What I mean by this is that the emergence of tools, of which Larry's is probably an example on the very leading edge, that are augmenting our native human intelligence with computers helping us deal with complexity. This is of course what Doug Engelbart visualized so many decades ago (hence the choice of the name "augment"), and now it seems to be happening at another level. <BR/><BR/>One of the processes for such augmentation should be, in my view, the blending of the virtual and F2F realms, and it seems that there should be an interesting opportunity to do so in this context by having all 3 groups of advisors do some design work together at some point. This way the computer's pattern recognition capabilities, and the human ones, could be complementary.<BR/><BR/>It also seems to me that the Google folks would be very happy to see a proposal that contextualized what we're doing as an application of native Google capabilities to provide sophisticated, augmented human thinking processes. That would certainly raise them higher on the value totem pole than simply being in the search and advertise business.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
