The QTS ExperienceEpisode 152; Dr. Richard Wright: Future of Crime, Crypto Currency, Cashless Society, Street CrimeCryptocurrency and cash-free aren’t the same things – but the net result is the same whether you use cards or a bitcoin – you don’t have cash in your wallet. In the best-case scenario that can be freeing to just swipe or tap from your phone – and the transaction is complete. The worst case scenario – I’m going to save for another day – the point is that cashless is here to stay and eventually dominate. Which leads us to the conversation today – what has been the impact on crime in general and street crime in particular?

If you’re in my tribe you’re granted an element of trust and acceptance, even value. If you’re out of my tribe you rarely receive that status, almost certainly not with equal value.
When Covid pushed us all into remote work – an accidental consequence occurred: On-Premises workers and remote workers all got pushed into the same tribe. We sat there looking at each other from the same piece of glass – like a Zoom version of the Brady Bunch. No one was perceived to have more “value” as a worker or a leader, becaus...2023-02-011h 18

There are Open AI tools available that enable those of us that are creative with a little “c” to explore and create without having to have the physical skills necessary to paint or draw. To write a screenplay, or compose and play music. There are still other tools can be used in the medical and mental health fields as a counselor or a radiologist.

For the longest time I didn’t care what that meant – which is incredible when you consider I work in a data center where the ideas of the whole world live! When I learned that my home could not only automate brewing the coffee and getting the shower and lights ready – but could potentially predict what I needed and when I needed it …. My attention was piqued. So I invited my colleague Brent Bensten to come and talk to us about the world of smart devices.

Its impact on the environment, the economy, its impact on politics, on our independence, and nuclear energy sits right in the middle of that discussion. Fair or unfair, it generates the most controversy.
But should it? Silicon Valley is betting on the future of nuclear energy. Our entire naval fleet runs on nuclear energy. NASA has even sent probes to space with nuclear energy. So with that in mind, I invited Dr. Anna Erickson to come and help us t...2022-11-301h 19The QTS ExperiencePhillip Koblence & Nabeel Mahmood; Episode 142My conversation this week is with the original Digital nomads Nabeel Mahmood and Phil Koblence, the founders of The Nomad Futurist Foundation and Podcast.
