g-f(2)304 The big picture of the digital age (5/31/2021), Knowledge@Wharton, How to understand what started THE THIRD DIGITAL REVOLUTION.




Extra-condensed knowledge


Computerized fabrication such as 3-D printing is the beginning of a trend to change data into objects.

Knowledge@Wharton: What started this third digital revolution?
  • Alan Gershenfeld:  
    • It’s actually a continuum. We’ve had a revolution in digital computation, we’ve had a revolution in digital communication, and both have changed the world.
    • We use Gordon Moore’s 1965 paper as a powerful point, where he was looking back 10 years at the doubling of digital computing performance and projecting what would happen 10 years forward if that exponential curve continued. 
      • He predicted things like mobile phones and smart cars, not because he was Nostradamus. 
      • He was simply observing a past trend of technology doubling and projecting forward.
    • Well, it’s happened for 50 years with close to a billion-fold improvement.
    • Neil Gershenfeld, who heads The Center for Bits and Atoms at MIT, has also looked back 10 years and seen the doubling of digital fabrication performance.
    • When we project forward 10, 20, 30 or 40 years and a potential billion-fold improvement in digital fabrication performance, it will once again change the world. 
      • That is THE THIRD DIGITAL REVOLUTION.

Warning, Alan Gershenfeld
  • “The third digital revolution, much like the first two digital revolutions back in 1965, is largely going unnoticed or not fully understood.”

ABOUT THE AUTHORS


INTRODUCTION TO THE PODCAST

The first two digital revolutions — computing and communications — transformed society. Now comes the third, which is fabrication, argues the new book, Designing Reality. The authors say that computerized fabrication such as 3-D printing is the beginning of a trend to change data into objects. But like any revolution, not all populations will benefit equally. The book, which is aimed at helping people prepare for the next tech wave, was written by three brothers: Alan Gershenfeld, president of E-Line Media and former chairman of Games for Change; Joel Cutcher-Gershenfeld, a professor at Brandeis University; and Neil Gershenfeld, who heads The Center for Bits and Atoms at MIT. Alan Gerhsenfeld and Cutcher-Gershenfeld talked about their book on the Knowledge@Wharton show, which airs on SiriusXM channel 111.


Joel Cutcher-Gershenfeld is a professor at the Heller School for Social Policy and Management at Brandeis University. Alan Gershenfeld is cofounder and president of E-Line Media. Neil Gershenfeld is the director of MIT’s Center for Bits and Atoms.

VIRAL KNOWLEDGE: The “genioux facts” knowledge news





Extra-condensed knowledge


  • The U.S., U.K. and China are roaring ahead, while most lower income nations are struggling, reversing decades of progress in alleviating global poverty. ‘This has become the inequality virus.’
    • In the U.S., economists are forecasting a return to boomtime growth levels of the “roaring 20s”; China’s economy expanded at a record 18.3% in the first quarter; and the U.K. is growing faster than at any time since the end of World War II.
  • The middle class in developing countries, a key engine of economic, educational and political development, is contracting rapidly, but it has barely been dented in the U.S. and China, according to the Pew Research Center. 
    • While the rapid U.S. rebound has already catapulted its economy back to growth, lower income countries will take years to return to 2019 levels.
    • The International Monetary Fund, which calls the dynamic “the great divergence,” warns that many developing economies outside the advanced economies and China could languish for years.
    • In Latin America, after 15 years of growth powered by commodity exports that lifted millions out of poverty, the economy contracted 7.4% in 2020, the worst downturn since 1821, when the region was immersed in independence wars, the Inter-American Development Bank said in March in its annual economic report.
  • The World Bank estimates that up to 150 million people will be pushed into extreme poverty as a result of the Covid crunch. 
    • The pandemic has led 34 million people to the brink of famine, according to the World Food Program, a record 35% rise in a single year.

      g-f(2)281 The Big Picture of the Digital Age (5/18/2021), NYT, Censorship, Surveillance and Profits: A Hard Bargain for Apple in China.


      VIRAL KNOWLEDGE: The “genioux facts” knowledge news







      Extra-condensed knowledge


      • Apple built the world’s most valuable business on top of China. Now it has to answer to the Chinese government.
        • China’s leader, Xi Jinping, is increasing his demands on Western companies, and Tim Cook, Apple’s chief executive, has resisted those demands on a number of occasions. But he ultimately approved the plans to store customer data on Chinese servers and to aggressively censor apps, according to interviews with current and former Apple employees.
      • Mr. Cook declined an interview for this article. In public appearances, he has said that while he often disagrees with China’s laws, the world is better off with Apple in China. 
        • In 2014, Apple hired Doug Guthrie, the departing dean of the George Washington University business school, to help the company navigate China, a country he had spent decades studying.
        • Mr. Guthrie concluded that no other country could offer the scale, skills, infrastructure and government assistance that Apple required.
        • “This business model only really fits and works in China,” Mr. Guthrie said in an interview. “But then you’re married to China.”
      • In November 2016, China approved a law requiring that all “personal information and important data” that is collected in China be kept in China.
        • It was bad news for Apple, which had staked its reputation on keeping customers’ data safe.
        • Apple’s China team warned Mr. Cook that China could shut down iCloud in the country if it did not comply with the new cybersecurity law. So Mr. Cook agreed to move the personal data of his Chinese customers to the servers of a Chinese state-owned company. That led to a project known inside Apple as “Golden Gate.”
        • Documents reviewed by The Times do not show that the Chinese government has gained access to the data. They only indicate that Apple has made compromises that make it easier for the government to do so.

        Extra-condensed knowledge


        • The way we work is changing, and the way knowledge is shared inside of companies will need to adjust. Here are two creative ways I have seen the induction of joiners playing out.
          • Innovate with technology. It’s a given that companies are now innovating with technology. Take, for example, consulting firm PwC, which has used platforms and virtual reality to help onboard the over 1,300 new hires that began working at its U.K. offices in the past year.
          • Curate interactions. I’ve been fascinated by how CEO Christy Johnson leads the Seattle-based virtual strategy consulting practice Artemis Connection — and no more so than how new members are introduced to the company.
        • We are only just beginning on our journey of creating practices and processes that help new joiners understand their organization’s culture and build tacit knowledge. 
          • The experiences of Brown and Johnson show what could be possible.
        • Here are my three takeaways.
          1. First, developing knowledge beyond what’s found in formal training is crucial for new joiners, and as we shift our ways of working, we need to keep sight of this. 
          2. Second, the observed/observing metric is one worth measuring.
          3. Third, being in “the room where it happens” is a very valuable experience.
