Once I got caught…..@ TED2009
Posted in: Innovation, Personal Tags: Belonging, Connecting, Creativity, Humanity, Prosapience, TED2009, TED@PalmSprings
This is my TED2009 story [TED = technology, entertainment and design]. It aims to give you a sense of what it feels like to be there. Some of this may seem like an insider’s story and I apologise for that. For 3.5 days we watched, heard, tasted [those who got the bread in Long Beach [...]

Ageism on the net
Posted in: Foresight Tags: ageism, Belonging, Connecting, Future, human, Prosapience
I have been wondering whether I was the only one getting annoyed by some of the ageism on the net… Today I found out at the Enterprise 2.0 Future Exploration that no I am not the only one getting tired of this simplistic cop-out or even worse, ageism by hiring only those under 45, cause [...]
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 [...]
If it can happen in Finland it can happen anywhere

Where balanced people go hunting and not so go on a rampage…. figuring who’s who in the zoo One month ago a student killed eight people at a school in Jokela, which is a small town about 50km from Helsinki the capital of Finland. He then killed himself, which, according to Finnish experts was what [...]

Oh what fun……
Posted in: Personal Tags: Entrepreneur, hunome, playshop, Prosapience, start-up, venture
Sometimes one gets to spend a good chunk of time with people and on a topic which are all exciting. To hear a diversity of views which all build for a bigger and better understanding of the topic at hand, goodie goodie goodie. I spent time over the last couple of days in exactly that [...]

Picture this – a few hours last Sunday filled with aaahhhs and ahas – what a bliss!!! Sydney Opera Concert Hall….Australian Chamber Orchestra performing [worth finding out more here]. What attracted me to this event was partly the combination of music, poetry and theatre framed by Camille Saint-Saens Carnival of the Animals. ….and the main [...]
Human sillyness
Nothing changes while the way in which we express humanity changes In French there is a saying: “Plus ça change plus c’est la même chose”. The more things change the more they are the same. We can sometimes be extremely contradictory between our stated intent and our behavior. I’ve got two examples about this human [...]
The way I fill up my insight fountain

Learn to read in between the lines – for example if in one industry, observe the others Pushing ourselves to observe something across the silo fence can provide a brilliant way to improve products, services, solutions for all. We see these new circumstances better than those who live with the situation all the time. You [...]
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 [...]
Seeing shapes of what might be
Exploring …an excerpt…. McLUHAN: “Sometimes I wonder. I’m making explorations. I don’t know where they’re going to take me. My work is designed for the pragmatic purpose of trying to understand our technological environment and its psychic and social consequences. But my books constitute the process rather than the completed product of discovery; my purpose [...]
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 [...]
