I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Tesla isn't a damned car company: “We’re trying to make an integrated product,” Musk said during a meeting with Tesla shareholders in Fremont, California, Thursday. “So you have an integrated solar roof with a Powerwall and an electric car, and you just go into a Tesla store, just say yes, it just happens. It all works, it’s seamless and you love it.” …see more

After seeing the Henry Ford "faster horses quote" surface yet again in the context of how one should be a visionary and ignore what the customer says, I'd like to share this well-written piece by Patrick Vlaskovits from five years ago.

As you may know, I've written a book on trauma and its impact on student learning and psychosocial development. This book, Trauma Doesn't Stop at the School Door, can inform reopening of schools, whether in person, online or in some hybrid fashion. Book is available as paperback and ebook: https://lnkd.in/eCgEc8J or Amazon. Some teachers have asked for concrete items they can purchase to help students. It is for this reason that I have developed 3 products. The 1st is described here: it's a tongue twister and word play book to be used at home or in school. It has a variety of word games from spoonerisms to mad lib-like fill ins to word identification to shaped reading (reading in a shape). These are all strategies that can be deployed to manage the autonomic nervous system and encourage play while learning. And, the tongue twisters allow students and teachers and caregivers to make mistakes, play together, learn words, practice pronunciation and see that learning involves trying again and again. This book is right priced and can be pre-ordered. There are also bulk sale prices -- for 51 copies or more, the price is $6.00. Here is the pre-order link. Book available by end of August. Try it. You'll like it. https://lnkd.in/exe9Gbx …see more

Are you familiar with the concept of a "Digital Twin"? Read this great, well-written primer by Dimitri Volkmann on not only what it is but why it matters for the IIoT.

A special thank you to Lily Sanabria. I hope the discussion on trauma and reopening schools helps many educators and their students. The book referenced is sadly apt: Trauma Doesn’t Stop at the School Door ( https://lnkd.in/eCgEc8J June 2020). Available as ebook and paperback. @Amazon too. …see more

"When someone walks into a bank with a sock over their head nobody says, 'Oh, good! An anonymous bank customer!'"

Yesterday, TikTok responded on Twitter to Instagram 's announcement of Reels (a new feature that attempts to copy TikTok. Their response, however, was to retweet Instagram's announcement.

So, I shared some thoughts on why, while this isn't a fatal mistake, it was also not a great idea for TikTok to take this approach. #tiktok #tiktokban #instagramreels #instagram #brandpositioning #socialmedia …see more
