- Humans will be mostly manufactured
- Maybe humanss will be manufactured, not born by year 2209. Look around now. We seem to have already made the choice. We are waiting for the technology to catch up. Kids in advanced country planted in front of PC or gaming device or some sort of machine, because there aren’t room for them to play outside. They […]...

- Use technology to communicate better
- The title seem lame: use technology to commuincate better. I hear often that we already use too much technology and not enough face-to-face real life communicaiton. It seems many of us had enough of fragmented, tedius, limiting technology communicaiton in text messaging, both in forms of e-mail and homepages including blogs. In the world of web 2.0, […]...

- President of a major global company, president of a country
- Watching Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s speech at UCLA for the inauguration of UCLA Chancellor Gene D. Block, I started to think of the responsibilities of a president of a major global company and a president of a country. Both are ultimately leaders who’s action and decisions affects everyone within his/her company or country. Just as with a country one […]...

- “Japan is all about the way of doing things”
- For the past couple of months, I’ve been having fun with Twitter. Each day, I interact with all sorts of people of the world, finding very intersting information.

- Now it’s going too far the other way?
- I don’t think open plan in office works without having easily accessible private room or cubicle to use in need. Like everything else, it’s not one size fits all. How the workspace should be layed out depends on your job. I thought of this because recently, I have seen several article that says open plan does not work, like […]...

- Potential of Twitter in Japan
- Uchida Yoko people thought it was another one of those crazy ideas I brought in. Rather than doing Q&A after panel discussion, I proposed that we set it up so that everyone can post question or comment during panel discussion to realize audience participation. I explained that people would feel freer to express […]...

- Not new, but real needs of knowledge workers
- The current advanced region’s challenge is to match the wokplace and technologies for the workforce who are considered knowledge workers. This is to be quantified, but random interviews conducted has shown that our productivity in focused PC based knowledge activities such as reading and writing are highest in general public spaces such as cafes and […]...

- Astrology based on changed position of sun rising
- Discovering this kind of thing is just so much fun! I mean, we could point out that what astrologers say are vague and also two astrological readings on same person would contradict each other, but that kind of argument would still leave a possibility of one or more astrologers in the world might be right. When we talk about […]...
