CALDEIRÃO DE BOLSA

Esta apresentação é fantástica.

É sobre a "fórmula para ensinar matemática"

Dura só 3 minutos e interessa de certeza a todos os participantes neste Caldeirão ...

(e até tem legendas em português)

Há sempre alguém que pergunta ao professor, "mas eu vou usar o cálculo na vida real?" E para muitos de nós, diz Arhtur Benjamin, a resposta é não. Ele oferece-nos uma proposta ousada de como tornar o ensino de matemática relevante na era digital.

Este speech dele é mais recente e até está melhor documentado.

Ray Kurzweil's latest graphs show that technology's breakneck advances will only accelerate -- recession or not. He unveils his new project, Singularity University, to study oncoming tech and guide it to benefit humanity.

Graciez Atomez!
Interessante a "take away home message" embora nada de novo visto do ponto de vista tecnologico!

Eu ate' diria que a evolucao nao e' exponencial mas sim a regressao das somas de pequenos intervalos de evolucao. Esses intervalos de evolucao tem variados perfis desde linear ate' a perfis exponenciais e com alguns gigantes saltos de evolucao (revolucoes) dos quais ele fala, e.g. do transistor para o chip. Por isso se virmos numa escala de tempo maior a regressao desssas somas essa sim da' um modelo exponencial da evolucao, mas pelo meio ate' ha' "atrasos de vida"

As previsoes podem ser feitas com alguma confianca numa escala de tempo maior, mas a proxima revolucao pode ser amanha como daqui a decadas. Achei interessante a previsao que ele fez para 2010!

E quem o diz é Ray Kurzweil.

É só aguentar até lá, pessoal!
