Mobilizing youth. Why can't we start a global youth peace core whereby young people between the ages of 18 to 25 go spend a year in a foreign country. Part of the UN initiative. Building a future generation of change makers

How about starting a kick starter funding initiative that does not end in the production of a product which then leads to more consumerism but a fund to improve understanding among the youth through acts of kindness

#TAGeVIZAG youth call for education that address on the ground problems. Information used to solve problems- an intelligent society not just information society!

#tagevizag ground level is good but we live in an interconnected world with each action impacting others. So global can't be ignored, it is the grounded reality of the present world.

#tagevizag why teacher! who is limited in intelligence because of cognitive limitations. Why not use artificial intelligence which has collective human intelligence.

#tagevizag technology can indeed replace the teacher as artificial intelligence uses the collective human intelligence. In many ways, using the internet is a crude form of using the collective intelligence.

Scalable because the sector exhibits economies of scale. So initial cost is high but with scale it comes profitable. Economics will dictate technology adoption and reducing inequality in this case.

Déjà vu. Sitting in Narita airport being told that Malaysian airlines is delayed due to technical problem. Same message on the way to Narita as well 5 days ago. That was a 4 hour delay. This time, no idea. So, don't fly Malaysian airlines! Even if it is cheap tickets.
