Um, wait. Ultimate irony, hypocrisy, or just some technical dumb-assery on my part? Very strange that the embed doesn’t appear to be working; even though the YouTube tools to create embed work as normal. WTF? Cannot Display Embed Above?

“The World Shrunk to a Point” Arthur C. Clarke 1964
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/EthernetTV/~3/NDVZi3wMGu0/614
“These things will make possible a world in which we can be in instant contact with each other, wherever we may be. Where we can contact our friends, anywhere on earth, even if we don’t know their actual physical location. It will be possible in that age, perhaps only 50 years from now, for a man to conduct his business from Tahiti or Bali, just as well as he could from London. In fact, if it prove worthwhile, almost any executive skill, any administrative skill, even any physical skill could be made independent of distance. I am perfectly serious when I suggest that one day, we may have brain surgeons in Edinborough operation on patients in New Zealand. When that time comes, the whole world will have shrunk to a point, and the traditional role of the city as a meeting place for man would have ceased to make any sense. In fact, men will no longer commute, they will communicate.”

Huntsville, The “Mighty Eagle” has Landed. NASA Robotic Lander Development Project.
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/EthernetTV/~3/t9i66SHc9WQ/594
NASA successfully completed the final flight in a series of tests of a new robotic lander prototype at the Redstone Test Center’s propulsion test facility on the U.S. Army Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Ala. The team steadily increased the lander’s flight profile, starting by hovering the lander — dubbed Mighty Eagle — at 3 feet, then 30 feet and finally a record 100-foot flight test.

Future Shock: A Primer from the Modern Father of Futuretechture
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/EthernetTV/~3/TD0530VWe2g/588
Totally embarrassed by the depiction of exhuberant gleaming youth in this clip, with whom I clearly identified too strongly at far too impressionable an age, some 40 years ago. Wonder how I got "this way?" By believing what Toffler explained and yet still being subjected to the very vestigial technium / techonomy that he describes, herein, a lifetime ago. It was like, "Here's everything that's most broken about the world, go do something to try and help fix it." Consider this as Exhibit A for the argument that The Singularity Already Happened and Is In The Process of Happening; marking the year 2029 more like the time at which a critical mass of 8 billion humans will look back, defining that new default reality.
Toffler: "All of us think about the future, but the futurist devotes more time to thinking about the long term future, not just what’s going to happen next." "We go around the world talking to people who are, in fact, MAKING the future. So this is not some mystical exercise in Nostradamus style prediction, but an attempt to find out who are the people that are changing, or will be changing our lives in the years and decades ahead." "It occured to us that when you go to a foriegn culture, you’re bombarded by strange cues, by visual, sound and other inputs that may be different from the ones in your own culture and that are hard to understand and some people get truly disoriented, and upset, and sociologist and anthropologists call it culture shock." "What happens, if a new environment comes to you, where you are, and comes to you rapidly? So that you don’t understand IT’S inputs, and it’s CUES? And the answer to use was, if you can have culture shock by relocating to another location in space; you could have Future Shock by, in effect, relocating in time. A future comes toward you, that you don’t understand." "You also hear people than ever complaining about being time harrassed, time squeezed, time over-worked, too many hours, and I think everybody feels this pressure. You’re under pressure usually to make more and more decisions in shorter and shorter intervals of time." "And guess what? There’s a limit beyond which we don’t make good decisions. If we push ourselves to decide quickly about things that are terribly complex, the chance are, we’ll make some serious mistakes; and we do. The hope was, computers will solve this problem." "The computer does simplify decision making, but it complexifies everything else, so you have to make more complex decisions, anyway. The computer as a source of complexity, as well as a machine for dealing with complexity has not yet been fully understood." "Technology and Social Change are all interrelated. The industrial revolution changed, not just the technologies of production, it meant that people stopped being peasants, they became urban industrial people. Totally different value systems, totally different forms of social organization, new institutions. They invented department stores. They invented post offices. Social inventions, not just technological inventions." Ed. Note: don’t miss "the miracle of HIGH SPEED wire communication is commonplace today, lift a telephone receiver and the world is at your fingertips." at 5:48. LOL! "It’s the civilization that gave rise to the world that most of us watching this were born into. The world of mass production, mass consumption, mass education, mass media, mass entertainment, mass recreation, and in some countries, Weapons of Mass Destruction." (Hipster Hints: he’s not talking about Iran or Iraq, homies.) "In that kind of a world, conformity is idealized; you are supposed to be like everyone else; and that is because it is economically advantageous for that system to produce people who are prepared to spend their lives doing work on the predicate; basically unthinking work, on assembly lines; or in offices built to operate like assembly lines. That product of the industrial revolution is not just an economy, it’s a way of life." Oh, we’re sooo much smarter now, right? :-) LOLCATSROTFLXPALADOCIOUS!

Upgrading through every version of windows (1.0 – 7.0)
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/EthernetTV/~3/38sK9Y1LjAM/424
“One man has captured every install of Windows from 1.0 through to 7 and shared it with the world via YouTube. The video details install processes and the UI for each version of Windows over the past 25 years and most importantly the upgrade process. The only exception is Windows ME, missing as you can only upgrade to ME or 2000 and not both. The video creator, Andrew Tait, used VMWare to install each version and started by installing MS-DOS 5.0 to prepare for the Windows 1.0 installation. Monkey Island and Doom 2 are both installed to test upgrade compatibility throughout the years” (WinRumors).

Steve Jobs prepping for his first ever TV interview
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/EthernetTV/~3/3nbJujMS3iY/417
For Apple fans who just can’t get enough, “there surfaced a video of the first television interview with Apple’s founder Steve Jobs. This video is probably taken in 1978, when Jobs was in his twenties. In this short clip you see the young Jobs (clearly nervous) preparing for his first time on national television” (YouTube).
Paul Laughton recounts his version of “The [Apple II] system [that] was hand delivered by Steve Jobs for use in the development projects. The Disk II disk drives with the are serial numbered 3 and 4.” The Computer History Museum adds, “Apple Computer (now known as Apple, Inc.) was a major force in the personal computer revolution that took place in the 1970s and ’80s. Learning about its history teaches us about competing visions of the future and how companies made decisions during this exciting time. The Computer History Museum presents here two special documents from Apple Computer during the early days of personal computing. ” More recently, Gizmodo relays, “Apple co-founder and Gizmodo Spiritual Mascot Steve Wozniak made a hilarious appearance on Big Bang Theory. Here’s what he had to say about Steve Jobs, black turtlenecks and Apple II.”
