http://www.ideasproject.com/index.webui The Web is Evolving into a Massive Idea Exchange I think the Web is evolving into a massive idea exchange. People around the world are more eager than ever to share their knowledge and expertise in order to help each other and to solve problems. Now, with the real-time Web, people are able to assemble themselves around an idea, to talk about it, to exchange information about it, to refine it, and to develop a plan of action around it. This is being doing in real time and at a scale that has just never been possible before. I don't think we've even scratched the surface, yet, of understanding how to leverage the power of these social dynamics, but I think a key to unlocking the potential is going to be through developing better tools to visualize our human capital, which would be a combination of our strengths, our skills, and our social connections.

comedy musical - We’re addicted to plastic, especially plastic bags. If you are like 95% of US shoppers, whenever you purchase anything, it ends up in a plastic bag. In the grocery store, most of us put our vegetables and fruits as well as bulk items into single-use plastic produce bags, and all those bags end up in a single-use plastic check-out bag. Shoppers worldwide are using 500 billion to one trillion single-use plastic bags per year. This translates to about a million bags every minute across the globe, or 150 bags a year for every person on earth. And the number is rising. http://greensangha.org/plastics-campaign/ [Mehr] [Weniger]
