These are the excerpts from the session of the technology transitions work-space held on January 15th 2017The position and places we find ourselves at in life are not always under our complete control. The posture we maintain at any time or during any situation is totally under our authority. It is important for us to understand that views, votes and opinions are not an accurate reflection of values. When we regard the things said to us or done to us personally, the effect is individual and its impact becomes personal. Offensive words or deeds should be viewed in light of their significance upon all of society. WORDS CARRY SPIRIT! The way we respond to the stimulus of unexpected news and disappointments magnify our reactions to it. Fear mongers will have us succumb to the fragility of an alarmist mentality. That mindset perpetuates a consciousness of helplessness and lack of control. The players and positions may be set, but the posture we respond with is totally under our control. Sometime being unsettled is a part of life. It is are a sentence for life. Disappointments should not decree despair. Our votes are simply a judgment call reflecting our confidence in someone else who we hope may be the best representative of our judgments. We are all a product of our genetics, environment, and teaching. This is a big part of our conditioning and consciousness. We have the responsibility to hold one another accountable for the words expressed and the actions performed. This is the true purpose of criticism. However, any criticism clouded by cynicism is a personally biased perspective. Our integrity is reflected within our posture. Our character is reflected within our conversation. Our beliefs are reflected within our response to adverse conditions. It is easy to place labels on things. Labels are useful for basic identifications but fall short in expressing the complexity of the object defined. Labels create limits. Whenever we feel we've loss, our human nature tends to focus upon the present situation, lose sight of past accomplishments and fear future progress. In reality, it is the past hopes and previous victories that provide us the strength to persevere through new adversity. As the offspring of any race, family or culture; history should enable us to construct our own personal cipher that sees us through the hardest of times. Progress can be stalled but it cannot be stopped. Like “Chicken Little” most exploiters and doomsayers speak words of extremities that excite emotions and stimulate fear. When vocabulary is used indiscriminately or rashly by anyone of influence or authority, it is an abuse of power. Practices that appear effective are mirrored by others. Bad mouthing other people we disagree with only endorses social rudeness. Bullying works by taking advantage of the fragility of another person. Labels create limits. We must speak truth to power with respect. Reaping what we sow is a universal principle whether we believe it or not! Responsible writing and oratory have reliable and verifiable sources, minimize propaganda and quiet rumor. Expressions with extreme words like “totally, completely, overwhelming, disastrous, catastrophic, every, always and never” are the first sign of exploiting delicate feelings. Talking about an issue is always easier than dealing with an issue. DOCUMENTED FACTS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES: HERE ARE A FEWThe earliest traces of the great proverbs which say, “Don’t judge a man until you have walked a mile in his shoes,” comes from the Cherokee Indians. The native American Indians, whose land we’ve confiscated, culture almost obliterated, and symbols desecrated have cause to be vindictive. The stories of “Sand Creek” and “Wounded Knee” alone are enough to justify an onslaught of accusations that our conscious would find unbearable. Though not recorded in most of our history books, the facts are indisputable. Yet the posture of most Indians is peace. We can adopt an original African saying that states “if you think you are too small to make a difference, you haven’t spent a night with a mosquito.” Although captured, shipped, enslaved, experimented on, assaulted, raped, abused and declared by the original constitution to be less than human, the posture of the African American has been one of reconciliation and forgiveness. It took the thirteenth amendment to right that wrong. “May the road rise to meet you” is an old Irish saying; a blessing, which wishes success for the person it’s spoken to. Yet signs that said “Irish need not apply” were acceptable as was “No Irish, No Blacks and No Dogs.” The overall posture of Irish people today does not reflect the past prejudice inflicted upon them. The largest recorded mass lynching in U.S. history took place in New Orleans in 1891 and it was not African-Americans, it was Italian-Americans. “Dagoes” was the only word needed to be uttered by a dying police chief, and it was enough to round up any man of Italian decent. The predominant posture of Italian-Americans today reflects acceptance and inclusion for all. The Hispanic heritage within this country permeates almost every aspect of our history. It was a group of Spaniards, Afro-Latinos, indigenous people and mestizos setting out from colonial-era Mexico that traveled into California and founded the city of Los Angeles. Look at the posture of this culture and people; generally hard working and