Hi T Tomato,
Just a few further clarifications related to remarkable developments in the IT Revolution and re - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/InfoTechNetworkSocGlobalUniv.html (which I'm also adding to the syllabus here):
A robot is a machine capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically, especially one programmable by a computer ...
And the internet of things is "the interconnection via the Internet of computing devices embedded in everyday objects, enabling them to send and receive data." Combine the IoT with the blockchain aka distributed ledger technology. ""Distributed Ledger Technology," is about to change all aspects of digital business and according to some such as Don Tapscott, blockchain is a bigger deal than the Internet. Combine blockchain and IoT and you have two bigger deals than the Internet who need eachother for numerous reasons we explain in this IoT blockchain overview."https://www.i-scoop.eu/blockchain-distributed-ledger-technology/blockchain-iot/
And here's the Lego of DNA I mentioned -

Looking forward to your 5 page paper "riffing" draft next week, about which it would be great also to talk about in terms of specifics. And for the final version, could you possibly please read it to Youtube on video and also post a final written draft in writing to your web site - for the last day of this course on Tues. Dec 19th? And would you please post a reference to your written paper to the wiki subject page(s) at World University and School where you'd like - http://worlduniversity.wikia.
Cheers,

Hi Tad (and All),
World University and School is getting closer to planning for facilitating a cryptocurrency with blockchain ledger as an Universal Basic Income for all 7.5 billion people as a financial Assistive Technology, organized around ~200 nation states as major online universities offering free CC-4 MIT OCW-centric online degrees - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States - in their official languages, and in all 7,099 living languages. This would take form database-wise with CC-0 Wikidata (to which WUaS donated itself in October 2015) and re their/Wikipedia's front end (Miraheze Mediawiki) software and their usernames (again planning for all 7.5 billion peoples in 7,099 living languages, on smartphones, for example).
Any chance you might join us as well this evening, such that we could talk further about all this?
Best, Scott
