Washington, D.C. (PRWEB) September 24, 2013

Popular keynote speaker, healthcare futurist, and best-selling author, Jack Uldrich has been selected to deliver three keynote sessions to hospital associations across the country. On October 10, 2013, Uldrich will keynoting the Arkansas Hospital Association's annual meeting in Little Rock, Arkansas where he'll be discussing "Why Future Trends in Healthcare Will Require Unlearning." Later in the month, Uldrich be discussing key technological trends in health care with members of the Arizona Hospital Association in Phoenix on October 23.

The presentations, based on Uldrichs two most recent books: "Foresight 20/20: A Futurist Explores the Trends Transforming Tomorrow" and "Higher Unlearning: 39 Post Requisite Lessons for Achieving a Successful Future" as well as his popular article, "Top Ten Trends in Healthcare," will begin by discussing how continued advances in information technologies, biotechnology, nanotechnology, robotics, radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, genomics, regenerative medicine and social networking will radically transform healthcare in the decade ahead. (A video of Mr. Uldrich discussing future trends can be viewed here.)

Uldrich will then focus on why these trends will demand unlearning and discuss why participants must embrace the concept of unlearning in order to achieve future success. Uldrich, who has been hailed as Americas Chief Unlearning Officer, will conclude by reviewing specific habits, customs, beliefs and ideas that healthcare professionals canand mustunlearn. Throughout his talks, he will use vivid analogies and memorable stories, drawn from a wide spectrum of industries, to ensure his message of unlearning sticks with his audiences.

In the past year, Uldrich has addressed dozens of healthcare associations and hospitals, including the Alcetel-Lucent/Verizon Forum on Wireless Healthcare, IASIS Healthcare, Allina Hospitals, The Healthcare Trustees of New York, The Iowa Healthcare Collaborative, Care Providers of Minnesota, St. Jude Medical, Fairview Hospitals, University Hospitals & Health System of Ohio, and healthcare associations in Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Tennessee, Utah and Wisconsin.

Healthcare Futurist Jack Uldrich to Keynote Two Hospital Association Events in October

Burbank, California (PRWEB) September 24, 2013

Talk show host, Leigh Gregory is back with another episode of The Learning Show, the training industrys de facto internet talk show. And this time, hes riffing on gameful learning, sharing the latest statistics on manager meetings; and talking with learning futurist, Elliott Masie.

One of our goals is to champion workplace learning in all its forms. We do that by talking to the current and emerging thought leaders in the space. And, you cant say the phrase thought leader without Elliott Masie coming to mind. Were stoked to have him on the show, said Leigh.

It was over 20 years ago, that Elliott originated the word, eLearning. And that word became the name for a training method and an entire industry. And Elliott continues to stand at the forefront of the movement to deliver quality learning in as many innovative and engaging ways as possible. Along the way, hes brought his insights to the Department of Defense and to the White House during initiatives to expand learning opportunities to all people. To that end, he used the Learning Show to introduce the emerging concept of personalized learning.

Were expanding out the definition of what eLearning is. And its evaporating, I hope, in an ironic way. I hope we just talk about Learning. Im almost ready to make the assumption that well always use electronics, well always use face to face. Maybe at some point, the E will go away, said Elliott, while outlining how learning will be personalized.

Im excited about Elliotts concept of personalized learning. And I cant wait to see how our industry responds creatively and technologically to this bold philosophical pivot, said Marguerite Gregory, co-founder of Trainevision and executive producer of The Learning Show.

Elliott Masie will host Learning 2013, his annual learning conference, from November 3 6 in Orlando, Florida. George Takei is a special presenter and the featured keynote address will be delivered by former Secretary of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton.

The Learning Show is brought to you by Trainevision, Inc. The Elliott Masie episode is available now on Trainevisions website, Facebook page, and YouTube channel. Stay tuned for upcoming episodes featuring the industrys thought leaders, disruptors and shape shifters.

FUTURIST VIEW VERSES PRETERIST VIEW
A major Key to look at when deciding which Theology you want to lean towards.

FUTURIST VIEW VERSES PRETERIST VIEW - Video

Intel's Futurist and Director of Future Casting, Brian David Johnson, was at this week's Maker Faire in New York City to introduce an open source, 3D printed companion robot called Jimmie.

Johnson's job is to advise Intel as to what innovations may be expected in the active marketplace roughly a decade into the future. His use of science fiction writers as projective futurists in Intel's Tomorrow Project is well known.

With the 21st Century robot project, Johnson plans to introduce an easy to build, completely open source, human-like robot that can be built created from a kit and a home 3D printer, then stand back and see what a group of highly motivated makers do with it.

The open-source software, 3D printing files, and the kit are projected to be available next May. The vehicle for the project is a book called 21st Century robot, which combines science fiction with a how to guide for creating your own robot. A "work in progress" version of the book can be downloaded here [PDF].

Although there are no firm details at this stage, the kit will reportedly consist of processors, memory, servos, power packs, and other parts to enable easy construction of a robot. Jimmie (Johnson's name for his prototype, which is at this stage just a shell) is roughly humanoid, about 20 inches (0.5 m) tall and has a strong family resemblance to Aldebaran Robotics Nao robot (my personal all-time favorite robot). Interestingly, Intel was one of Aldebaran's major third round VC funders.

The target for such a kit is highly focused, as only rather accomplished makers will have the 3D printing capabilities at hand, and also the electromechanical and software chops to turn a kit into a working robot to be upgraded, modified, and taught new tricks. Johnson wants to make the kit available for US$500-1000. Comparing this to Nao's $17K price tag, it's clear why such a kit may be popular.

While we can only speculate about Jimmie's base capabilities at this stage, it is being described as a companion and helper. We expect that Jimmie will be able to understand and speak some subset of a spoken language. Also, it seems likely that it will be able to walk about and have some ability to grab and manipulate objects particularly as Jimmie appears to have inherited Nao's opposable thumb.

We'll bring you more details as they become official. In the meantime, you can watch Johnson talking about the project in this CBS News interview.
