Net Neutrality, say what?
There is a movement, a huge idea on how to control the Internet and lock it down so you can’t do what you want or see what you want. In fact, you will pay even more to participate on this open (closed)network called the Internet. I’m not sure I fully understand how but the concept does seem to have merit.
The idea of Net Neutrality isn’t as far fetched as it may sound. There are websites dedicated to this very topic and what you can do to try and stop it. So what does this really mean anyway? The following is taken from a site called: http://www.neutrality.ca
It is the principle that consumers should be in control of what content, services and applications they use on the public Internet.
It’s a simple concept that has wide-ranging implications on how the Internet operates.
“When I invented the Web, I didn’t have to ask anyone’s permission. Now, hundreds of millions of people are using it freely. I am worried that that is going end” – Sir Tim Berners Lee.
So what does this mean to your business on the Internet? Well, it could mean absolutely no one will see your site or know about your product unless you pay for a service to let the world know about you. You already pay for Internet connectivity, but wait, this will go even farther.
Net Neutrality even has logo’s you can put on your site to promote the prevention of Net Neutrality. Just when you think you have freedom to use the Internet someone has figured out how to take it from you. I wondered how long it would take for the government to try and do this, it turns out it’s all the ISP’s and TV Executives are the brains behind it all. Most of these TV Exec’s had absolutely nothing to do with the Internet’s development!
Well enough said, do visit the neutrality.ca website and find out more and how you can participate. And here is a video clip for a more formal presentation:

The Last Lecture By Randy Pausch
I heard about Randy awhile back but never heard his story or his lecture until just a few days ago. We all go through life thinking we have a tomorrow and worry about all the wrong things while expecting there is a tomorrow. Randy wrote a book that was directed and for his children, the biggest head fake of all, it wasn’t for us.
We are blessed by Randy’s work and his wisdom each and everyday and I think we miss it without a seconds thought. I hope you will take the time to watch this clip called The Last Lecture, it will put things in perspective while we all hang out here on the Internet.
Watch out for the head fakes.
Welcome
I rebuilt this Blog to address a great number of things, there are great works in the world and most of us never hear about them, new technologies, new business models, new products and so on. Maybe you are an inventor, a futurist, a scholar or someone like me who is wondering where technology is taking us. How will it impact our lives? How will it drive new business? Some technologies have done somethings well, but mostly it’s complicated our lives rather than free us up to do more of the things we wish we had time for. Wouldn’t it be nice if technology shortened our work week? Skeptical? Read the book by Tim Ferriss called the 4 Hour Work Week, you’ll shake your head and wonder if you could do what he has done.
