So very glad to be invited to join the discussions in New Delhi at the #CyFy2022 conference. Looking forward to returning to India November 29 to be part of the panels and private roundtable discussions at the annual Carnegie India Global Technology Summit! #GTS2022 ORF

Important thread.

A nice concise summary of how technology often evolves.

Me : I call this the 'war', the diffusion of the more industrialised form of a tech which tends to be highly disruptive. It's part of a cycle I nicknamed peace, war and wonder. We have multiple overlapping waves at any time.

Me : Even tech evolves relatively slowly but not as slowly as management practices. Take 3D printing. When was the first 3D printer?
X : 2000s?
Me : 1968. Roughly about the same time as the first VR system.
X : What?
Me : Yep. 50+ years old, still evolving. Compute is 80+.

The use of laser projection to protest Russia BUT ALSO publish anti-semitism should make you simultaneously ask

10 arguments against climate change people sent me today* and 10 Global Weirding episodes I made years ago that debunk them: A fun thread

* yes, literally today.

Let’s face it: we are at a critical point in our country, w a real possibility of losing our democracy, and sliding into an autocracy, and a period where real violence, incited by some of our own political actors and media owners, could prevail. We need to fight back. Here. 8

I found a place where I could be candid about my own traumas, including the loss of my son, & be surrounded by warmth and love. I could tweet about my dog lost in downtown DC and have 28,000 people respond, both with sympathy and calls to help keep a lookout to find him. 5

Twitter as reading list. My bibliographies are so much more interesting and diverse because I follow key people in my field on Twitter. #TrainTheAlgorithms !
