There was literally too much ground to cover with Peter Singer. He was one of these interviews where you just have to let him run because he has so much to say. His knowledge and experience are too wide to cover in a short hour, but here are some key takeaways that you will learn when you listen. Major Take-Aways From This Episode: He is not a doomsday figure, but one that seeks to find alternatives, explain, and develop context to the changes that are impacting our lives. He was on a research project that asked 60 people what are the 5 trends that are of the same magnitude the release of computer in 1980: Hardware – Robots, autonomous vehicles Software – IoT, Big Data, AI Waveware – Energy Sources, solar, lasers Hardware – Additive printing and manufacturing, 3d, bits to atoms Wetware – human performance enhancing technology Bio science is impacting technological breakthroughs faster than Moore’s law on the computer side. These breakthroughs are coming in endurance, cognition, concentration and will impact everything from classrooms to high performance executive functioning. The Biological Metaphor for Security is huge. I have been using it for a while to compare tech security to how nature secures herself from threats. What can we learn from nature in order to defend our systems: Nature has designed resilient systems; Nature has natural defenses all working in unison; Public and private sector interaction; No one action can do it all; Attitude of The British =  “Keep Calm and Carry On” I have linked up all the show notes on redzonetech.net/podcast where you can get access to Peter Singer’s books and publications.
