Wonder full! Do you have plans? Even simple dimensions and/or template...

consumerism >> GDP ...

This is so wonderful, Howard! I love it.

You rock.

I'm curious if you knew if Nelson, Engelbart or any of their contemporaries had/maintained/used commonplace books or card indexes as precursors of their computing work? That is, those along the lines of those most commonly used by academics, for example as described by Markus Krajewski in Paper Machines (MIT Press, 2011) or even Beatrice Webb's Appendix C on Note Taking in My Apprenticeship (Longmans, 1926) in which she describes a slip (or index card)-based database method of scientific note taking. I've always felt that Vannevar Bush held things back unnecessarily by not mentioning commonplace book traditions in As We May Think.

Thanks again.

Thanks

excellent moment in time, thanks for sharing.

Cool!

Don, I have not received email from you via [email protected]

Finding this almost a decade later... While looking for something more recent on strategies for parents concerned about smartphones killing children's creativity by removing their need to find creative escapes from "boredom." First, I guess, parents and teachers have to be more mindful of their own level of attention and mindfulness.

Wow watching this in 2021 when one of the wives (sorry not sure which wife) was talking about medical information and dis/miss-information online it really rings loud right now! What a superb video. Thank you Howard.

epic!! thankyou Howard !!!

Nkce explanation sir.. It helped me a lot

Really nice, you got skills!

Does the pull out panel glow in the dark? It looks like it could be phosphorescent

How did you make this!?

Lunch or dinner... When? Anke & I will be there...

very nice garden

I’m quite skeptical here. I don’t think there is any fundamental difference between “crap detection,” and thinking, but more importantly, that there is any fundamental difference between pre and post-Internet thinking, from the point of view of being exposed to or seeking out information and being able to determine the value and robustness of the information and its source. We used to have to be careful about assuming books we read brought us truth, or even something useful. We still do. The Internet is different from a book or a newspaper, but assessing its content does not require a different thinking skill than what was needed in “the old days.” Teaching this skill then is not fundamentally different than today. There are things people can learn. Some will learn it better than others. Children will have a harder time. Then and now. Personally I think the best way for people to improve their built-in ability to think in this context is to read a lot and write a lot where there is frequent use of argumentation. They need to learn how to argue, to dissect arguments, and through this their brainpower in this area will improve. It takes time but we have been doing it for centuries.

We shot Howard and the video of the Well Party in 1989 for a British/European futurist TV Series called Things to Come. It had just one season, and no-one in the US wanted to buy it or even do a US version of it. We tried to relaunch it on PBS through KQED, the San Francisco PBS station, but no corporations would underwrite. It was a bit too "way out" (as we used to say), apparently, and had humor too: many people hate you if you try to be funny about the future. With Covid-19, being humorous about the strangeness of the future becomes doubly difficult. David Kennard incafilms.com

The wonderful videographers had magical subjects -- how utterly lovely!

Lovely, Howard. Thanks for sharing...

What a great video. A heartwarming look behind the scenes so to speak. You probably caught Doug right before it was too late for him to collect his thoughts. Fun to see Ted off the hook.

A fine conversation! Turner does a fine job of pinpointing the intersection between today's social justice movements and the techlash.

Thank you for sharing this! Such a treat. It feels like I'm hanging out with some of the greatest minds in contemporary history!

Thank you for all that you have contributed via KZbin et al, I've been inspired by your creations and the legacy you continue to foster. I've been following you via Justin Hall ever since MacWorld 98' Although I didn't venture into Arduino , I appreciate what you have done with it. Keep up the good work!

masterful! Nice work Howard.

Very colorful and lovely

When was this first created?

I made it myself thanks to inplix website.

Howard, Of course I will join in, but I have too much stuff and am trying to get rid of it, so no need to send me any of your swag. Keep me posted about Patreon.

Why do you no longer post? Here are G+.

Like BlocklyDuino, BlocklyDuino-Enhanced and TUNIOT. Check out the last 2 languages at easycoding.tn TUNIOT is essentially BlocklyDuino-Enhanced for the ESP8266 based NodeMCU boards with extensions (additional code blocks) for WiFi server, client and access point functions. TUNIOT makes it easy to set up a small WiFi server on a inexpensive IOT enabled MCU board in order to implement IoT applications using Arduino-like devices of (just about) all kinds. A great way to introduce IoT project development to middle-schoolers and other newbies who have previous exposure to Arduino..

With regard to the RGB demo, using a ping-pong ball with a suitably sized hole to go around your RGB_LED (as a kind of "shade") will help to better mix the colors. Also, starring at these (uncovered) LEDs for a long time make my eyes sore, so I wonder if prolonged exposure can damage the eyes? This is especially true of bright LEDs used with lower value current limiting resistors). However, with the ping-pong ball "shade" covering the LEDs, this is no longer a problem. Just a tip... I have also read that the red LED part of a RGB LED is brighter than the blue and green LEDs, so you may want to go with a slightly higher value of resistor for the red color lead. This should help produce a better color mix. As I recall, they used a 390 ohm resistor on red, and 330 ohm resistors on blue and green.

These days there are several implementations of "BlocklyDuino" (including BlocklyDuino Enhanced and TUNIOT (i.e Blockly Duino for the ESP8266 NodeMCU board with WiFi support) from www.wasycoding.tn) which provide various combinations of code blocks for Arduino and other MCU boards. BlocklyDuino is like ArduBlock in that it is a block language front-end for the Arduino IDE/C language. You can quickly and easily program using the Scratch like command blocks, click a button and have the C code which you can cut and paste into the Arduino IDE, do further editing there if you want, and compile and upload the resulting code to the Arduino MCU board. The Arduino IDE supports a larger set of non-Arduino board including ESP-8266 by load in a "core" module that supports the processor in question into the Arduino IDE. In the case of the ESP-8266 this would be the ESP-8266 Core for Arduino, available on GitHub. With this in place, you can use BlocklyDuino to produce code for the ESP8266, but there will be some Arduino I/O pin to ESP8266 GPIO pin remapping that will likely trip you up. So, the folks at www.easycoding.tn have come up with a new version of BlocklyDuino re-written for the ESP8266 and includes many new code blocks, including those required to do WiFi server, WiFi client and WiFi A.P. applications. Really cool stuff. Also, the more capable (a more expensive) ESP-32 is now out and is supported using the same software. Another interesting language is MicroPython that runs on the ESP8266 (and soon the ESP-32) WiFi processors. Google and KZbin have a bunch of tutorial these days on both the ESP8266 (NodeMCU), the ESP8266 Core and MicroPython. There are also some KZbin videos on TUNIOT. Check them out.

That's awesome!

Interior space as Dream Office--what a great understanding of the way what is interior is reflected in what we choose to surround ourselves with. Thanks for the tour!

I think you are a Maximizer and that's your problem, no matter how much filters you have it will always be time waster to check all that info.

NICE HOWARD, BUT I READ IT AS TITBRUSH.

Thank you. How can we get access to one of these courses?

Okay, I shared it on Linkedin. Things are really going to change now.

I posted this on Linkedin. We need the world to change today. Thanks Prof.Rheingold.

Fred Turner-You sir, look a bit (ever so slight perhaps) like Douglas Adams. How lucky you are!

very, very important discussion.... George shows the path from constructivist to connectivist learning environments. Wish the interviewer didn't focus the conversation on specific technologies. George's insight to the theoretical and pedagogical considerations for "content as the conduit" to learning connections is most important and technologies can always be explored and selected to optimize the constructivist and connectivist learning environments...
