Watch this: Introducing the Leap





Leap represents an entirely new way to interact with your computers. It's more accurate than a mouse, as reliable as a keyboard and more sensitive than a touchscreen. For the first time, you can control a computer in three dimensions with your natural hand and finger movements.

Please check out my 3 Tumblr blogs: The Future of Business & Communications, GerdFuturist, GreenFuturist You may have noticed that I caught the Tumblr bug about 18 months ago and that I have been busy curating my findings - as opposed to actually writing longer stories, myself, as I used to do on this blog - on 3 new blogs. Most of the posts on this blogs are a direct by-product on what I actually read and digest via the fabulous Instapaper and Read-It-Later apps, published directly to Tumblr via some nifty APIs:) Some of these blogs are quite popular already; please take a look and follow me there as well if you like: The Future of Business and Communications (the name says it all - currently 7689 followers) Green Futurist (all my posts on Green Futures, energy, climate change, sustainability etc, currently 4685 followers) GerdFuturist.com: my latest addition (only approx. 150 followers so far); this site will become my new hub for pretty much everything that I want to share online, regardless of topics Please take a look and let me know how you like them; all 3 are mobile-optimized via Tumblr, as well, btw.

Some quotes from Yoshai Benkler's latest book: The Penguin and the Leviathan: How Cooperation Triumphs over Self-Interest Via my Kindle shared bookmarks feed, some seriously insightful stuff from one of my favorite intellectuals, Yoshai Benkler. "The shift toward a more optimistic, human, and humane view (of human society) —that we as individuals can be motivated to productive ends by engaging one another socially and creating collaborative relationships—extends far beyond the business world or the networked environment" "Through the work of hundreds of scientists, we have begun to see mounting evidence in psychology, organizational sociology, political science, experimental economics, and elsewhere that people are in fact more cooperative and selfless, or at least behave far less selfishly, than most economists and others previously assumed..." "In practically no human society examined under controlled conditions have the majority of people consistently behaved selfishly.. The promise of cooperation is not some silly utopian dream. It is grounded in some of the best work and most rigorous research in behavioral science" "When any relatively stable and coherent system—an economy, a country, or a community—suffers a shock, it leads to a new flexibility, a new openness to different ways of explaining our world and organizing our lives. This is the way we come to reexamine old practices, try new ones, and adapt to the changes happening around us..."
