The Healthcare Reform Debates
You are essentially asking people to come on a journey with you, and trust that you will learn as you go and change course as appropriate. It is thus far more difficult to promote and defend change than to exploit people’s uncertainties and fears to oppose and make the case against it. Many will oppose change because they have vested interests in the way things are now, even if we might be heading for trouble or worse down the line. For the sake of those future generations that will inherit whatever we do or not do today, let’s all hope that we can finally get going with healthcare

Is Cellular Internet Good Enough Yet?
In the cellular network world, 4G is a reference to the ‘4th Generation’ of cellular technology. The first generation was simply the ability to make calls; the second generation introduced some basic data capabilities (mainly text messaging); the third generation (and the current standard) introduced high-speed data transmission for capabilities beyond voice & text (like audio & video); the coming forth generation is designed to increase the speed to make tasks like streaming video much better. Q: Are the cellular based Internet services good enough for me to consider getting rid of my home Internet connection yet? – Sully A: You may have noticed that a lot of advertising and online discussions are starting to pop-up about the upcoming ‘4G’ service from the cellular companies and how much better they will be than the current ‘3G.’

Where Will Your Next Profits Come From?
To understand why, let me lay out what I believe is a more useful way to think of profits — a formulation I've broken out into four parts to make it easier to view profit generation strategically. But the very fact that it's hard to think about profit generation in other terms is what creates opportunities — if not for you, then for focused start-ups unencumbered with your fixed costs or your need to sell at a certain price to maintain margin.
How does your company make its money? I'll wager it's not in the way that you think.

Social Media Usage Policies: Less Lawyering, More Encouraging
Particularly in the current economy, many employees will conclude that the safest course of action is disengagement. Tags: Generational issues Human resources Social medi "Do you spend much time on Facebook?"
It was a standard question in our hiring process, but the job candidate visibly stiffened and said, "A bit, I guess. But not every day.

eLearning Course Development
BJ Schone asks a good question in his post - How do you build eLearning courses? I have built our courses using a custom template created using HTML and JavaScript. They stressed that my courses would be difficult to maintain over time (in case I leave the company). My point of view was a little different: They couldn't believe I wasn't using Lectora or another similar authoring product. I

Our Generation X President's First Year
President Obama is arguably the United States' first President who is a member of Generation X. (I Born in 1961, in my view, he's the vanguard of the next generation leaders .)
While I don't believe any individual is poster child for the shared traits of a generation, I do think some of President Obama's actions reflect characteristics I've seen in other X'ers I've studied. I say "arguably" since the boundary line between Boomers and X'ers is subject to debate. Even more, as I reflect on his first full year in office, I believe some of the frustrations and celebrations

Going Beyond User Generated Software: Web 2.0 and the Pragmatic Semantic Web
Collective intelligence of course is one key aspects of Web 2.0, was ostensibly prompted by something I'm seeing as well, well beyond pure play Web mashups we're beginning to witness a number of companies building end-user solutions that can automatically navigate the Internet, weave together tapestries of online information to generate new, useful results. They can even take it a step beyond: dynamically generated situational Web applications that fully interact with the Web ecosystem. I was traveling most of last week and so was unable to weigh in on the Web 3.0

Global Generations: Focus on India
I'm often asked if generations share common characteristics around the globe. The answer: to some extent, particularly among younger generations whose members were exposed to many of the same events through cable television and the Internet. But among older generations, the shared elements are much less significant and the national characteristics of the generations become increasingly unique.
By definition, a generation is a group a people who, based on their age, share not only a chronological location in history but also the experiences that accompany it .

Open course-wars, redux… the real nastiness is elsewhere
Of course openness is a concept – and of course people are ideological about it’s meaning. am unconvinced this can be done from inside the existing educational institutions, although of course is will need the support of those working in those organisations. So we’ll have to cut the universities (after the civil service and the wages of elected officials, of course). Fighting cc licensed photo shared by Anke L

Klewel: The Next Generation of Conference Videos
Of course, even the best videos won't make up for bad PowerPoint slides , but Klewel has come up with a solution that makes watching conference videos a lot easier and which allows viewers and videographers to focus on the speaker (or the slides) without having to constantly switch back and forth.
Videos from conferences, seminars, and talks have become a standard way to ensure that even those who can't attend an event are able to at least get access to the presentations after the fact. However, video recordings from conferences are often somewhat sub-par and even the best videographers

The Power of Myspace and the 'Myspace Generation'
This of course in no way prevents students from accessing them, even during school hours (as contact may be maintained by mobile) but it does prevent them from being used to support learning. A lot of people focus on the 'MySpace generation', as though use of this technology were an age-related phenomenon. Nothing in principle prevents adults from becoming as adept as the younger generation. Jacinta Gascoigne wrote (in a private forum): > How many of you in the community, have a myspace, facebook or Xanga? I do, have had for a couple of years now.
