KUDOS to Dr. Peter Diamandis , CEO of the Silicon Valley-based XPrize, which offers incentives for ideas and inventions that can solve some of the worlds biggest problems, calls Wendy Schmidt at Schimdt Schmidt Ocean Institute - a techno-philanthropist. There is a marriage between wealth and technology, and a desire to create extraordinary results, Diamandis said. Wendy is not interested in incremental progress. These techno-philanthropists have seen how technology can transform entire industries, like Google. Theyve come to expect that level of transformation, and they are using their tech capital to make a huge impact. Besides, before there was a Moores Law, Doug Engelbart predicted the following - call it Engelbarts Law dougengelbart.org/about/engelbarts-law.html Nov. 2013 - The Reverse Evolution of the Worlds Oceans and The Consequences of Oceanic Destruction foreignaffairs/articles/140164/alan-b-sielen/the-devolution-of-the-seas Evolution in reverse? Yes, planet Earth is regressing eons to an earlier primitive era. Unregulated free-market competition on the high seas is turning back the evolutionary clock. That doesn’t bother today’s short-term-thinking capitalists. But it should. Because, ironically, shifting evolution into reverse will also self-destruct the very global economy that capitalism needs for future growth while capitalists are pocketing their short-term profits, leaving long-term losses for the public to pay. For example: A Study in Dimensional Scaling as applied to Electronic-Device Microminiaturization by Doug Engelbart, published through a grant from NASA AMES in 1958. sloan.stanford.edu/mousesite/EngelbartPapers/B10_F3_DimeScale.html Its Moores Law, but another had the idea first by John Markoff, New York Times on April 18, 2005. news/Its+Moores+Law,+but+another+had+the+idea+first/2100-1006_3-5674641.html So please join the Doug Engelbart Institute - the father of Human Computer Interface (HCI) - who is now calling into action a Grand Challenge for a Human Engagement Interface (HEI) DougEngelbart.org/challenge/index.html Inviting a new generation to venture together collaboratively, imaginatively, creatively, and iteratively in pursuit of a better future for humanity. Doug Engelbarts call to action is even more viable and pressing today as the scope and method of interaction and collaboration become increasingly distributed, networked, cross-functional, cross-disciplinary, cross-organizational, cross-cultural, interdependent, complex, and urgent on a global scale — just as he predicted. His prescription for the technology is essentially a checklist of what is still missing in todays tools that, when embedded in our knowledge ecosystems, will enable us to make quantum leap improvements in the way we work together on important challenges in business and society. --DougEngelbart.org Therefore, Im seeking your mentoring for bootstrapping more strategic Ocean Innovation via Internet scaling Network Improvement Communities (NICs) worldwide (e.g., systematically like powerful compounding interest: A-Task; B-Improve A; C-Improve B to improve A) based on: (A) Engelbarts law - the observation that the intrinsic rate of human performance is exponential after internet era. (B) Viewpoint that justifies (A) is that the technology is something that benefits existence of Human beings on Planet Earth. (C) In light of (A) and (B), if technology is not contributing exponentially, something is wrong or perhaps the organization is not (or has not made itself) fit for the technology. For example: * An investment that boosts A Capability provides a one-shot boost. * An investment that boosts the B Capability boosts the subsequent rate by which the A Capability increases. * Likewise, an investment that boosts the C Capability boosts the rate at which the rate of improvement can increase. Clearly, investment in type C activities is potentially highly leveraged. So the right investments here will be multiplied in returns in increased B level productivity – in the ability to improve – which will be multiplied again in returns in productivity. For instance, Ocean Innovations that Ive been helping bootstrap: (A) Oct 26, 2009 - Capt. Mary Crowley - a hero of Google Earth Outreach https://google/earth/outreach/stories/kaisei.html April 20, 2011 - Dr. Brent Constantz - founder of Calera developing Green Cement for a Blue Planet - through applied biomimicry learned from Coral & Sea Shells to turn CO2 into Ceramic Cement Products (5:44 min.) youtu.be/6UQWJn1rlgY (B) Nov. 7, 2012 - Richard Vevers co-founder of UnderwaterEarth.org and director of CatlinSeaviewSurvey Open-source technology - so Public can participate in groundbreaking scientific project via Google. Prof. Ove Hoegh-Guldberg - Chief Scientist and Stephen Catlin - CEO explains the objectives of the CatlinSeaviewSurvey (2:53 min.), including Prof. Tony Knap (5:04 min.) youtube/watch?v=wPHJs4X41ug&fe (C) Oct. 31, 2013 - Jenifer Foulkes - manager of Google Ocean A Virtual Eye on the Sea: Google Street View Beneath The Waves theconnectivist/2013/10/a-virtual-eye-on-the-sea-google-street-view-beneath-the-waves
