Rulers of the Cloud: Google Becomes the Cloud, Search is a Feature
It's "open" mantra gives the company the ability to see a whole generation into the future of information channel disruption. We'd like to suggest that in 2010, the company is not shy about stepping towards its future and will use its power, technology, and cash to stir it up. Perhaps being open, or transparent, gives the company a unique advantage in being prepared for a cloud future.
The shortest way to describe this is that Google is no longer a verb. It's becoming a noun.

DARPA's Smart Blimp: Mysterious, Hovering Future of Battlefield Surveillance
In the future DARPA's ISIS blimp may be hovering above the horizon near to conflict zones, feeding real time radar data to troops and smart weapons from on high. When its orbiting in the operational zone it harnesses solar energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, which it then recombines in a fuel cell at night to generate electrical energy. True to its name, it's also a little more magical than the Goodyear blimp as it's almost totally automated.
In fact, the Integrated Sensor Is the Structure has almost nothing in common with the Goodyear aircraft apart from its shape

Four Ways to Keep the Museum Experience Relevant
Attendance surpassed projections and 1,700 new memberships were generated just from people waiting in line for the exhibition. The medium of social media did not become the museum's promise, but a means to connect with a new generation of potential patrons. By staying true to its purpose, the museum was able to be relevant to this new generation without alienating its traditional patrons. Ziba Design helped create the massive exhibition, China Design Now which recently closed in Portland, Oregon. Steve McCallion files his last report on how the experience transformed the city

The Über-Connected Organization: A Mandate for 2010
As we scan the workplace of the future, we see that everything we know about work — where we work, how we work, what skills we need to stay employable, what technologies we use to connect with colleagues — is changing. And these changes will only continue to accelerate as we move toward 2020, as the Millennial Generation will comprise nearly half of the workforce by 2014 .
Think about your organization and ask yourself these two questions:
Are external social media sites restricted or blocked while at work?

Futures of the Internet
Earlier this year the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project and Elon University conducted research toward The Future of the Internet IV , the latest in their survey series , which began with Future of the Internet I – 2004 . This latest report includes guided input from subjects such as myself (a “thoughtful analyst,” they kindly said) on subjects pertaining to the Net’s future. We were asked to choose between alternative outcomes — “tension pairs” — and to explain our views. Here’s the whole list:

Tips for Building Next Generation Web 2.0 Applications
Expo next week in San Francisco on building next-generation Web 2.0 Next generation Web apps are also much more social than in the past with features such as friends lists, activity streams, and aggregation from other social sites as well as using that information to really learn about your customer like Facebook does [Paul Buchheit.] I'm planning to build a Ruby on Rails REST API during the session based on the positive experiences we had a few weeks ago with Rails 2.0. The very latest I've been spending a good amount of time the last several weeks getting ready for the workshop session I'll be giving at Web 2.0

Why Generation X Has the Leaders We Need Now
William Strauss and Neil Howe, coauthors of Generations , posit that each generation makes a unique bequest to those that follow and generally seeks to correct the excesses of the previous generation. They argue that the Boomer excess is ideology and that the Generation X reaction to that excess involves an emphasis on pragmatism and effectiveness.
As many The book I've written based on those conversations, safely in the hands of the publisher and due out in December, includes many of your voices - including quotes from your responses to posts on this site. Through this

Generations in China
Many thanks to all who joined the discussion several weeks ago regarding generations in India. This generation learned that affiliating with the "right" people was essential for survival, advice they undoubtedly offered to their children.
Members of this generation in China grew up with the belief that loyalty to the state and institutions would be rewarded, questioning authority was unacceptable, education was unnecessary, and anything "foreign" or "old fashioned" was unwanted. I hope those of you who grew up in China will share your formative experiences and the resultant conceptual models that influence your view of today's world.

The Future of Online Learning: Ten Years On
An MS-Word version of this essay is available at [link] In the summer of 1998, over two frantic weeks in July, I wrote an essay titled The Future of Online Learning. (Downes, We want a plan,” said my managers, and so I outlined the future as I thought it would – and should – unfold. In the ten years that have followed, this vision of the future has proven to be remarkably robust. Downes, 1998) At the time, I was working as a distance education and new media design specialist at Assiniboine Community College, and I wrote the essay to defend the work I was doing at the time. “We

Did China's Nuclear Tests Kill Thousands and Doom Future Generations?
Almost 20 million people reside in Xinjiang, and Tohti believes that they offer unique insight into the long-term impact of radiation, including the relatively little studied genetic effects that may be handed down over generations. Enver Tohti remembers the week that it rained dust. That summer of 1973 he was in elementary school in Xinjiang Province, China’s westernmost region, which is inhabited mostly by Uygurs, one of the country’s minority ethnic groups. “There

Observations from a Student Leadership Summit
The members of the crucible generation, as Warren Bennis calls them , really do have a more collaborative and less competitive orientation then we ever did. One of the leaders of the future spoke about how many people asked her if they could touch or feel her hair. The older generation has a significant contribution to make--in mentoring. Jim Collins , the dinner speaker on the final day of the summit, talked about Last week I had the opportunity to participate in the Student Leadership Summit , the inaugural event of the Frances Hesselbein Global Academy for Student Leadership and Civic Engagement , at the University of Pittsburgh.

Shift Happens – The Future of Advertising
want to be clear: while I am skeptical about the long-term future of advertising as paid placements of messages, marketing becomes more and more important in an era of abundance. In particular, look for ecosystems with platforms and services that generate increasing value as the number of participants expands.
(PS In a world of rapid change, shift piles upon shift. One can get thoroughly confused and draw the wrong conclusions by focusing on one change while losing sight of the shifts that are coming up.
