Don’t TMI: Info overloadLearn about a new family of technologies that will have great consequences for practice in your field

once it becomes widely available. By a "family" I mean a broad category of technologies such as nanotechnology or grid computing around which new institutions of research and application are forming, rather than a single invention that may or may not build a critical mass of acceptance. In general, build yourself an intelligence system for learning what new research is in the pipeline, so that you can formulate the issues that will become important once the new methods become practical. If you're not interested in technologies, then try government policies instead. Government policies have an immense and generally non-obvious impact on society, thus creating opportunities for people who are aware of them. Keep yourself apprised, therefore, of the pipeline of new policies that fall even remotely within your field of competence, including seemingly small and obscure ones whose significance no one else recognizes, and identify the ones whose impacts are going to be issues for your field.

Like whispers, small inputs encourage closer attention…

Page 34: Effective Presentations - Laulima · 2017-02-07 · Presentation secrets of Steve Jobs 1. Create memorable moments 2. Humanize numbers 3. Think visually 4. Create Twitter-friendly

…just make sure what you’re whispering is worth paying attention to!
