In working on the second Symbiotic Autonomous Systems White Paper (did you read the first one?) Derrick de Kerckhove shared with the team an interesting article on “Skim reading is the new normal” by Maryanne Wolf that is surely thought provoking and worth reading. In the article it is observed …

Following on the previous post on the potential implication of increasing human thought capabilities, issues that will be examined by Derrick de Kerckhove in his keynote at the Symbiotic Autonomous Systems Workshop on October 30th in San Diego in conjunction with TTM 2018.  Make a point to be there and participate …

In this second round of posts on Transhumanism, stimulated both by reading the Frost&Sullivan report on Transhumanism and by the preparation of the second White Paper on Symbiotic Autonomous Systems I have addressed the possibilities of increasing human thought capabilities.

Internet is the result of this idea: connecting computers (with their processing and data) in a seamless web that can be …

Neurotechnologies The promise of a full understanding of the brain working made by projects like The Human Brain (EU)  and The Brain Initiative can potentially open the way to an augmentation of the brain processing and storage capabilities through the implant of chips that can improve memory and processing. In …
