The unbearable lightness of ‘saying’
Posted in: Innovation Tags: Continuity, Future, human, Humanity, Prosapience, social graph, social networking
Judging young net companies by their current state and making that an immutable “It is not the social network sites that are interesting — it is the social network itself” This is just one of the sorts of quips I have read lately on the state of affairs on the net. On the positive side [...]

He then killed himself, which, according to Finnish experts was what [...]
Dual lib
From women’s liberation to men’s liberation to dual liberation The 70s was the era of bra burning in some parts of the world, women demanding equal rights in areas, which were still behind like for example women in the work force, in management and leadership roles and representation in academia [they still are].

I cannot believe this – how cool
Sometimes one just gets blown away how technology makes life easier! I have downloaded Air B2 on to my mac. I downloaded the version 2 of beta to enable Airpress. I had a problem, which was making it easier to interact with my blog on WordPress when I am offline and saving my blogs somewhere [...]

The pendulum swing
Posted in: Foresight, Humanity, Innovation Tags: behaviour, change, Continuity, Future, human, Prosapience
We are a very excitable lot, us humans. When we come up with something new we get all gung ho about its potential and impact. Once we’ve established that it is not going to happen quite so fast then we no longer notice the changes happening around us. Is that because we became rather blaze [...]

Technology – a disruption or a compromise
Posted in: Foresight Tags: behaviour, competition, compromise, Connecting, design, desire, human, technology
Technology layering – obscuring the goals It is uncanny how we seem to be surprised by human behaviors and needs as it relates to technology. Much of technology is a compromise. It is a step on a path to something. What? As we explain to ourselves and our buyers of the need for this device [...]

Language and brain
Posted in: Humanity, Personal Tags: brain, human, Humanity, multilingual brain, Prosapience
Bilingual fun…. Neuroscience is coming up with some fascinating pointers to what goes on when one speaks more than one language.

Presence and relationships
Posted in: Humanity, Personal Tags: communication, human, IM, listening, Prosapience, relationships, sharing
Does IM bring a whole new dimension to our relationship formation? I have had some fascinating experiences with IM. It, as a medium of communication, carries a sharing and caring opportunity that most other communication means do not have. IM caters for listening, even if at times you cross talk. IM caters for venting. IM [...]
Prosapience
Word for future human related foresight Over many years I have struggled with the words human, user, people, consumer as the category of foresight I am passionate about. I have used consumer foresight as I have practised within organisations, who eventually would like to see someone buying what they produce. It troubles me though. The [...]
Automatic typing fingers

Brain and the wonders of it Languages spin magic with me. I speak a number of languages. Depending on the environment I am in, how much I’ve spoken a language, how many years I studied it etc these languages are at different ‘call-out’ levels.
