One last infographic I’ve been asked to share so far. This one, to me, seems to be more of a summary than an argument. I think it’s interesting to see how technology is rapidly taking center stage in our lives.

Another infographic I was asked to share, this time on social media and its impacts on productivity. Although I personally believe that social media does often severely impact productivity (hence my recent quitting of Facebook), I don’t feel this infographic does a good job of making such a point. (eg. the time people are now spending on social media… …did it used to be allocated to studying? Or other things?) But perhaps I’m wrong. What do you think?

Someone asked me to share this, and I think it has an important message, so here it is:

I thought David Pizarro’s TED talk on disgust was quite interesting. I thought it was interesting to explore the function of disgust, as well as the implications of disgust. Seeing disgust tied into both politics, social stigma, and simple perception to be incredibly interesting as well.
[Disgust] works through association. … This makes it very useful as a strategy if you want to convince somebody that an object or an individual or an entire social group is disgusting.

I don’t usually find political talks too interesting. However, I thought this one had an important message. Be sure to check out Heather Brooke on freedom of information!
I thought this was an interesting, different point of view on one aspect of capitalism. I wonder how representative it is, though? Any thoughts?
“Why should we allow such a wonderful, brilliant, and necessary product to be the cause of unnecessary suffering for human beings?” asks Bandi Mbubi in his TED talk below. He explores the origins of cell phones, their political impact on the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and what needs to be done from here.
This answered all my questions about what all those damn scientists are up to…
…I can’t believe I’ve been so easily influenced by them!