respectful. IMMIGRATION HELPED TO FORM THIS NATION AND CONTINUES TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUEAmerica has a proud tradition as an immigrant nation along with a long history of marginalizing those we label as “others.” If we research the history of this country for the past two and one half centuries and we will find fear, hostility, neglect, persecution and abuse leveled against multiple waves of arrivals. The American dream is a position of achievement invented by others and visualized by the masses. Our posture is a standard of achievement that should be fair and inclusive. Our personal dreams should include the overall significance we have on society. That is the true definition of success. It was only thirty years ago when our American president Ronald Regan urged Mr. Gorbachev to “tear down this wall.” Now we accept the rhetoric and consciousness that as a country we need to build a wall between non adversarial neighboring countries at peace. If we build one between the U.S. and Mexico, isn’t it only “fair’ to build one between the U.S. and Canada too? We get to choose our own individual posture. Whether we elect to sit up straight in our chair or slouch our backs is up to us. Power doesn’t shift away from us, it is surrendered by us. We can react in fear or patiently respond through understanding the fears of others. There is always a cause or causes for the place we find ourselves in. Through unity and self-empowerment, we have the means to effect change rather than simply watch it. We should not be afraid. The greatest threat we face feeling alarmed without feeling empowered. The "voice" of moral authority is destined to prevail over the letter of legal authority and the decisions of judicial authority. We should all understand the power of self sustainment, self help and self preservation. Shake-ups are good. Wake-ups are better! Change initially always meets resistance. Crisis generally creates change. Progress is inevitable. Most people are not aware or prepared for it. We now have the opportunity to band together, become more interdependent and combine our efforts and resources. It is incumbent upon us to create a future that is inclusive and benefits all. Stay engaged, stop worrying! The greatest country on earth has no need to become “great again” just greater. Democracy, determination and versatility are three of the greatest attributes working for us. Don’t sell us short. Look how far we’ve come as a planet, as a species and as a people. Examine world history. Despite the carnage and atrocities committed by men against men in the name of power, politics and religion, we have advanced and evolved!

These are excerpts from the Technology Transitions Work-space session on 12-18-16 THE CHALLENGES OF CHANGE!
In March 16th of 2016, Korea’s L’ee Sedol , the world’s most dominate “Go” player, suffered defeat three times at the hands of Google’s “(DeepMind)” A.I. computer program. “Watson” already assists in diagnosing cancer 4 times more accurate than human nurses. WATCH OUT MEDICAL RESEARCHERS! Even Facebook has pattern recognition software that they say can recognize faces better than humans. HELLO BIOMETRICS AND AUTOMATED SECURITY ACCESS SYSTEMS. GOODBYE KEY-CHAINS AND MAGNETIC STRIP CARDS! Electric cars came into existence at the same time gas and steam engine cars emerged. At that time the internal combustion engine won and emerged as the predominate technology. So the automotive industry “rode” or should we say drove that horse as long as they could. It’s easy to see them going down the same road Kodak traveled. There are many factors coming into play now. Both electric and autonomous vehicles will appear quickly within the next cycle of Moore’s Law. WATCH OUT GAS STATIONS, TAXI CABS, CHAUFFEURS, PERSONAL CAR INSURANCE AND DRIVERS! HELLO DRIVERLESS VEHCHE PAY AS YOU GO AND PRECISE TIMES OF ARRIVAL. Last year, more wind and solar energy was installed worldwide then traditional fossil fuel technologies. Battery and fuel cells are finally advancing with Moore’s law. Healthcare is soon coming to the palm of your hand. The “Tricorder X” prize has been pushed back and is scheduled to be awarded in the first half of 2017. The device based on the Star Trek episodes used by their doctors for medical analysis will become the first commercially available product designed for consumer use. Blood pressure, sugar levels, vital signs and even stress levels are deciphered. Some may ask how a scanner can detect stress. Just imagine the thinking before x-rays and ultrasound existed. It is now possible to detect our level of cortisol. Cortisol levels normally fluctuate throughout the day and night in a circadian rhythm that peaks at about 8 AM and reaches its lowest around 4 AM. While it is vital to health for the adrenals to secret more cortisol in response to stress, it is also very important that bodily functions and cortisol levels return to normal following a stressful event. Unfortunately, in our current high-stress culture, the stress response is activated so often that the body does not always have a chance to return to normal. This can lead to health problems resulting from too much circulating cortisol and/or from too little cortisol if the adrenal glands become chronically fatigued (adrenal fatigue). WATCH OUT ANNUAL CHECKUPS WITH MULTIPLE LAB TESTS! SAY HELLO SELF DIAGNOSIS, AWARENESS, PERSONAL ACCOUNTABILITY AND MANAGEMENT. Our