Hallo, Stammtischler,

As the Bay Area Stammtisch evolves, I am excited to be teaching in part my "Society and Information Technology" course again, auf Deutsch (but when 3 people join from Brazil, for example, and who don't speak German or English - and real time voice translation doesn't yet work in Google Meet either - like last week, I don't share some of these "Society and Information Technology" ideas with a flow, quite as much). But you'll find here in the 11/20/21 WUaS Agenda & News - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2021/11/112121-agenda-and-news-for-1-world-univ.html - the video recordings of the first two somewhat content-full S&IT talks from previous recent Bay Area Stammtisch, auf Deutsch, and auf Englisch - and it's interesting to share this course in German!

In about 1 1/2 hours from now -

As an alternative possible theme today, shall we talk about "Klara and the Sun"? This book by Nobel Prize Laureate, Kazuo Ishiguro, is about a Robot Girl, as Artificial Friend (AFs), and is a fascinating novelistic exploration of emerging AI, Robotics, Genetic Editing (which my course touches on), and friendship, loneliness, and information technologies :) See the 11'20'21 WUaS Agenda and News above for a Toyota Robotics Institute, for teaching robots in part, for a TRI Robotics' video - and I was amazed at how Chapter 2 of "Klara and the Sun" seems to dovetail in part with this video and related Toyota thinking even! Have been inspired to Tweet a bit about Klara and the Sun, and beyond this -

I'm wondering if I might be able to teach this course to German undergraduate students, auf Deutsch, and auf Englisch, in January 2022 or soon thereafter, and in a less interruptible format than the Bay Area Stammtisch, Simone, Peter B, Lydia, Martin, other Stammtischler?

See you soon - http://meet.google.com/pmr-uwir-zen :)

Alles Gute,

Happy Thanksgiving! 'Klara and the Sun' about a Robot Girl is great so far and the British bring Novels to be a great Art, culturally (and perhaps exploring countercultural aspects of life too, in some novels ... https://www.britannica.com/list/9-countercultural-books ???)

Nice to be with you all for Thanksgiving (and while I didn't get any 'Fair Trade' coffee (a British thing in my experience) to share, Ed and I shared a nice Thanksgiving breakfast with a veggie Turkey roast, out on the SF siting garden patio on the cool clear Thanksgiving morning. Hoping you had a nice feast too! :)

Fondly,

Scott
