Inside the Pacific Netware Technosystem - talk by Salvatore Babones
"Earth 2.0 - A Sustainable Human-Earth OS" - talk by Tencent CXO @dwallerstein (at 2018 Tencent WE Summit). #Regenerative #OS #ClimateChange #Technology #FFHCI
It is refreshing, timely & sane to see a executive (@dwallerstein) of a tech giant (tencent) give a keynote on climate change & outline a strategic vision for the role of tech (AI, IOT etc) to tackle this challenge (& opportunity). US tech seems deep asleep on this crucial issue.

Tired: The great firewall of China. Wired: The Great Green Wall of Africa.
More than 20 African countries have joined together to plant a giant wall of trees that will run across the continent to stop the spread of the Sahara Desert.

Concept of the day: "Data Fracking"
