The conversation thing

NLP made me perceive the world with all senses opened and better prepared for the large amount of info I have to process. And to process wisely, I might add.

The next three days I’ll be again on a training session for NLP, I can’t wait to work on the new techniques. The very first sign that is obvious for me after taking those NLP trainings is the awareness I have for the sensorial perceptions in other people intends and forms of expression.

For instance, this research here is purely kinestesic. In fact, touching is one very important aspect of communication, yet very rarely used because of the all so many connotations …

So we may restrict ourselves to pets… or when we are allergic to them, or want to experiment more, to intelligent robots… the research in itself is very powerfull and I expect very strong outcomes… but the idea to have an artifficial pet just to touch it … it’s weird, right?

I have seen the Sony artifficial dog, and I immediately fell in love with it… for me, it was no difference from a real dog to that little cute guy that would light some lights when experiencing joy

Feelings inside are activated by simple touch and series of events. The outside object may be just a toy or a living soul, artifficial or not… it may not count as much to the inner reaction we experience.

Well, after announcing the instant messaging service for Facebook users a few days ago, now this worldwide community website makes a new move on globalizing its messages into all possible languages on Earth by involving its users into translating the interface …

Aren’t we transforming ourselves into a folklore society … where everything has no particular author, just vast groups of people making the final message in a process of collective work? Yes, I think a new middle ages awaits us ..

This is an old thought of mine, that we are now like the Romans were back in 200 BC … having all resources at hand, properly using all information to gain societal, economical and cultural outcomes. But in a slow motion development, after 500 years, all of a sudden, the individual voice was no longer important, collective works became the most relevant for further development… and I can see this trend of collective (read “community”) based information and outcomes going to the new middle ages era. What do you think of that?

Word goes that cybercrime experts from around the world will meet in Brussels this week to discuss how governments should counter attacks aimed at crippling the Internet and hitting users with data loss, identity theft and fraud.

“The European Union’s anti-terrorism has voiced concerns about cyber attacks and said the bloc was working on new laws addressing the increasingly common phenomenon” CNN comments.

While in Bucharest, the NATO summit begining this Wednesday will also address the same issue.

Cool!

CNN has decided to open an I-Report hub in Second Life, encouraging residents of Second Life to share their own “SL I-Reports” about events occurring within the virtual world.

This I-Report hub includes a news desk where CNN producers will hold weekly editorial discussions, and an amphitheater for larger in-world events, such as training sessions and appearances by CNN anchors and correspondents.

CNN’s first in-world training session will be held Tuesday, November 13, at 5 p.m. ET at the I-Report Hub , that is, if I’m guessing correcly, on the 14th around 1 o’clock in the afternoon.
