Idea #1

Human Systems – Tools Systems CoEvolution

As our tools improve, we ought

evolve our HUMAN SYSTEMS to

leverage

As our human systems improve, we

ought guide our tools systems as

well

Feedback loops allow learning and

capability improvement –

capability infrastructure

Do this as much and as frequently

as possible – BOOTSTRAPPING!

Idea #1

Human Augmentation!! Our Capability Infrastructure AUGMENTS

our natural capabilities

But: Our Human Systems have NOT KEPT UP with our tool systems!!

Challenge: Systems for ETHICAL human

interaction – Really LIVE Augmentation!!

Question #1 In 1950 (when he was 25) Doug created a vision for himself

that drove decades of research, culminating in his 1968

demo.

This work inspired even more decades of entrepreneurship &

innovation in Silicon Valley and beyond, creating a rich

context seeded by his MOAD

What could we envision for 2018 (MOAD+50) that would

propel even more decades of entrepreneurship & innovation?
