Concept of the day: Exaptation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exaptation
"Adaptation of an existing structure for a completely different purpose"
Example: Feathers - birds use them for flight but dinosaurs used them first for insulation.

Human Sensor Networks: http://cognitive-edge.com/blog/human-sensor-networks-the-ultimate-executive-coach/
“…when you engage a significant percentage of employees, customers, or citizens in the continuous process of recording not only observations and experiences, but also the meaning and influences that such observations and experiences have on them, you have in effect created a human sensor network. The key is to provide people with a semi-constrained framework of meaning through which they reflect on their experience or observation and signify the meaning of each specific observation or experience. The framework of meaning may relate to corporate culture, innovation, safety, engagement, knowledge transfer, or other topic spaces with some initiatives having a combination.”

"Living Infrastructure" - by Martina Huynh:
http://martinahuynh.com/living_infrastructure.html
-
- Living infrastructures preferable to augmented systems.
- Use existing natural networks instead of making cities smart artificially.
- Look for a symbiosis with exiting natural networks like the WoodWideWeb & myceleum.
- Develop technology that grows freely. Fungi grows everywhere and is also a conductor for data streams.
- A network infrastructure should be Alive. Able to adapt. Able to evolve. Maintain itself.
Thoughts expressed by Martina Huynh in a talk at thingsCon 2018 in Amsterdam
- Living infrastructures preferable to augmented systems.

"It's somewhat comedic to watch the ML community rediscover key insights the Alife & Evolutionary Computation communities had back in the 1980s and Alan Turing back in the 1940s" - @samim
"IMHO it is impossible to keep up with current literature and learn all the history given the firehose of the last years. We are missing historians that can create easily accessible digests of what happened in earlier decades." - @cmarschner
"This is true. Perspective wants to be expensive. A substantial part of my job is often connecting the past dots, identifying "adjacent possibles" and constructing a grounded future narrative." - @samim
