What is your super idea?

What is your super idea?

These days the world is galloping in a mega fast rhythm. The main currency is not the oil, gold or other materialistic stuff. Tt is - IDEAS. Some are crazy, some are impossible to understand, some are unreal or even too simple. Still the idea can be transformed into something worth in right hands.  

E.G.
- Good example - Japan with the low amount of materials for productions, but with the top auto productive. They used to buy axes from 1st class metal in USSR and then remake it into razor blades and resell it back. What an idea! 

- Good example of brain drain - Silicon Valley. It is more than a hub. The military potential in good hands can create useful technologies. 
- Good example - google science fair This project is global, or even universal. In several hundreds years we will find out its potential - www.googlesciencefair.com

How
- share - open.ted.com And you can start changing the world by simple upload of your video
- travel - http://www.theadventurists.com/mongol-rally/ - where the charity is the main purpose
- learn - online portals for education
- observe - by experimenting
- create - whatever you create, make it universal
- Sell - Sell your ideas for your own sake. There are plenty of platforms to sell your ideas by online seminars, on different platforms etc. In the sharing I mean the social business, which has the main aim not to learn but to teach others. In teaching you are learning faster than ever.

Conclusions
What we have in New age of information - a new currency of ideas. Interestingly, what would be the currency in the next era?
A small advice for those with mega ideas - Get the world notice you - there is a bundle of means.
What is more, the new trend in media sphere is targeting their messages not to the masses but to the MIND. In such way the main idea - is to stress the thinking and analyzing news.

How we choose!?

To choose or not to choose? - this question we post to ourselves every day whether we are in the supermarket or just choosing the right colour of new clothes.

The science is marching in a fast rhythm and more and more new possibilities are opening so that new professions appear.


Architect of choice is a new profession. People usually tend to transfer the responsibility of their choice on other people. The architect of choice has his share in our buying habits. New marketing strategies are absorbing the information about our tastes, likings etc, so through the social media we are voluntary giving away our private information. Though in the book - Nudge by author R.Thaller, the choice of people can crucially change their wellbeing, health, life.

Truly speaking, the upside down revolution in the behaviour of humans lately suggested the other term - econ (after R.Thalller and his psychological economics) which is irrational in his deeds thus actions.


The world famous corporation Google makes a choice instead of us or help to make it.
The main spheres are:
- individuality
- the feeling of being special
- somebody is supposed to do the bunch of researchers


In such cases people are thinking that some man already was doing the research in this sphere so it is easier to simply copy their work. A modern world is too fast to do all the things by each separately. The noosphere is full of suggestions.
We live in a consumer world, where everything is targeted at our brain and consequently pocket. So it is like a game where we are supposed to be the prey. 

p.s. For public sector www.behaviouralinsights.co.uk in UK is the perfect team working with people, they are serving. And their report here.

Becoming an adult. Practical reccomendations for freshmen at University

How do adults communicate in e-world?

Starting from the first day at the university, I recommend you to learn how to:
1. Use email as often as social media.  Make it a habit.
2. Use email with your name and surname in it. No nicknames. Or at least not funny.
3. Use in email polite words and punctuation.
4. Nobody reads long email, if yes - only in a week or two or never.
5. Formal language is for formal use, icons for social media. Mail is adult quality. Grow.
6. Email can be used in proving some important argues.
7. Never trust simple words, but written emails with names and dates.

PC Game as a country visit card or cultural identity

What is your favourite action game?  - So you must visit this country!

Before coming to work, study, live we regularly start to discover the target culture. We try its language, listen to music, read its history in a Wikipedia. But I offer you to play its games to feel the target country:

- Ukraine's S.T.A.L.K.E.R. In the first moment and not very happy that it is based on the true story. But the real facts in the game are out of truth, if only you want to check it out. 
- Ukraine's COSSACKS. If going more deeply onto history, we can find many interesting facts about ourselves. Like the knights and simple people becoming heroes and fighters for freedom.
- Poland's The Witcher. If we move more to the West we will meet other slaves with their dark story and medieval times that is also very grasping.

- USA. Here we can make shootings, but  GTA

and Call of Duty are the essence of an American soul.

It can be called like the cultural identity that helps people to find their place in the world of globalization. Through games, we learn some important things that will later will be very helpful in our real lives.
