Santalum acuminatum: What are Robotics, Internet of Things (and re DISTRIBUTED blockchain ledger - think MONETIZATION re blockchain)?, Remarkable developments in the IT Revolution and re the "Society, Information Technology and the Global University" course which WUaS is currently holding online for free, FOUNDERS OF THE INTERNET, LEGO of DNA - Legomics, WUaS facilitating a cryptocurrency with blockchain ledger as an Universal Basic Income for all 7.5 billion people as a financial Assistive Technology, organized around ~200 nation states as major online universities offering free CC-4 MIT OCW-centric online degrees in their official languages, and in all 7,099 living languages too, This would take form database-wise with CC-0 Wikidata (to which WUaS donated itself in October 2015) and re their / Wikipedia's front end (Mediawiki) software and their usernames (again planning also in 7,099 living languages, on smartphones, for example)


Hi T Tomato, 

Just a few further clarifications related to remarkable developments in the IT Revolution and re - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/InfoTechNetworkSocGlobalUniv.html (which I'm also adding to the syllabus here):

A robot is a machine capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically, especially one programmable by a computer ...

And the internet of things is "the interconnection via the Internet of computing devices embedded in everyday objects, enabling them to send and receive data." Combine the IoT with the blockchain aka distributed ledger technology. ""Distributed Ledger Technology," is about to change all aspects of digital business and according to some such as Don Tapscott, blockchain is a bigger deal than the Internet. Combine blockchain and IoT and you have two bigger deals than the Internet who need eachother for numerous reasons we explain in this IoT blockchain overview." https://www.i-scoop.eu/blockchain-distributed-ledger-technology/blockchain-iot/

And here's an article on the blockchain ledger from a head, Dario

FOUNDERS OF THE INTERNET
(here's a picture of Cerf, Crocker and Postel together: http://myndset.com/2011/02/founding-father-of-the-internet-stephen-steve-crocker/)

Here's Vint Cerf talking about much of what we talked about today re the beginning of the Internet, in a complementary way, with more and different details:

And here's Steve Crocker, whom I referred to as another founder of the internet -

Jon Postel[edit]

Main article: Jon Postel
Jon Postel (1943–1998) was a researcher at the Information Sciences Institute. He was editor of all early Internet standards specifications, such as the Request for Comments (RFC) series. His beard and sandals made him "the most recognizable archetype of an Internet pioneer".[59]

And here's a different perspective from the Princeton post by the head of the Environmental Defense Fund (not an alumnus) I mentioned re Global Warming - https://twitter.com/Princeton/status/935342558942826498 . 

Looking forward to your 5 page paper "riffing" draft next week, about which it would be great also to talk about in terms of specifics. And for the final version, could you possibly please read it to Youtube on video and also post a final written draft in writing to your web site - for the last day of this course on Tues. Dec 19th? And would you please post a reference to your written paper to the wiki subject page(s) at World University and School where you'd like - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Subjects ? Thank you!

Cheers, 
Scott

I listened to this last week. It explained a lot. I subscribed to their podcast even.

Hi Tad (and All),

World University and School is getting closer to planning for facilitating a cryptocurrency with blockchain ledger as an Universal Basic Income for all 7.5 billion people as a financial Assistive Technology, organized around ~200 nation states as major online universities offering free CC-4 MIT OCW-centric online degrees - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States - in their official languages, and in all 7,099 living languages. This would take form database-wise with CC-0 Wikidata (to which WUaS donated itself in October 2015) and re their/Wikipedia's front end (Miraheze Mediawiki) software and their usernames (again planning for all 7.5 billion peoples in 7,099 living languages, on smartphones, for example).

Any chance you might join us as well this evening, such that we could talk further about all this?

Best, Scott
