Black-capped chickadee (Poecile atricapillus): Pew Research Center for Internet and Society annual survey * "What reforms or initiatives may have the biggest impact? What beneficial role do you see tech leaders and/or politicians and/or public audiences playing in this evolution? What will be noticeably improved about digital life for the average user 2035? What current problems do you see being diminished? Which will persist and continue to raise major concerns?" * * To imagine a better world online: Free universal education * Universal Basic Income experiments to end poverty

Next: Anna's hummingbird (Calypte anna): Avatar bots emerging ... talking ... and for genealogy platforms? * Google Earth Image - & Genealogy Avatar Bots (of our ancestors), * And agreed, - and yet from within the Google Street View ecosystem perspective, with the upload-able image behind it (or or .mp4 video perspective), this is the first I've seen of a beginning almost-avatar in Google (Google in my experience hasn't done much at all with avatars ... ) ... and it can't talk either!!!! :) since I haven't seen any lip movements on Google platforms ... except perhaps in the Youtube (also Google) animation of Max Ehrmann 'reading' his Desiderata at the end (around slide 90) of my UC Berkeley Anthropology talk * * Doubleday's hummingbird (Cynanthus doubledayi): Creating a realistic virtual earth for tourism and tourism studies with actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs: A Case Study * UC Berkeley Anthropology TSWG talk on F 12/18/2020 at 4 pm PT * * Here's the TSWG video from Friday, 12/18/20 - "SGK MacLeod TSWG 12 18 2020 Creating a Realistic Virtual Earth Harbin for Tourism" * * Now why can't we head into virtual Harbin right now from home ~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg ~ and soak, and do / write / EWVWG ethnography at the e-same time? ... and simply hang out in the pool area socially, as well as head into the pools some times?

Pew Research Center for Internet and Society annual survey


2021 Pew-Elon Research -- Internet and Technology Project Canvassing


Canvassing of experts by Pew Research Center about the future of digital spaces and survey closes on Sunday night

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/?sm=4Adl2gCuoOvvOeusDKz11g_3D_3D


What reforms or initiatives may have the biggest impact? What beneficial role do you see tech leaders and/or politicians and/or public audiences playing in this evolution? What will be noticeably improved about digital life for the average user 2035? What current problems do you see being diminished? Which will persist and continue to raise major concerns?

I think the following initiatives may have a big impact - 


A

Realistic Virtual Earth for everything – and especially Actual-Virtual, Physical-Digital developments and conversation 

https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1420389857940156420?s=20

https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarth?src=hashtag_click



B

Single cryptocurrency – such Stanford Mine Pi - to end poverty for all 7.8 billion people and via UBI experiments, with each receiving person a Wikidata Pin # for distribution questions (as well as a device to access this)

C

World University and School – like CC-4 MIT OCW in its 4 languages with Wikipedia in its 300 languages - planned 


i

in each of ~200 countries, and 7,139 known living languages, for free online university and high school degrees, Bachelor, PhD, Law, MD and IB high school of similar, and


ii

as wiki schools for open teaching and learning in all 7139 living languages, - for free universal education and via people to people wiki approaches. ... will have a significant impact.

What is one example of an aspect of digital life that you think could be different in 2035 than it is today? We invite you to create a vignette of something you would like to see taking place in a “new and improved” digital realm in 2035. Your example might involve politics or social activities or jobs or physical and mental health or community life or education. Feel free to think expansively – and specifically.


- Online MD psychiatrists in each of all ~200 countries, and in their main languages


WUaS seeks to instruct, develop (and hire) highest quality online MD psychiatrists in each of all ~200 countries, and in their main languages, and eventually via interactive avatar bot and chat bots – and for free psychiatry eventually.

https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States

https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages



In addition WUaS seeks to develop excellent career and guidance artificial intelligence chat bots and similar.


A realistic virtual Harbin Hot Springs


World Univ & Sch also seeks to develop a realistic virtual Harbin Hot Springs for soaking (in bath tubs and similar), meditating from home, and socializing and hanging out in – and for Actual-Virtual, Physical-Digital ethnographic (and STEM and social science) research, in which to explore further too questions about envisioning a better world, wiki-wise even – and regarding a new social science and STEM method  I’m calling ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy.

No matter how you’ve answered the previous questions, we invite you to imagine a better world online: What is one example of an aspect of digital life that you think could be different in 2035 than it is today? We invite you to create a vignette of something you would like to see taking place in a “new and improved” digital realm in 2035. Your example might involve politics or social activities or jobs or physical and mental health or community life or education. Feel free to think expansively – and specifically.


To imagine a better world online:

Free universal education

WUaS envisions free universal education with people to people wiki teaching about subjects they love, in all ~200 countries’ and in their official and main languages, and in all 7139 known living languages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects. WUaS seeks to cultivate flourishing cultures and communities of learning and teaching about subjects people love in an open-ended way, as well as subjects that are academically oriented.


Free-to-student’s degrees, emerging from CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare in its 4 languages, for Bachelor, Ph.D., Law, MD and IB high school in each of all 200 countries and in their main languages. 


Universal Basic Income experiments to end poverty

To distribute a single crypto-currency (think Stanford Mine Pi) worldwide in all ~200 countries – via UBI experiments and especially to end poverty, World Univ & Sch seeks to plan to code for all 7.8 billion people, each a Wikidata Pin # and that each person could become too a wiki teacher or learner at WUaS (while receiving Stanford Mine Pi, which, for examples, nation states, would invest in). Think also what comes after the Euro in 19 out 28 countries regarding a digital currency, and what comes after the US dollar too.