smart phones will be getting smarter. Apps that analyze our moods, warn us of potential pitfalls and advise us on how to accomplish everyday tasks most efficiently are being developed. There is an app called “moodies which can already tell what mood we are in. By 2020 there will be apps that can tell by our facial expression if we are lying. That with a combination of continual data mining will make verbal deception almost impossible. BE THANKFUL THAT LIE DETECTORS WERE RULED INADMISSIBLE IN COURT YEARS AGO! HELLO NEW LAWS AND AMENDMENTS. Imagine a political debate where we are able to have a display that alerts us when the parties are lying! The average lifespan has steadily increased. In the U.S. we are now expected to reach the age of 80. With a life span increase of about 3 months per year now, and growing to a year per year in the future, expect to see more people around for longer periods of time. WATCH OUT SOCIAL SECURITY! It won’t be long before we will be able to simulate the pleasures transmitted from the brain without an individual having to perform the activity or take a drug. 3D virtual reality already tricks our vision and minds into processing things as if they are actually happening. The brain controls our perceptions and sense of perception. Manipulating the nerves and impulses that trigger the brain chemically and electronically has been the subject of research and experimentation for decades. IMAGINE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THESE AND MANY OTHER TECHNOLOGIES WITHOUT US BEING AWARE OF THEM! WATCH OUT DRUG DEALERS, PIMPS, PROSTITUTES AND STRIP CLUBS! Pleasures are temporary forms of happiness. There are many things we find pleasure in that are both good and bad for us. Indulging in eating, drinking, sex, smoking, drugs and alcohol do provide temporary happiness. If this was not the case people would not continue to do them. Think of the possibilities dealing with alcoholism, drug addiction and other habitual maladies of the human condition without traditional therapy. WATCH OUT REHAB, AA, NA, AND RECOVERY PROGRAMS! Although we cannot collect events, we can savor and remember precious moments. We are all collectors of one sort or another. We tend to define ourselves by our collective gatherings. Women often prioritize life through relationships while men tend to find gratification from accomplishments. Regardless of whatever we hold dear to us, experiencing the feelings we get from them becomes important. So we strive for that effect over and over again. Things that make us feel good; gratify the yearning to be happy. Sometimes the cycle becomes so compulsive that we characterize them as addictions. Even hard work and simple accomplishments produce feelings we deem as worthwhile even if the struggle took us through undesirable tasks or interactions. Sometimes the harder the endeavor the more gratified we are at the end of it. Tackling alcoholism, drug addiction and many other behavioral issues are all within the new realm of present possibilities. Today’s challenges are truly unique. We will not be able to deal with tomorrow’s problems using yesterday’s thinking. It is now practical and easier to find the proverbial needle in a haystack. Technology is seeing to that. Research is now more predictive than reactive, that is, we are at the point of responding with, before it occurs; rather than reacting to, after the fact. Yes! We see through the model in our minds. However our human condition clouds the metrics which deliver new information. As a result, we tend to instinctively rely on our prejudices. WATCH OUT RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS! Knowledge and information are continually being refined. Beliefs based on traditions and superstitions may not stand the tests of time. The true principles behind religious thought will eclipse the stories that presented them. WATCH OUT BRICK & MORTAR FURNITURE AND APPLIANCE STORES! Another method of modular integration, interchangeable parts, local production & manufacturing with 3D printers has emerged. WATCH OUT THEATERS, TRUCKING, BUS, TRAIN & TRANSPORTATION INDUSTRIES! Safe autonomous rides, shipping, deliveries, and flights are the new order of the day. Whatever happened to drug stores, pharmacies, movie rentals, repair shops, home phones, answering machines, cassette tapes, CD’s, DVD’s, hardware stores, and checkout cashiers? Fasten your seat belts; we are in for one heck of a ride. It won’t bother us as much if we have some idea of what to expect. But many will be caught by surprise like the character played by Michael Douglas in the movie “Falling Down.” The shoe company “Nike” has a new goal for the marathon called Breaking 2. WATCH OUT WORLD RECORDS, TECHNOLOGY IS COMING FOR YOU! Whether by drugs or other modifications we will now see human achievement reach new pinnacles. And beyond that threshold our robots can handle the rest. The law of attraction works through belief and action. We have the foresight through knowledge to orchestrate the future we want in light of the conditions that exist and as the new conditions usher in. It is our hope that the participants in this session internalize what has been presented as more than information. We hope to be catalyst for motivation to act, not just react but respond. As a society, regardless of the process, whether we retrogress or progress, no kingdom divided against itself can stand!
