The first person to send me the link of the article with the following passage in it will get a code for a free audiobook of "The Two But Rule: Turn Negative Thinking Into Positive Solutions." Happy searching! Here's the passage: "Knowledge of a company’s emerging intentions gives the bearer great power over that organization, power to help and also to do outright harm. Once exposed to Adobe’s basic idea and business model dilemma, Jobs could have developed another graphics language, if he intended, and used it in Apple products instead of collaborating. Patent protection would likely not have stopped this. In many fields, there are so many ways to approach a technical solution that the important thing is not the invention but the general concept. Often the sensitive knowledge is not the technology itself but simply the validation of knowing someone is considering a market play with it. In some cases, firms in developing economies needed only get the vaguest sense of what a prospective partner had in mind to build the offering on their own and start selling it themselves. Advocates cry for uniform intellectual property rules and enforcement in countries like China and India and forget that often what is appropriated would not be considered IP theft in the first place."

"I often hear my ( #SEND) children sharing their thoughts with me, and I find myself quickly jotting down their sentences on a whiteboard for them to copy. However, there's simply not enough time to complete the task," explained a teacher to me. "Have you ever considered using #speechtotext technology?" I suggested. "What...?" the teacher seemed intrigued. "Well, imagine having an iPad for each table. Children who struggle can dictate what they want to write, and you can model how to use speech-to-text on the iPad. Just tell the iPad the sentence, and the rest will be magic. Children can then copy from the iPad, freeing up your time to support others," I proposed. "What do you think will happen if I try this?" the teacher asked. "I believe it will save time, allow you to help more children, and demonstrate the use of technology," I replied. Know your children, understand their #needs, and #adapt to your setting to #reduceworkload, one step at the time. #assistivetechnology #educationforall #teacher #school Photo by Flaticon

When it comes to choosing the right computer, there are several factors that need to be taken into consideration. The first step is to determine your specific needs and requirements.

Or are you a professional who requires a high-performance machine for tasks such as video editing or graphic design? #choosingtherightcomputer #computer #computerspecifications

Have you heard of retronyms? They’re another fascinating quirk of the English language and showcase how much things change over time. So, what exactly are retronyms? They’re terms created to distinguish between older and newer versions of something, often in response to technological or societal changes. Here are a few examples: 🔷 ‘Hardback books’ – coined when paperbacks were introduced (way back in time!). 🔷 ‘Analogue clocks’ – to differentiate them from digital clocks. 🔷 ‘Landline phones’ – crucial in the age of mobile phones. Retronyms brilliantly reflect how our culture and technology evolve – and remind us of just how rapidly things change! What retronyms have you come across recently? #proofreader #proofreading #englishlanguage

Cliché linked in post time. Been working out how I can apply this rule to all elements of my studio and business operation - via Atomic Habits "Shifting from Goals to Systems "Forget about goals and focus on systems instead." "Goals are good for setting a direction but systems are best for making progress." Highlighting the importance of a systematic approach to habit formation." I feel like 95% of all audio engineering marketing and fomo comes from the desire to test, try, add etc when it's not relevant to the system at all. Especially adding expensive analogue hardware. People talk a lot about "filling space". But does that apply to your system or your goals of being someone with more expensive stuff?
