So I’m too busy to be updating this much, but I’ll soon have some new material on Aristotle’s Metaphysics and Habermas. I’ve also been reading lots about the “Semantic Web” and “Web 3.0”. Interesting stuff…
For now I’ll leave you with an interesting Tedtalk on Genomics, and what could be the future of coding.
Juan Enriquez: Decoding the future with genomics
Scientific discoveries, Juan Enriquez notes, demand a shift in code. The shift from cave paintings to hieroglyphics made possible the rise of Egyptian society, the pyramids, and the conquest of other peoples. The shift to binary code brought with it the era of computing and then the Internet, with vast implications for just about every area of human endeavor. Similarly, the rise of genomics has brought a shift in code toward the structure of life, with implications that are slowly revealing themselves. Enriquez argues that our ability to thrive in the culture created by this shift depends on our mastery of it, and companies whose futures lie with the intersecting fates of science, technology, and computing will do well to mind the knowledge gap — and not get swallowed up by it.
