The deepest longing of the human heart Transcending space and time To Feel connected And bBe refreshed Stimulated with new ideas Relaxed from transcendant visions

We all need our Tribe.  That’s why we created the Internet.

Chris Dancy Speaks on Identity and Why We Don't Exist Without Record - CyborgCamp MIT 2014

Incredibly smart perspectives on the quantified self, how we owe it to ourselves to track what we do and how to be more kind.

"From Solid to Liquid to Air: Cyborg Anthropology and the Future of the Interface" Synopsis: We are now entering into an era of liquid interfaces, where buttons can be downloaded at will, and software flies through the air. Phones have been untethered from their cords and are free to colonize our pockets. They cry, and we must pick them up. They get hungry, and we must plug them in. We increasingly live on interfaces, and it is their quality and design which increases our happiness and our frustration. We are tool using creatures. Prosthetics touch almost every part of our lives. Until recently, humans have used their hands and bodies to interface with objects. Early interfaces were solid and tactile. Now, the interface can be anywhere. The best interfaces compress the time and space it takes to absorb relevant information, and the worst cause us car accidents, lost revenue, and communication failures. This speech will discuss how the field of anthropology can be applied to interface design, and how future interfaces, such as the ones employed by augmented reality, will change the way we act, feel and communicate with one another.

A city – to me – is basically an operating system for people to co-habit a large physical space effectively
