The Amazing Gift of Woo Lai Wah
By Mike Mitchell
On my way to the basement to do some laundry, I noticed a package on my porch. It was in the usual spot where I ask delivery people to put things if there’s no answer to the doorbell. Strange, though. I wasn’t expecting anything; everything I’d ordered recently had been delivered.
When I came back upstairs I picked it up. It was for me, not my tenants, and it was from Hong Kong. There was no return address and the customs declaration on the side simply read “camera part.” Very strange.

But I plead guilty to Kamla’s charge: I think about the web as experienced on a PC, and then about mobile as an add on. The tipping point has come; that notion has to flip: if we’re trying to get ahead of the curve, we need to think first about the phone, and then think about the PC browser experience as the add-on.
- Because I work in a computer lab classroom (I am indeed a lucky dude to have such a teaching assistant) I do not tend to notice this until I see a student texting in the back of the classroom. For him the computer keyboard within arm’s reach is nowhere near as compelling as the one in his hand. I feel like I am standing on stone in the middle of the creek as the rain pelts down and it has just occurred to me that I can’t stay where I am for long. Swim, rat, swim! - post by tellio

Singularity University
- How far are we going to allow computers to advise us? Perhaps they would make better learning brokers or at least be better in bringing the multiplicity of the net and aggregat it into a “program of study”. - post by tellio

how thinking machines would reshape campus life.
- This is the meat of the article. I want to know how this singularity university affects me. Will I be out of a job? Will it make my job easier, faster, better? Where will I need to go to accomodate? Do I need to check out of higher ed and move into another form of ed? Worldwide effects? - post by tellio

I’m one or two orders of magnitude more productive today because of the global knowledge system the Internet has enabled.”
- I would have to agree with this. Google as second brain (some seem to think that it is their only brain) is a metaphor I use with my students in class all the time. I can only imagine the connectivity online search represents to get tighter and more profound at the same time just as it already has. - post by tellio

Perhaps we’ll soon have machines recording everything we say, see, and hear, allowing us to retrieve experiences we now lose to forgetfulness.

Computerized research assistants
- What kind of topology is being suggested here? Would these research assistants be experts on top or on tap? As it exists now humans are still at the hub of any system, but perhaps we need to move to a heliocentric system where the research bots are at the center and we orbit them. Personally, I prefer a jungle ecology system, a learning society of mind like MInsky writes about. - post by tellio
- They already exist–google alerts for example. What we need are researchbots–oops they already exist, too. - post by tellio

These new computer teachers will have more patience than any human lecturer, and they will be able to offer every student individual attention — which sure beats a 500-person lecture course.

Virtual professors probably won’t ask for tenure. And Mr. Goertzel sees them as key to expanding educational opportunities, by greatly reducing the price of a high-quality education.
- I think that we are already well past the fork in the road and some of us are dead teachers walking. Take a look at David Wiley’s slideshare on this and then rub that thought together with the idea of the comptutor as learning broker and you will know what I mean.
