Joan Kennedy Taylor: Respecting Diversity in Libertarianism
Joan Kennedy Taylor was a journalist, author, and political activist known for her advocacy of individualist feminism and her role in developing the modern American libertarian movement. She passed away in 2005. In this lecture from a Libertarian Party of New York conference in 1981, Taylor stresses the importance of tolerating a diversity of opinions within the American libertarian movement because political movements generally are spontaneously organized.

Half-Life_2_Episode_One_trailer
Half-Life 2: Episode One is a first-person shooter video game, the first in a series of episodes that serve as the sequel for the 2004 Half-Life 2. It was developed by Valve Corporation and released on June 1, 2006. Originally called Half-Life 2: Aftermath, the game was later renamed to Episode One after Valve became confident in using an episodic structure for the game. Similar to Half-Life 2, Episode One also uses the Source game engine. The game debuted new lighting and animation technologies, as well as AI sidekick enhancements. The game #39;s events take place immediately after those in Half-Life 2, in and around war-torn City 17. Episode One follows scientist Gordon Freeman and his companion Alyx Vance as they fight in humanity #39;s continuing struggle against the transhuman race known as the Combine. When the story begins, Gordon wakes up outside the enemy #39;s base of operations, the Citadel, after being left unconscious from the concluding events of Half-Life 2. During the course of the game, Gordon travels with Alyx as they attempt to evacuate the city. As the game comes to an end, Gordon and Alyx are caught in a major accident, and both of their fates are revealed in the sequel, Episode Two. Valve views episodes One through Three as tantamount to a standalone release. Episode One is available as part of a bundle package known as The Orange Box, which also includes Half-Life 2, Episode Two, Team Fortress 2, and Portal.

The future of data, technology and the Internet: Futurist Speaker Gerd Leonhard #Online12
Thanks to Incisive events for making this available. See more details about the event here: http://www.online-information.co.uk My topic was this: everybody is talking about #39;data is the new oil #39; aka big-data. SoLoMo (social local mobile) is the battle cry of the day. Human-machine interfaces are rapidly evolving and may quickly become commonplace (think Google Glasses, MSFT Kinect), artificial intelligence is the geek-phrase-of-the-day, and Kurzweil says the singularity is near/here. So how will our world really change in the next 5 years, ie the way we communicate, get information, create, buy and sell, travel, live and learn? What are the biggest threats and the hottest opportunities - not just in financial terms, but also in societal and human terms? Futurist Gerd Leonhard will share his foresights and explore the key #39;networked society #39; scenarios" Here is the PDF with my slides: gerd.fm Please note: You can now download most of my videos by simply subscribing to this iTunes video feed (via Blip.tv) gerd.fm *** audio-only versions are now available here: gerd.fm or on the web at http://www.futuretalks.com My vimeo channel is here vimeo.com Enjoy!

The Past: A Century of Teaching with Technology
Technology has been used to enhance learning and teaching for over one hundred years. Most Faculty and Instructional Technologists are focused on current and future technology and often do not have a century old perspective on the interplay of learning theory and mass communications technology. Dr Henry J. Burnett, although primarily a Futurist, is a scholar of Instructional Technology and Mass Media. Professor James Bierman will trace several stages of digital content development leading to the Internet Age. Time travel to the not so distant past and understand the early beginnings of Instructional Technology in Higher Education. (Note: This presentation will be based on the writings of Paul Saettler, CSU, Sacramento Professor of History, A History of Instructional Technology (1968) and The Evolution of American Educational Technology (1990).From:Henry BurnettViews:3 0ratingsTime:33:04More inEducation
