Yahoo EVP Ash Patel, One Of the First Yahoos, Announces His Departure
Patel says Yahoo is in a transition period but is building the infrastructure it needs to compete in the future. He says he’s going to take a few months off with his family and start to think about the future this summer. He advises a few startups, he says, although he doesn’t seem to be suggesting, yet at least, that a startup is in his future. Ash Patel , a senior Yahoo exec and one of the company’s longest serving employees, will shortly be stepping down. His last day will be next Monday.

Generation I: Middle Children Of The Information Age
At no other time in history, and perhaps never in the future, will there be a group of people whose own growth and maturation is so perfectly reflected in the principal technological and cultural advancement of the age. Every generation thinks that they are the first. The first to feel this way or that, the first to make this or that revelation, the first to do and make things that we find later have been done and made since before we could record their doing and making.

Future: Amazon's 'Think Clouds' are Data Aware
As we understand it from the discussion on stage, a Think Cloud is a "body of knowledge" that is a real-time information base of Amazon cloud that can be pivoted all the way down to the threads and individual data concurrency. or "Do we have encryption set on every cpu that this user's information is stored in memory or on disk". Abstracting storage, At the RSA Keynote a few weeks back, Amazon's Security Lead, Steve Riley participated on a panel with other security leaders of the industry. We were impressed with the openness of all of the participants, and particularly excited

  • The Problem with the Data-Information-Knowledge-Wisdom Hierarchy
    The data-information-knowledge-wisdom hierarchy seemed like a really great idea when it was first proposed. But its rapid acceptance was in fact a sign of how worried we were about the real value of the information systems we had built at such great expense. Where is the knowledge we have lost in the information? What looks like a logical progression is actually a desperate cry for help. The DIKW hierarchy (as it came to be known) was brought to prominence by Russell Ackoff in his address accepting the presidency of the International Society for General Systems

  • The future of the training department
    Most of this training activity assumed that you could prepare people for the future by training them in what had worked in the past. Complexity, or maybe our appreciation of it, has rendered the world unpredictable, so the orientation of learning is shifting from past (efficiency, best practice) to future (creative response, innovation). We march backwards into the future.” by Harold Jarche and Jay Cross Prior to the 20th Century, training per se did not exist outside the special needs of the church and the military.

  • Information Age dawn still breaking
    It’s fun to fact-check a futurist when plenty of future has already gone by. The third wave brings with it a genuinely new way of life based on diversified, renewable energy sources; on methods of production that make most factory assembly lines obsolete, on new, non-nuclear familes, on a novel institution that might be called the “electronic cottage”; and on radically changed schools and corporations of the future. At one level, the industrial revolution created a marvelously integrated Here’s some of what Alvin Toffler wrote thirty years ago in The Third Wave :

  • The future of universities
    The emergence of the networked information economy is unleashing two powerful forces. People can now discover and consume information resources and services globally from their homes. Further, new social computing approaches are inviting people to share in the creation and edification of information on the Internet. How are universities likely to be impacted by current technological trends? Two publications seek to address this question:

  • Organized Information is the Next Moonshot
    As much as I'm a sucker for a great adventure, I think the brave Commander Aldrin asks us to conquer the future with a model from the past. The central theme of the information revolution is that more and more intelligence has simultaneously moved both toward the edge and toward the center. Look how fast the BlackBerry took off in the corporate world once you could access email on the go and how easily it enables both decentralized The media is busy repurposing footage of Buzz Aldrin's desire that President Obama fund a mission to Mars . The biggest bang for the buck is

  • Informal Learning 2.0
    As a result, markets are getting smarter, more informed, more organized. The new e-leaning is much more informal, collaborative and self-directed. This is what we call Informal Learning 2.0 Flipping the 80/20 formal/informal allocation of funds could be a start. Enterprise 2.0 is the use of emergent social software platforms within companies, or between companies and their partners or customers , according to Andrew McAfee’s original 2006 definition.

  • New Technology Supporting Informal Learning
    This work, in turn, is suggesting and supporting the model of learning described in the first section, that of a course network supporting and informing an ever-shifting set of course episodes. Future developments will focus on realizing these concepts as software or at least software prototypes. This is the basis for the models and strategies that characterize what has come to be called Abstract We often talk about games, simulations and other events in learning, but these technologies support only episodic learning. Equally important are those technologies that provide a context

  • Swimming in Data? Three Benefits of Visualization
    They project that in 2012, we will add five times as much digital information as we did last year. I believe that we will naturally migrate toward superior visualizations to cope with this information ocean. In the modern world, new information systems are at the heart of all management processes and organizational activities. "A good sketch is better than a long speech..." -- a quote often attributed to Napoleon Bonaparte The ability to visualize the implications of data is as old as humanity itself.

  • The Web of Identities: Making Machine-Accessible People Data
    In an email, Chris Bizer hinted that a payment model to charge for particular content may come in future. Every application provider implemented its own proprietary ID management to authorize users to log on and implemented its own proprietary user profile system to manage information about its users. In the future, ID providers will loosen their connection to social applications and start taking over management of users' social attributes. In a previous article, we discussed the Web of data , which is about inter-linking open data sets and, thus, turning them into machine-accessible structured data.
