SUMMARY:Doug Hohulin\, "People-Centered Metaverse"
DESCRIPTION:Greetings People Centered Internet (PCI) Community members: \nOur next PCI Community call will be Sunday 13 February at 11:30 AM ET GMT-5 featuring Doug Hohulin\, a regular participant on our calls. He will share: \n  \n“Creating a People-Centered Metaverse of Abundance and Opportunity for All” \n  \nDoug will provide a short overview of what is the Metaverse and how to prepare for the changes in our world that are about to take place – and insight on how to create a positive people-centered metaverse for all. The Metaverse/XR/Spatial Web 3/Web 3D is going to be as disruptive to our world in the late 2020s as smartphones were in the 2010s and cell phones & PCs in the 2000s. \n  \nToday businesses and educators are struggling with Teams & Zoom meetings and XR is difficult to use.  But in the next three to five years\, metaverse technology could be as easy to use as a smartphone.  In 10 years\, smartglasses will replace the smartphone for a fully immersive experience that is indistinguishable from the physical world.   \nRather than a world of Hyper-Reality\, Doug is working to create a world of Consonance-Reality\, a world of calmness when needed yet a world of learning\, connecting\, information\, entertainment\, excitement\, and joy when desired (preview: youtube.com/watch?v=YJg02ivYzSs). \n  \nDoug is a Metaverse – XR – Web 3D Technology & Innovation Advisor focusing on healthcare\, education\, AV/transportation and 5G/6G projects. He worked at Nokia/Motorola for 33 years connecting people to the people\, information and things they value.  Doug worked as a Government Technology & Innovation Advisor to Aspen Institute fellow to create a policy memo for the Chief Innovation Officer at the Department of Labor that addresses XR in industry and is focusing on how the Metaverse will impact the future of work.  From 1G to 5G and even 6G\, XR/Metaverse\, AV\, AI\, Telepresence\, Distance Learning\, Telemedicine\, Smart City & Digital Health projects\, Doug focuses on strategy and business development for a more abundant and sustainable world for all.  Doug is working to connect the unconnected\, the elimination of the 1.35M road traffic deaths and to increase the digital economy & reduce the physical economy to minimize humanity’s carbon footprint.  He is part of the KC Health Innovation Team kcdigitaldrive.org/project/health-innovation-team/\, KC & TxDOT AV Task Forces\, Kansas University Cybersecurity Board\, University of Central Missouri (UCM) Gigabit Lab Advisory Board and a High School VR Hackathon Mentor and girlsteaminstitute.org/  Mentor.  He co-leads the KU school of Nursing AR/AR Animating Medical Manikin Team project that won 1st Prize in the AR/VR Hackathon to use XR to lower the cost of existing $30K-$200K Manikins Solutions. This team is building a coalition of Nursing schools in the KC metro areas to deploy 5G/XR technology for medical simulation and other applications. \nDoug has spoken on 5G\, 6G\, Metaverse/XR\, AI\, AV\, future of work & Cybersecurity to K-12\, University Students\, Customers\, Partners\, Government\, IEEE and other groups. One Presentation: 6G – Bridging the Physical-Digital-Biological World: When will there be 1 Billion 5G and VR Users. linkedin.com/pulse/21st-century-billions-doug-hohulin/ \nDoug Hohulin on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/doughohulin/ \n  \nFor PCI Community member invitation only. \nTo be a member of our PCI community click here.

SUMMARY:Quantifying Quality Of Life: Quality of Life Lab
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to announce that Katarzyna Wac will join us on Sunday\, January 30th\, 2022 to discuss the work of the Quality of Life technologies Lab. \nQuantifying Quality Of Life: Quality of Life Lab \nThe QoL Lab interests revolve around the fundamental and algorithmic problems\, as well as human-centric challenges of the personal technologies enabling an assessment and improvement of human behaviour\, health\, and quality of life in the long term. The Lab closely follows the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) definition of QoL (WHOQOL) with its four domains (physical\, psychological\, social\, and environmental) and 26 contributing facets. I present state-of-the-art in the domain and draw future scenarios for these technologies. I want to sparkle a discussion on what Quality of Life domain/facet you care for and how we can measure it longitudinally? \nKatarzyna Wac Bio \nProf. Katarzyna Wac is the leader of the Quality of Life (QoL) technologies research area affiliated with the Geneva School of Economics (GSEM)\, Center for Informatics at University of Geneva (CUI\, Switzerland)\, and\, since 2015 – also with the Department of Computer Science (DIKU) of University of Copenhagen (Denmark). In 2013-2020 she was also affiliated with Stanford University School of Medicine (MED). She holds a BSc and MSc degree in Computer Science (2003) from Wroclaw University of Technology (WUT\, Poland)\, an MSc in Telematics (2004) from the University of Twente (UT\, the Netherlands)\, as well as a Ph.D. in Information Systems (2009) from University of Geneva (UNIGE\, Switzerland). \nProf. Wac’s research interests revolve around the fundamental and algorithmic problems\, as well as human-centric challenges of the systems enabling an assessment and improvement of human behaviour\, health\, and quality of life in the long term. \nSee Prof. Wac’s Google Scholar\, LinkedIN\, and Avis d’Experts profiles or physical activity profile via FitBit.

