Thinking on Paper: AI, Quantum, Web3 & The Future of Technology

Disruptors and curious minds! What is the future of artificial intelligence? How will it impact geoengineering, smart cities, and the next generation of digital natives? What about neural links, brain hacking, VR and blockchain? How are brands, fortune 500 companies and small business thinking, researching and strategizing for an uncertain future? In this episode we talk with Alexandra Whittington, a futurist writer and speaker who explores the future of humanity and society. She is a member of the Future of Business team at TCS and a former Lecturer on Foresight at the University of Houston. Alexandra has co-authored and co-edited several books on the future, including A Very Human Future, Aftershocks and Opportunities, and The Future Reinvented. Futurists (sometimes called futurologists, foresight practitioners and horizon scanners) are all job descriptions for the thinkers, writers and researchers who question what our collective futures might be and the impact emerging technologies will have on business, culture and the human condition. This is an insightful and actionable episode for anyone interested in futurism and how futurists think and work. Alexandra tells us how she became a futurist, how she researches and writes about the future, and what are the key trends and scenarios for 2024. She also shares her insights on how AI will affect geoengineering, smart cities, and the next generation of digital natives, and what are the challenges and opportunities for businesses and brands.

Disruptors and Curious minds! Welcome to the Thinking On Paper Book Club. This week we're reading chapter five of The Design of Everyday Things, by Don Norman. And we ask: What Is Human Error In Design? And does it really kill people. Buy on amazon - https://www.amazon.com/Design-Everyday-Things-Revised-Expanded/dp/0465050654 Timestamps 0:00 Welcome to book club 1:01 Why Do Mistakes Happen? 2:48 Medical Error 5:15 Human Error 10:52 (Freudian) Slips And Mistakes 15:05 Social Pressure And How Brands Can Own Mistakes 18:14 Kids Want To Fucking Know 22:30 The Paradox Of Groups & Resilience Why are we reading this book? Have you’ve ever wondered why your dishwasher won’t stop beeping? Or why your favourite website is so intuitive, yet Amazon is a clunky cesspit of UX? Why do you walk into glass doors? Why do you love some of your technology, but can’t stand your new iPhone? The answer is design. Good design, and bad design. And this is the book that explains the difference. In a world saturated with AI created content, human thought is more important and powerful than ever. But reading books isn’t enough. You have to read the right books: books which have stood the test of time; books applicable across domains; books that are as relevant today as they will be in ten, fifty, a hundred years time. At least that’s what we think. Which is why our next book was first published in 1988. It’s a story of how people interact with technology. The good, the bad and the ugly of UX and design. What works and what doesn’t. Why it works and the frameworks and mental models that will help you improve your own designs, whatever they may be. Storytelling, design constraints, human error, culture, competitive forces, launching a new product, complexity, human-centred design. You’ll never look at your kettle or a web page in the same way again. Reviews of this book "The Design of Everyday Things" by Don Norman is a timeless classic that has been reshaping the way people think about design since its publication in 1988. The book is a fascinating exploration of the ways in which everyday objects are designed, and how those designs can either help or hinder the people who use them." "The Design of Everyday Things" is one of the most amazing books I have ever read. It explores the design of everyday things through the lens of human psychology. Not only that, ill-designed objects stir frustration into their users, but they can also lead to fatal errors."

Disruptors and curious minds! This week, we explore the implications and effects of sound and music in digital experiences and ask what the internet of the future will sound like. Sound hits the brain before visual information, and our brain is looking for reasons not to believe something is real. Have you ever jumped into XR experiences with beautiful visuals only to hear a very flat stereo audio complement? If XR is going to be what the world believes it can be, sound has to be a primary consideration and not an afterthought. Jason Todd Shannon is a nexus thinker, interdisciplinary builder, producer and creative technologist. Jason’s work appears on Netflix, iHeartMedia and within campaigns for major brands like the Atlanta Hawks. His new company ECHODROME specializes in high-quality music production, scoring, immersive audio, sound design, audio post-production, and game engine audio, offering a seamless fusion of traditional artistry with state-of-the-art technology.

Disruptors and curious minds! Get your joypads out, load up your games, and hit start! Because we've got a barnstorming episode for you on music strategy for video games from League of legends and former head of music at Riot Games, Toa Dunn. Let's unpack the box: You'll learn about: 🎮How do game companies like Riot Games think, build and execute their music strategy for games? How did League of Legends give you virtual bands like Pentakill and K/DA... and more importantly, why did they do it? 🎮 From Music, development, distribution and A&R, to marketing, storytelling. In-house musicians, DJs, bands, video games are the perfect example of interdisciplinary teams. And it is a complex and fine edge to get the balance and trust right, to get the strategy right. Without it there is no Pentakill, no e-sports, no Fortnite. 🎸 On this episode of Thinking on Paper, we speak to Toa Dunn, former head of music at riot games. For over a decade, Toa managed the music strategy and developed a new core business model around music experiences at Riot Games, helping to take #leagueoflegends - and the virtual bands created from characters in game - to 200 million monthly players. Now he is taking that vast well of experience and focusing on generating meaningful impact across entertainment and technology as a music and gaming strategist.

But it resonated really well with our players.” “K/DA did not exist, there were many characters to select from so we went through this creative and strategic process to figure out the roles (and characters) of this band.” - - - - - - - - - - - - - This episode is brought to you by Wripple - Marketing’s On-demand talent platform. - Get your company matched with vetted freelancers in real time. - If you’re talent, get qualified opportunities with top brands. - Now featuring AI, Web3 and blockchain talent across verticals. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Jeremy is a futurist, writer, and nexus thinker working at the intersection of technology, entertainment and brand.
