Google To Create Its Own High Tech Smart City Neighborhood With Weather Management Systems And 'Flexible Buildings'
"Quayside is described as being 'built from the internet up'
Google is set to build a “new kind” of high-tech neighbourhood that will be unlike anywhere else in the world.
The company has revealed radical plans for the town, which will be called Quayside.
It will feature flexible buildings that can be completely reconfigured at speed, and Google will even attempt to “mitigate” the weather, to encourage people to spend more time outside.
It’s an astonishing vision, which Google hopes to turn into “a blueprint for the 21st-century urban neighbourhood”..."

Watch VICE’s New Documentary, 'The Third Industrial Revolution: A Radical New Sharing Economy'
"In a digitally-driven society, social and economic theorist Jeremy Rifkin describes the birth of a new economic system that can address climate change and create a more equitable and empathic world.
he global economy is in crisis. The exponential exhaustion of natural resources, declining productivity, slow growth, rising unemployment, and steep inequality, forces us to rethink our economic models. Where do we go from here? In this feature-length documentary, social and economic theorist Jeremy Rifkin lays out a road map to usher in a new economic system. A Third Industrial Revolution is unfolding with the convergence of three pivotal technologies: an ultra-fast 5G communication internet, a renewable energy internet, and a driverless mobility internet, all connected to the Internet of Things embedded across society and the environment. This 21st century smart digital infrastructure is giving rise to a radical new sharing economy that is transforming the way we manage, power and move economic life.
With the Internet of Things infrastructure, Big Data and analytics can be used to develop algorithms that increase productivity and dramatically lower the marginal cost to near zero in the production and distribution of an increasing array of goods and services. Today, millions of people around the world are producing and sharing things like videos, music, contributions to Wikipedia, renewable energy, homes, and automobiles.
In the sharing economy, ownership gives way to access, sellers and buyers are replaced by providers and users, social capital becomes as important as market capital, consumerism is upended by sustainability, and quality of life indicators become more important than GDP. The sharing economy can become a circular economy in which goods and services are redistributed among multiple users, dramatically reducing society’s ecological footprint.
But with climate change now ravaging the planet, the transition to a new economic era has to happen fast. Change of this magnitude requires political will and a profound ideological shift.
Take a look at the full film in the link below..."

How IOTA (MIOTA) Is Changing The Future As We Know It
"What we refer to as the future is a concept where we imagine ourselves under a specific set of rules, spatial & digital environment, and predestined situations. That concept depending on our current state of mind and social capabilities might be or not be possible, therefore that concept could represent a future that’s around the corner or a future that still sounds like a sci-fi movie. Today we are primed to experience a situation that combines both near future and sci-fi into one possible future that’s around the corner. Rapid technological advancement over the past decades leads to an inevitable upcoming industrial revolution or industry 4.0 where human comprehension, machinery, and social patterns will all work together in order to achieve the next level of consciousness. One of the most promising concepts that will help us in making this possible future a reality would be definitely Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT) or sometimes just Blockchain Technologies. We are using IOTA (MIOTA) as an example, for various reasons that would make sense as the article deploys, to understand how DLT is going to change our lives forever, on a scale previously experienced with the internet itself or the introduction of electricity on a public level..."

Energy Trading Giant Looks To Blockchain To Meet Rising Demand
"Vattenfall AB, one of Europe’s leading energy trading firms, is reportedlystruggling to keep up with the volume of trades it has to process, which can number up to 8,000 in a single day. With the expectation that this figure will increase several-fold as more sources of renewable energy come online over the next few years, the company is eyeing a shift to a blockchain-integrated platform to manage its trades.
Kilian Leykam, the head of business development at the company’s trading unit in Hamburg, said the projected move would allow the firm to oversee trades for smaller volumes of energy, explaining that “with smaller transactions sizes you are able to target volumes that otherwise would have been neglected.” These transactions could include energy generated by solar panels on people’s houses or stored in home batteries, and Leykam predicts that blockchain technology will be instrumental in supporting a network of these energy production and storage devices..."

Women, The Blockchain, And The Future of Humanitarianism
"While the nations of the world are united in fascination, and perhaps preoccupation, with cryptocurrencies – what they are, what they mean, and what to do about them – the United Nations is already using the blockchain to help people around the globe in a variety of humanitarian contexts.
From the UN World Food Program, to the UN Office for Information and Communications Technology, a multitude of UN organizations are exploring how blockchain technology can improve their mission effectiveness. Notably, one UN group – UN Women – is using blockchain technology to empower women and girls in humanitarian settings. While noble in its intentions, the UN isn't acting out of idealism. Rather pragmatically, they have identified empowering women and girls as essential to sustainable global development..."

Blockchain Project Plans to Transform Education System by Connecting Students and Teachers Directly
"The costs of higher education have skyrocketed and it is now common for students to take on $200,000+ in debt to get a degree. The system is designed to serve the elites but does little to enable class mobility. This is expected to get worse as automation spreads throughout the economy and replaces some of the simpler jobs.
A new company called ODEM or On-Demand Education Marketplace has emerged that seeks to solve this problem. The solution is quite simple: use revolutionary new technology to cut out the inefficiencies in the system and connect students and teachers directly..."
