"Shift Happens": The most mind-opening doc since "An Inconvenient Truth"?

yoo.jpg

Ok, it's a Power Point -- view here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljbI-363A2Q&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eyoungjinyoo%2Ecom%2F -- not a documentary. But there is more mind-opening material here in the presentation from Prof. Youngjin Yoo (pictured left) associate professor of Management Systems at Temple University's Fox School of Business, then I've seen since An Inconvenient Truth. It runs about six minutes and is guaranteed to get you thinking globally.Thanks to my husband, Paul (none dare call him Mr. Flickgrrl), for forwarding.

What are the implications for your line of work? I have seen the future of documentaries and this is it.

Hi, Youngjin here. I am glad that more people will watch the video through your blog. I think it has an important message for all of us to think about.

Carrie:


Thanks, Professor Yoo. "Important message" is an understatement. One question: If computer memory is accelerating so exponentially, what are the ramifications for humans being able to digest and process this data?

unbelievable. tomorrow, I'll have been at my current place of work for 20 years. why?

Phil:

I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords.
