Tipped Out. Evolution of Change: Signs for the Future of Business | Smart Data Collective. I like taking the time once in a while to tie different trends together, it just helps me focus on what's really happening now and helps me understand where things might be going. Taken individually there are some very interesting things happening in technology and business but when you link them together a picture starts to emerge that is almost staggering in depth and breadth of change potential.
I was reading "The Singularity is Near" by Ray Kurzweil the other day and a point jumped out at me that I think is extremely important when looking at change, whether you agree with Kurzweil's ideas on singularity or not. That concept is that technology growth or the growth of any evolutionary process is exponential, and is not linear or does not simply continue at current growth rates over time. In fact many evolutionary processes see double exponential growth, so in fact the growth of the exponent is exponential. So what are the individual changes or shifts that we are seeing? Big data.

This has been a favorite topic of much speculation among tech enthusiasts for many years. I think we are already witnessing a paradigm shift – a move away from simple social sharing towards personalized, relevant content. The key element of the next big thing is the increasing significance of the Interest Graph to complement the Social Graph. While Facebook, Twitter, and Google are already working on delivering relevant content, a slew of startups are focusing exclusively on it. Relevance is the only solution to the problem of information overload. The above matrix is a representation of how the process of online information discovery has evolved over time.

Doctors who treat women with ADHD have noted correlations between ADHD symptoms and hormonal fluctuations, not only monthly but over the lifetime of a woman.

The more I’ve learned about happiness, the more I’ve come to believe that loneliness is a common and important obstacle to consider. A while back, after reading John Cacioppo’s fascinating book Loneliness, I posted Some counter-intuitive facts about loneliness, and several people responded by asking, “Okay, but what do I do about it?
What steps can I take to feel less lonely?” I recently finished another fascinating book, Lonely—a memoir by Emily White, about her own experiences and research into loneliness. White doesn’t attempt to give specific advice about how to combat loneliness, but from her book, I gleaned these strategies: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Most people have suffered from loneliness at some point. Gretchen Rubin is the author of the #1 New York Times Bestseller, The Happiness Project—an account of the year she spent test-driving the wisdom of the ages, current scientific studies, and lessons from popular culture about how to be happier.
Time Magazine: "The Power of (Shyness)" and High Sensitivity. To the highly sensitive persons of the world and their friends: A hearty congratulations. In a sense, we made the cover of Time . No, we are not necessarily shy and not always introverted , but the book which prompted the article, Susan Cain's Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can't Stop Talking, is actually more about HSPs than social introverts, so we're getting there. Perhaps in a year or two the highly sensitive person will be Time's person of the year! I am very sorry, however, that the 30% of "HSPs" who are social extraverts were left out of all of this. Cain's Quiet does usually have the trait right, if not the name, and there is certainly justification for confusion given the overlap, that 70% of HSPs are social introverts.
The problem is really not Susan's. Well, whatever we name this trait, the most recent research suggests that the general strategy of being more sensitive is determined by multiple genes , and these do not come with names on them. How to Know When You're Wrong (and What You Can Do About It) My great friend at university is like this, and it's one of the only things that will cause us to argue. I once said to him, that honestly, he comes across as acting as though he's right every time until proof is presented that he is unequivocally wrong.
He didn't seem to understand what was wrong with that ¬¬. But yeah, once we were talking and he said he'd seen one of my friends around town, even though this friend had previously stated he had gone back home and was ill. Unfortunately because of his awful track record with judgement of situations AND confidence in how correct he is, I simply couldn't believe him. But anyways, I'm proud to say I tend to be very good at seeing if I'm wrong and admitting it. Random tangential ranting over and out :P. 15 Tips for Overcoming Insecurity. Scientists Prove DNA Can Be Reprogrammed by Words and Frequencies. By Grazyna Fosar and Franz Bludorf THE HUMAN DNA IS A BIOLOGICAL INTERNET and superior in many aspects to the artificial one. Russian scientific research directly or indirectly explains phenomena such as clairvoyance, intuition, spontaneous and remote acts of healing, self healing, affirmation techniques, unusual light/auras around people (namely spiritual masters), mind’s influence on weather patterns and much more.
In addition, there is evidence for a whole new type of medicine in which DNA can be influenced and reprogrammed by words and frequencies WITHOUT cutting out and replacing single genes. Only 10% of our DNA is being used for building proteins. The Russian biophysicist and molecular biologist Pjotr Garjajev and his colleagues also explored the vibrational behavior of the DNA.
One can simply use words and sentences of the human language! Garjajev’s research group succeeded in proving that with this method chromosomes damaged by x-rays for example can be repaired.

Surround Yourself With Progress. When you complete a list of action steps, your instinct might be to throw the list away. After all, the work is completed! However, some creative professional teams take a different approach; they relish their progress. Some go so far as surrounding themselves with it. The inspiration to brainstorm comes easy, but the inspiration to take action is rare. Why not decorate your work space with completed action steps? There is no better push-towards-taking-action than action itself. 5 Characteristics And Traits Of Selfish People. Many a times we come across people who are hard to forget. Well, not always because they are helpful or bequeath us with some wonderful experiences, but sometimes because they give us unforgettable awful experiences with their utterly bad behavior and selfish characteristics.
Though, we hardly expect everybody to be good and helpful to us, we don’t even expect that people use us for their benefits and behave in a manner to make us feel low or worthless. We don’t expect that people should help us in return for everything we do for them, but we do expect that people would at least notice and weigh our efforts made to help them and not just take our efforts as granted.
Despite this, we still come across people who are mean, arrogant, egotistical and selfish. Encounters with such people leave us feeling hurtful and used to a great extent. Moreover, if one is a sensitive person with a soft heart, then such associations might give them hard-to-forget, distressing experiences. Seeing Problems — The Dana Guide.

Most of us never have a problem with our sight, other than having to wear glasses. We can see minute objects, experience color, and take in vast panoramas without a thought that something could go wrong. Your retina acts like the light sensor in a digital camera: its photodetector neurons, the rods and cones and the other retinal neurons to which they connect, convert the light that flows into your eyeball into electrical signals. Many conditions occurring along this pathway can affect your ability to see. Whatever turns out to be the cause of a vision problem, it is a serious problem that demands quick medical attention.
