Interests

Lately I've been especially interested in Web Development, Smartphones, Tablets and other mobile technologies. I've always wanted to be able to teleport, perhaps rather than focusing on moving the matter from which consciousness arrises, the focus should be on moving consciousness. Stories and culture move consciousness and it seems humans have been expanding this process more and more as time goes on.

Also I've been thinking a lot about questions like this:

What problems are computers best at solving?

What problems are humans best at solving?

How can we most harmoniously make use of our human and technological resources for the betterment of all? (To be clear, when I say 'all' I am definitely not referring only to humans.)

How can we learn from the wisdom of communities and civilizations of the past while embracing modern technology?

Why does technology so often run ahead of cultures that are able to use it responsibly and what can we do to change that?

How can we as a global culture become prepared for the inevitable revolutions in technology soon to arrive that empower us to save or destroy ourselves?
