“Although our grammar schools are teaching a whole generation computer language to adjust to the technological needs of a Stage II [post survival-focused] society, we have neglected to teach this generation relationship language and conflict resolution skills to address the social and psychological needs of a Stage II society. And when it is taught, in countries like Germany, although called social competence it focuses on workplace teamwork - still on survival, breadwinner oriented work goals.” NeedsStillsCountryWholeSchoolLanguageSocialGoalTeachGenerationsTeachingStageTaughtSkillsConflictComputerSurvivalFocusedPsychologicalPostsGermanyAddressesResolutionTeamworkTechnologicalWorkplaceGrammarCompetenceNeglectedThis GenerationConflict ResolutionComputer LanguageGrammar SchoolBreadwinnerPsychological Needs Author:Warren Farrell
“Despite the Internet 's origin in the late 1960s as a government sponsored means of communication between the Department of Defense, private industry, and academia, it has been at its best and generated the greatest economic, social, and technological benefits since it was 'liberated' by the hordes of 'geeks' who were originally hired to run it by employers who were not themselves conversant with computers, and couldn't tell when their employees were exchanging official traffic or trading dirty jokes and recipes for marijuana brownies.” MeanHas BeensGovernmentRunningSocialEconomicCommunicationIndustryInternetBenefitsComputerLateJokesDefenseDespiteDirtyOfficialsDepartmentEmployeeMarijuanaTrafficTechnologicalRecipesTradingGeekEmployers1960sLiberatedAcademiaHordeExchangingBrowniesMeans Of CommunicationDirty Jokes Author:L.

“Holland's and Kauffman's work, together with Dawkins' simulations of evolution and Varela's models of autopoietic systems, provide essential inspiration for the new discipline of artificial life, This approach, initiated by Chris Langton (1989, 1992), tries to develop technological systems (computer programs and autonomous robots) that exhibit lifelike properties, such as reproduction, sexuality, swarming, and co-evolution.” TryingInspirationTogetherEvolutionDisciplineEssentialsComputerApproachModelsProgramPropertySexualityWorking TogetherArtificialTechnologicalRobotsExhibitsReproductionAutonomousSimulationHollandArtificial Life Author:John Henry Holland
“Nowadays, it is possible to perform various forms of Low-Impact listening via the telephone. The advent of technological advances such as computer games and online services (like ones that let you check stocks) have enabled Low-Impact listeners to endure family phone calls much longer than in the past.

“Of the properties of mathematics, as a language, the most peculiar one is that by playing formal games with an input mathematical text, one can get an output text which seemingly carries new knowledge. The basic examples are furnished by scientific or technological calculations: general laws plus initial conditions produce predictions, often only after time-consuming and computer-aided work. One can say that the input contains an implicit knowledge which is thereby made explicit.” MadeLawGamesLanguageConditionsExampleProduceComputerMathematicsPropertyMathematicalCarriePlusPeculiarFormalTechnologicalPredictionsInitialsConsumingCalculationsInputExplicitOutputImplicitTime ConsumingNew Knowledge Author:IU?.

“Atari always was a technology-driven company, and we were very keen on keeping the technological edge on everything. There's a whole bunch of things that we innovated. We made the first computer that did stamps or sprites, we did screen-mapping for the very first time, and a lot of stuff like that. We had some of the most sophisticated sound-creating systems, and were instrumental in MIDI.” FirstsMadeWholeStuffSoundCompanyTechnologyComputerCreatingFirst TimeEdgesDrivenScreensBunchSophisticatedTechnologicalStampsMappingAtariMidi Author:Nolan Bushnell
“What good is it to continue to focus on the exterior technological wonders before us - from indefinite life extension to computer/mind interlinks to unlimited zero-point energy to worm-hole intergalactic space travel - if all we carry with us is an egocentric red-mem Nazis and KKK? Do we really want Jack the Ripper living 400 years, zipping around the country in his hypercar, unleashing misogynistic nanorobots?

“Silicon Valley, after all, feeds off the existence of computers, the internet, the IT systems, satellites, the whole of micro electronics and so on, but a lot of that comes straight out of the state sector of the economy. Silicon Valley developed, but they expanded and turned it into commercial products and so on, but the innovation is on the basis of fundamental technological development that took places in places like this [MIT] on government funding, and that continues.” StatesWholeGovernmentExistenceEconomyProductsDevelopmentInternetComputerBasesInnovationFundamentalsValleysTechnologicalFundingSatellitesSiliconSilicon ValleyElectronicsMitTechnological DevelopmentGovernment Funding Author:Noam Chomsky

“Science fiction does not attempt to predict. It extrapolates. It just says, "What if?" not what will be? Because you can never predict what will happen, particularly in politics and economics. You can to some extent predict in the technological sphere - flying, space travel, but even there we missed badly on some things, like computers. No one imagined the incredible impact of computers, even though robot brains of various kinds but the idea that one day every house would have a computer in every room and that one day we'd have computers built into our clothing, nobody ever thought of that.” KindHouseBrainOne DayComputerScience FictionIncrediblesVariousFlyingWhat IfTechnologicalSpace Travel Author:Arthur C.

“It is possible in theory and I think true in practice that centralization could have been the optimal solution at the beginning of the computer era and now, but not in between.
