From the Blog
No new article this week, but here’s a few worth checking out on the ol’ blog.
Worth Reading
1. Data isn't the new oil, it's the new CO2
I’ve struggled with the data privacy issue for a while now. In the wake of the reinstitution of reasonable data privacy standards, I see a change coming. The first change will be in the conceptual belief that consent is an opt-in or opt-out system. You can’t simply opt out of modern technology without suffering social consequences. The second shift is in moderating data surveillance from companies like Facebook, Google, and Amazon. #tech
2. FaceApp Is the Future
Let’s be honest, even if we knew the consequence of lending our photos to a company with surreptitious data practices, we’ll still do it for the novelty. In the new age of machine learning and big data, products like FaceApp will continue to blur the lines between a fun cultural phenomenon and deceptive data harvesting platforms. #culture
3. Remote Ideation: Synchronous vs. Asynchronous
Asynchronous remote ideation allows people to contribute ideas whenever it’s convenient to do so, but synchronous sessions lead to faster results and more team building. #futureofwork

Weekly Inspiration
ANIMA — A Short Film by Paul Thomas Anderson and Thom Yorke
A spellbinding collaboration between two of my favorite artists, famed film director Paul Thomas Anderson and Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke. This short “one-reeler” was created to promote Yorke’s newest album, Anima. Through their partnership, they’ve created one of the most mesmerizing visualizations of Yorke’s, breathtaking dream-like music. A completely fresh and surreal take from two artistic rock stars.
