Our house
What I'm thinking about, and planning on writing (and podcasting) about soon:
The Problem with Technology & Innovation: Without
technology and innovation, we as a species would have become extinct
before civilization had even begun. The technology and innovation we've
introduced since is now almost certain to make us extinct. I've been
thinking a lot about this, and why it's so.
Vignettes: I'm going to try to pay attention while I'm in Denver this coming week, and come up with material for vignettes #3 and #4.
Improv: What makes us good or bad at improvising ('acting in the moment')? What kinds of things do we do impromptu
(conversation, flirtation, artistic creation, collaboration,
imagination)? When we practice bad improv habits does it actually makes
us worse at it instead of better?
Good Working Models of Social Networking:
Last week I hinted that social networking practices and tools only work
when they're simple and ubiquitously used, which may be why there are
so few success stories of blogs, wikis etc. being introduced in
organizations. I also hinted that it doesn't meet a perceived urgent
need in organizations, but does in our broader society, and that
perhaps therefore (especially large) organizations will be the last,
not the early, adopters of social networking. More thinking on this to
come.
Blog-Hosted Conversations:
Plan is for 30-minute conversations,
once a week, on the subject of identifying and acquiring the essential
skills and relationships we need to be models of a better way to live,
and what those models might look like. The first few will be practice podcasts, and may not make it to the blog.
It seems as if
the changes that were starting to manifest themselves globally last
winter have ground to a halt. We're not going backwards, but we're not
changing direction in a positive way either. It's as if we're just
quietly, hands off the controls, driving off the edge of a cliff, and
nobody's saying anything. Even Al Gore's sounding kinda tired, as if his heart isn't in it anymore. Anyone else noticed that? |