SUMMARY:PCI Community Call - Students of Leadership with Jeffrey Page
DESCRIPTION:Please join us Sunday\, December 5th at 8:30 AM PT (11:30 AM ET) for a discussion about leadership with Jeffrey Page. \nJeffrey has spent much of his career studying what makes an effective leader and how leadership skills at every level are critical to the success of every organization. Jeffrey is very excited to engage with the PCI community to explore the topic of leadership with the vast leadership experience of this community. \nJeff Page’s book\, Becoming a Student of Leadership –Making Leadership a Practice\, approaches the subject of leadership as an exercise in perpetual self-reflection – and demonstrates a direct relationship between emotional intelligence and leadership ability. Jeff doesn’t offer a simple formula or set of rules for becoming an effective leader. He presents a series of stories\, meditations\, and essays that explore universal themes of leadership\, drawing on his 30-plus years of experience as a leader with anecdotes that will resonate with readers and help them with their own reflective paths to gaining self-awareness and becoming students of leadership. \nJeffrey Page’s Bio \nhttps://jeffrey.page/ \nWith over 30 years of professional experience building and leading high-performing teams\, Jeff Page is still working on his leadership practice. He is currently working as the vice president of operations for a small government IT consulting business\, Precise Software Solutions. Prior to his current work in the private sector\, Jeff spent over 27 years working for the federal government. He served as the chief operating officer at the Corporation for National and Community Service (now named AmeriCorps) from 2014 to 2017 and as budget director from 1998 to 2005. From 2005 to 2014\, Jeff worked as the chief financial officer for the Library of Congress. Jeff began his career as a Peace Corps volunteer in the Democratic Republic of Congo\, and he spent 12 years working with the Peace Corps – 10 in Africa and two at Peace Corps headquarters. \n  \nFor PCI Community member invitation only. \nTo be a member of our PCI community click here.

It is intended in part to be an alternative to Facebook for one narrow purpose: Reaching and mobilizing potential supporters and donors. Obviously don’t want to do anything that feels like a pitch for the company\, but would be happy to preview what we’re working on and brainstorm other alternatives to FB for progressive organizers and Democratic practitioners\, if appropriate.\nSo many! How to get our users (and data) back? Specifically\, if Facebook is now largely pay to play\, what are the implications – how do we take back our audiences\, incentivize them to come to our platforms?\nWould like to dig in on transparency as a mechanism for accountability and supporting researchers like Laura Edelson.\nSession on addressing the core issue facing us today: loneliness and lack of community.\nI’d be interested in participating in a session talking about alternatives to Slack\, and/or scaling up Slack networks.\nCould Congress be remade as a Trust Engine?\nI’d like to showcase our decentralized social network and community moderation protocol\nEconomic Models for Functional Separation (how to fund moderation VS how to fund hosting)\nDecentralized social networks\nIs FB compatible with a Just Economy?\nWhat are the requirements for a Human-centered social media paradigm?\nHow can we create communication solutions that bring out the best in people online?\nWhat antitrust can and can’t do to stop Facebook\nHow to create FB replacements that are prosocial\, decentralized\, and that allow collective action for Good (not hijacked by bad actors). And how to achieve tipping point to the new models.\nWhat is the fastest way to replace Facebook Groups with usable\, non-manipulative\, ad-free forums (ideally self-hosted/peer-to-peer)\, including handling spam\, and get people all over the world feel happy to migrate rapidly?\nhuman-friendly alternatives\nAvoiding perceptions of political bias in tech\nalternative to facebook\nBest platforms for informing/organizing…what if wikis and hyperlocal daily news and a powerful CRM had a baby?\nWho is pushing decentralized social media and why; how to keep decentralized social media from devolving into genocide\nVerifiable identity through decentralized means\nIssues of Free Speech with accountability; why we are suing Twitter; the progressive potential of behavioral targeting with accountability and restraints.\nFacebook as alternative political media\nWhat governance and social incentives are needed to help move toward more responsible digital ecosystem?\nDecentralized Governance\nDecentralized identity\nHappy to talk about Hylo and the interoperability efforts of the Collaborative Technology Alliance\nmicroevents\, non-technical participants\, community building\nMicro-influencer campaigns as a replacement for FB Ads: is this something?

SUMMARY:PCI Community Call - Technology for Humanity with Sarah McCue
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to announce that Sarah McCue will join us on Sunday\, November 7th at 8:30 AM PT ( 11:30 AM ET) \nTopic: Technology for Humanity: Will Connectivity Progress Humanity? \nThe United Nations estimates that 3.6 billion people\, almost half of the world’s population\, currently lack access to the Internet.  However\, in less than a decade\, the UN is predicting that most every person will have safe and affordable access to the Internet. \nThis universal connectivity is expected by 2030\, and it is breathtaking to ponder what the world will be like when most are interconnected.  Will greater peace\, prosperity\, education\, cultural understanding\, transparency\, and overall happiness increase\, or\, instead\, will universal access to the Internet result in more war and violence\, less prosperity\, no greater access to education\, the same levels of corruption\, and a world population that is more anxious\, isolated and depressed? \nTo predict the future\, we must know our past.  We must understand how connectivity has profoundly changed our way of life since the Internet took hold in the mid-1980s\, including impact on mental and physical health\, loss of human connection\, transformation of physical communities\, loss of privacy\, and attacks on truth. \n  \n\nLoss of Human Connection\nTransformation of Physical Communities\nLoss of Privacy\nAttacks on Truth\nIs There Hope That Connectivity Will Progress Humanity?\n\n  \nSee the attached document “Technology For Humanity” for more on the outline above. \nAbout Sarah McCue \nA well-known advocate for the innovative use of information and communication technologies in developing countries\, Dr. Sarah McCue is the author of several technical books and social entrepreneur. \nShe is founder of BluWorld\, launched in collaboration with Google and Cisco Foundation to provide opportunities to youth in developing countries; co-founder of The Remembering Site\, a memoir-writing platform to write and preserve the stories of our elders; and is founder of Women with 2020 Vision to empower women through online mentoring\, initially funded by the Elon Musk Foundation.
