Teams at both Apple and Samsung are working on non-invasive glucose monitors in watch form which is exciting. That will be a product that helps a lot of people. It will be a very useful application of technology to provide real time information to people. I think we are going to see a lot of wearable health technology going forward. People seem to have an appetite for it and the technology is now reaching a place where things are becoming possible that could be really interesting.
Yesterday morning, I took the time to scroll all the way back to the start of my Google Keep feed this morning. Right now I am way back in my notes from 2013 to 2017. I’m going to share some of the more interesting ones. A lot of them just got archived in Google Keep. Very few were just deleted.
- Writing like a memory jukebox that produces one story at a time
- What is the utility of all the reminders of a certain day image or notes from agents?
- Write a modern treatise on society based on expanding observation from a single person’s perspective to a wider social net
- Where is all the innovation happening? Does that change over time?
- Has social media fragmentation changed local business marketing?
- A really weird setting of what should have been an asynchronous meeting because the person is not really ready to fully participate. Person is so busy that they can only engage to be critical and ask questions but are not ready for the second wave of questions or to provide any additional context.
- Organizing and sustaining decentralized communities of interest. AKA Community organizing revisited: The basics of organizing are pretty simple. Fundamentally this is a treatise on how to bring people together for a common purpose. A community is a diverse ecosystem that has a number of stakeholders and competing interests. Initially building an organizational map of the community takes time and access to key stakeholders. A shared purpose toward a common outcome is the basic building block of an organically built sustainable community. Organizing decentralized communities requires more than basic political methods. Political organizing and fundraising has become more targeted, but at the same time it has become less personal. A political contributor may make donations and read emails from a group without any personal relationship with the organization. Follow up sections: Mapping the networks, Triangulation strategy, Digital vs. Personal, Managing the message, Building frameworks, and Sustainability vs. Outcomes.
- Civility’s commons: an uncommon civility
- Do people really trust a user group to define the future of a product?
- Questions about how faculty at colleges become a commodity. Does this demonstrate an oversupply of potential faculty or some other change?
- Survey fatigue breaking the polling industry
- Influencing the public mind: a study of multichannel influence and the public mind
- Build an economic model using the original Google search algorithm
- Revisit sentiment mining paper
Some of the things that got stored in Google Keep are things that were not a part of my backlog system or really anything beyond a note taken at the time. The context is now gone and some of the notes are really short. Most of my notes are a few words and that is it in Google Keep. A few of them are longer like the ones above. If I went back to trying to write 3,000 words or more per day, then it would be a great prompt library to help use the current context to evaluate the prompt and produce content. Honestly, none of the bullets above caused the spark of innovation to get me to write about them in a meaningful way.
I did listen to this podcast and enjoyed it:
