This is a fantastic talk. I especially enjoyed the Paul Otlet video. But what gives with the “flu tracking” system? Sure it’s neat, but aren’t people who Google “symptoms of flu” going to possibly distort information? I can see myriad hypochondriacs influencing assessments of whether there’s a pandemic or not.

Lastly, I love that the fasting growing demographic on Facebook is 55-65 females. This now explains why my brother’s mother-in-law, my fiancee’s mother and my friend’s mom tried to add me as friends in the last few months.

El último párrafo me dolió en lo profundo de mi corazón. Mi mejor amiga bloguera, May, se fue hace dos años víctima de la leucemia. Y aunque ella borró sus blogs, quedan fragmentos de sus post en la página “web archive”. Y aunque ya no está más para chatear conmigo, no puedo borrar su contacto del msn (y creo que no lo haré nunca). Muchas veces buscando cosas en mi blog, encuentro sus comentarios regados por nuestros años de amistad. Y no puedo creer lo presente de sus palabras y que ella ya no esté conmigo.

Lo que en verdad iba a comentarte no era esto. En realidad venía a decirte que no sólo HG Wells imaginó esto antes. Borges también, de una manera muy particular, profunda. Busca el cuento “el aleph”. No sólo en este, en varios cuentos de ese libro se toca el mismo tema.

Me encantó el post.

Great talk. Maybe next time you come to Davis you can give it at UCD. I imagine people would love to have you.

It’s funny, web services are almost a step backwards in computing. Not backwards bad. Substitute terminal for browser and mainframe for cloud, and you are back in the 70’s.

I think that a balance between cloud and personal computing is optimal – Decentralize vital data, centralize intensive computation. Use mobile devices as an infinite network of sensors. These three points formed the basis of a statistics class I took last year.

It would be interesting to hear about the science (statistics, machine learning, computer science) that goes on that allows us to move our computing off of our computers and into the cloud and how these computers “know” what we want to do. But then I’m a scientist, so I always think that the science is interesting.

Now I’m off to participate in encoding the NY Times by filling out your re-Captcha.

a yogi would say that such a network as you envision already exists, that collective consciousness is the basis of all being, and all beings ..

technology is just waking us up to what already is ..
