This demonstrates why building a special-purpose network is such a dumb boondoggle idea. We already have connected cards! Albeit via cell phones. Crowd-sourcing the info is a neat hack but the question is whether people will understand the larger lesson of using generic infrastructure and moving towards a public packet infrastructure rather than continuing with the idea of a separate network for each purpose. We see lessons unlearned in efforts to bring back AM radios just to get one message type brute force style by broadcasting to everyone. This limits which messages can be sent -- no targeting and annoys everyone. Imagine if we could assume IP connectivity in cars. We already see this in cars as a premium offering so you can stream while driving. Who needs even an FM radio, which is lucky if it picks up local signals as you drive. IP connectivity taps into a world (literally) of content? The idea of confining emergency works to a small band is another boondoggle that costs lives when we could get access to the entire capacity and assume video and resilience. So, back to calling the crowd-sourcing a hack. Yeah, but it's one that is implemented as software and can rapidly improve as we learn rather than waiting for a perfect solution, After all life is a beta test to the end. Getting amber alerts on all my devices is a good example of the problem of well-designed systems that can't evolve. Give me a working hack so we can learn by doing.

People say the best Camera is the one they have with them. Similarly, the “best” TV is the one in their hand. This makes me unsure about "Spatial Computing" aka Internet on Face. I love electronics, so these days I've got a 85 inch TV in my lounge, I've got a Devialet sound system, and a high end Samsung Dolby Atmos system, which I made work together amazingly, and these provide a great backdrop for me watching videos on my phone. I sometimes even turn them on. And there I sit with a catalogue of 4K Oscar winning movies, Emmy winning material, the best concerts ever filmed, brilliant documentaries, tens of Billlions of dollars of crafted material , perfected by the greatest talent around a mere 2 clicks away. Alas, the algorithms have served me shaky video of a funny thing on a train , and here I am , transfixed by whatever automatically fills my gaze. We always do what's easiest, not what's best. We buy things from stores we hate because it’s better than getting off the sofa. We use what's on us, over better but further away. We are not lazy, we are overwhelmed, we have decision fatigue. It’s just, just remember that most brilliant better new technology maybe won’t fill voids like logic suggests . And explore the idea that “easier” is the best untapped lever in modern marketing .

Mind-reading Headset Lets You Google Just With Your Thoughts. A mind-reading device can answer questions in your head. It works by picking up signals sent from your brain when you think about saying something. SILENTLY think of a question and I will answer it. That might sound like a magic trick, but it is the promise of AlterEgo, a headset that lets you speak to a computer without ever uttering a sound. It’s not quite a mind reader, but it is close. The device brings us a step closer to a world where we can interact seamlessly with machines using only our thoughts. AlterEgo’s creators believe that rather than embarrassingly saying things like “OK Google” or “Hey Siri” and then … By Chelsea Whyte Arnav Kapur models the AlterEgo device he co-created Lorrie LeJeune, MIT Source- New Scientist -This Week,4April 2018

In today's digital age, I've noticed a trend of excessive reliance on devices. This blog reflects on whether we are inadvertently sidelining our intuition and bodily cues, allowing the noise of the outside world to drown out the whispers of our inner voice. #artificalintelligence #technology #intuition #innervoice #BodyWisdom
