs’ also - no hybrid cars, no blogging, no texting, no Leet Speak, no cloning, no mapping the human genome, no space shuttle, no microloans, no wireless power, no black president, Tell BlackBerry story
Every 40 – 60 years over the past three centuries, society has witnessed a great surge of business innovation sparked by technological advances which usher in a revolutionary new era . Each follows a predictable pattern of two distinct periods of 20-30 years. There have been five such surges in modern history according to Carlota Perez, who teaches at Cambridge University, wrote a very important book called "Technological Revolutions and Financial Capital," about how the world economy has developed. She found a consistent pattern in how these phases emerge, I’m going to spend a little time on this historical approach, to give you a sense of the basic logic, because the same pattern plays out time and again. We see this pattern around every major new technology . Something new emerges, and all of a sudden we need to go back and deal with some of the societal infrastructural issues . Then the technology can take off. In the late 1840s, investors poured money into new railways with little regard for where they were routed, how well they were designed or how many rail lines the market really needed. And there was no thought given to standards, so when two lines approached each other, they'd find their tracks didn't line up. - To some, this period is a much more boring affair. All the quick bucks have been made. The emphasis is no longer on raw technology but on how to apply and capitalize on it. Period of invention generates wholly new products, markets and industries and a new infrastructure to support its growth. Speculative capital inevitably leads to a bubble, an economic meltdown and a correction. Market adjusts, resulting in extended period of "deployment“ The same pattern occurred with steam railways in 1829; with steel, electricity, and heavy engineering in 1875; with oil, autos, and mass production in 1908; and right up to the present era, which she calls information and telecommunications, starting in 1971. that we're just starting the deployment phase of the information and telecommunications era, which will take perhaps 25 to 45 years to get really baked into our society.
Newer technologies have been taking hold at two and three times previous rates Years to reach 50m in marketplace adoption – Radio – 38 TV – 13 Internet – 4 iPod 3 Facebook - 2 200 million users of My Space as of Sept 2006 –If it were a country it would be the 11 th largest in the world – between Japan and Mexico Number of text messages sent and received every day exceeds the number of people on the planet 40 exabytes (4.0 X 10 19 th power) of new information will be generated this year-more than in the previous 5000 years it’s a good time to be having this discussion about the changing nature of innovation. Because as this chart illustrates, there’s simply no doubt that the pace of innovation, and the time between important new innovations, is changing. Today, new technologies are taking hold at double or triple the previous rate. Compare the penetration of cell phones in our society with the telephone. The invention of the telephone took nearly 40 years to reach the same societal penetration as cellular technology has in five years. All of which comes with implications for about ability to absorb, adapt and respond to the policy and ethical implications that always accompany technical advances.
*2 billion people on the Web by 2011, according to the Computer Industry Almanac. **A trillion connected objects, according to "From Autonomous to Cooperative," ERCIM Workshop on eMobility.
