Trajectory

6/23/2018

[I hope that you enjoyed reading about Jade! If you missed the reveal and are only joining us now, please take a look.]

The same story has repeated itself throughout history. A new technology is developed, and we become dependent on it.

Society's current tech trajectory demands infinite electronics because what we have “is never fast enough” or “is never big enough.” The result is e-waste.

Shift Sight intends to bend the tech trajectory at its source. Our current dependence is not sustainable.

Once Upon a Time

6/2/2018

You have been waiting a long time to hear more about Jade. The pieces of the puzzle are falling together, and the concept reveal is on the horizon. Shown above is a rough rendering of the back, subject to change. No peeking!

Patent applications have been filed, so tonight's post contains a few tidbits. The story (and renderings) are still getting the final polish.

I was thinking about skipping this weekend’s blog post. There are a lot of important things in motion inside Shift Sight, and every minute counts. With great irony, tonight’s topic is communication with a helping of technology on the side.

The Unasked Question

5/12/2018

People are naturally curious. When presented with a question, we are inclined to seek an answer. Nowadays, technology promises an answer before we have a question.

Is there a better outcome if we pause to consider what is not being asked?

The Observer Effect

5/5/2018

When you know you are being watched, you act differently. It is impossible to do otherwise – your actions are influenced by your environment even if you do not realize it.

Life is experienced through the eye of the beholder; we need to be aware of how technology changes what we see.

The Colors That You Cannot See

People go through life typically believing what they see. We often forget that our eyes only perceive a tiny fraction of the electromagnetic spectrum.

In a parallel vein, there is a difference between what appears to be true and what is actually true.

Latency and Storage

4/14/2018

Latency and storage are relevant everywhere, not just in the technological world. How soon can I have something? Where will I put it?

In this article, I will reveal how these two greatly influence your quality of life. To ensure technology is humane and frictionless for its user, latency and storage must be considered every step of the way.

Casino Night, Part 2

3/31/2018

Statistically, last week’s post was bound to happen – writer’s block is an indisputable truth. (By the way, Shift Sight does not have a blog procedure. That was invented for your amusement.)

Since I failed to predict that this would happen, should I throw myself under the bus? Of course not. It means that I need more control. Or not.

Casino Night

3/10/2018

This post might be illegal in 48 states. It might be highly addictive due to the rush you get when reading it causes you to win big.

It might be none of these things. Life is a game of chance. Are you feeling lucky tonight?

Data or Humanity?

3/3/2018

Data is all the rage these days. The infallible belief is that something can be improved if it can be measured. I would argue that measuring certain things will break them.

Increasingly, articles and studies are surfacing that the collection of data and application of that data is not improving human well-being.
