Tabula Rosa Systems Blog Of 10/1/2015 - Jeb Bush is The Ultimate Anti-Internet Candidate

Jeb Bush is the ultimate anti-internet candidate

The Republican hopeful positioned himself as pro-data collection and anti-encryption in a race where privacy and net neutrality have never mattered more
Saturday 26 September 2015 06.45 EDT Last modified on Saturday 26 September 201509.48 EDT from theguardian.com
Do you want to live in a country where Internet Service Providers can slow down and censor your internet traffic at will, where the NSA has vastly more power than it does today and where end-to-end encryption may be illegal? Then Jeb Bush is the Republican presidential contender for you: he has positioned himself as the anti-internet candidate in an election where internet rights have never mattered more.
A lot of the White House candidates have made worrying comments about the future of surveillance and the internet – from Chris Christie’s bizarre vow to track10 million people like FedEx packages, to Hillary Clinton’s waffling on encryption backdoors – but Jeb Bush’s deliberate campaign to roll back internet rights is the perfect storm of awful.
Bush proudly stated on his campaign website this week that he would axe the FCC’s important net neutrality rules, a hard-fought, grassroots victory from earlier this year by internet rights activists almost a decade in the making. As the New York Times described it at the time, the net neutrality rules “are intended to ensure that no content is blocked and that the internet is not divided into pay-to-play fast lanes for internet and media companies that can afford it and slow lanes for everyone else.”
The idea that ISPs shouldn’t be able to censor internet or slow down traffic at the behest of paying corporations seems like something everyone can agree on, right?
As Gizmodo’s Kate Knibbs put it, however, “Instead of viewing the FCC’s net neutrality rule as a safeguard for consumers, Bush is framing it a way to sandbag ISPs out of their rightful profit margins, with no upside for people using their services.” Jeb Bush is apparently happy to side with Comcast and Time Warner, two of the most hated conglomerates in America, rather than the tens of millions of people who just want watch Netflix every night without their internet slowing down or having to pay more.
But that’s just his latest vow to dismantle the hard-fought rights internet users have won over the past few years. Bush is also a mass warrantless surveillance fanatic. He not only continually defends the NSA on the campaign trail, but has called for the mammoth spy agency to be handed even more powers. He’s defended the massive phone metadata program that collected Americans’ phone records that is both wildly unpopular with voters and has already been modified by Congress – and to a large extent shuttered – with the passage of the USA Freedom Act. Bush even claimed the expansion of the NSA over the past six or seven years has been the “best part” of the Obama administration.
Perhaps worst of all, Jeb Bush has ignorantly criticized the welcome trend of tech companies like Apple implementing end-to-end encryption in their devices to protect its millions of users from criminals and government spying. Seemingly channeling his brother George W at an event in August, Jeb said, “If you create encryption, it makes it harder for the American government to do its job - while protecting civil liberties - to make sure that evildoers aren’t in our midst.”
Bush apparently doesn’t understand that encryption helps law enforcement more than it hurts, and is vital to billions of internet users all over the globe whether we’re talking about the economy or human rights.
Most importantly, though, strong encryption is a bulwark against cyber attacks, which Bush claims is a “vital” issue. In his lukewarm cybersecurity plan, which really just calls for more power for a variety of government agencies to spy on us all, he does not mention the word “encryption” once.
Too often internet and privacy rights get relegated to the end of the table when election season rolls around. But the issues have never been more mainstream – NSA reform and net neutrality rules, unthinkable eight years ago, are all of a sudden inevitable. And the idea that Jeb Bush wants to take those rights away and saddle the internet with yet more corporate control and government surveillance is disturbing, to say the least.

Netiquette For Kids - How The Internet Is Changing Children's Vocabulary

This blog and my books contain a great deal of information on the changes which communications over the Internet have manifested. Some of these are temporary and others will be far-reaching. Most of us understand that once words make it into a respected dictionary, they have essentially been accepted.

Below is a nice article showing what the children's dictionaries of the Oxford University Press have done. Which other words do you believe will make it into these pages?
============================================================
Natural world words removed from children's dictionary for computer and internet terms
By Gloucestershire Echo  |  Posted: March 01, 2015
 The new edition of the Oxford Junior dictionary has deleted a whole host of words, many of them related to the natural world and the environment to make room for technological terms.
Children will no longer be able to look up the spelling and meaning of words like blackberry, ash, beech, minnow. And also taken out are heraldic words such as coronation, duchess, emperor, duke, monarch and minister.
Replacing them are a whole host of terms from the virtual world of computers and the internet: block-graph, blog, MP3 player, database and attachment. Oh, and celebrity.
According to Vineeta Gupta, who heads children’s dictionaries at Oxford University Press, changes in the world are responsible for changes in the book. “When you look back at older versions of dictionaries, there were lots of examples of flowers for instance,” she said. “That was because many children lived in semi-rural environments and saw the seasons. Nowadays, the environment has changed.”
The 10,000 words and phrases in the junior dictionary were selected using several criteria, including how often words would be used by young children.
Words taken out:
Coronation, duchess, duke, emperor, empire, monarch, decade, carol, cracker, holly, ivy, mistletoe, dwarf, elf, goblin, abbey, aisle, altar, bishop, chapel, christen, disciple, minister, monastery, monk, nun, nunnery, parish, pew, psalm, pulpit, saint, sin, devil, vicar.
Adder, ass, beaver, boar, budgerigar, bullock, cheetah, colt, corgi, cygnet, doe, drake, ferret, gerbil, goldfish, guinea pig, hamster, heron, herring, kingfisher, lark, leopard, lobster, magpie, minnow, mussel, newt, otter, ox, oyster, panther, pelican, piglet, plaice, poodle, porcupine, porpoise, raven, spaniel, starling, stoat, stork, terrapin, thrush, weasel, wren.
Acorn, allotment, almond, apricot, ash, bacon, beech, beetroot, blackberry, blacksmith, bloom, bluebell, bramble, bran, bray, bridle, brook, buttercup, canary, canter, carnation, catkin, cauliflower, chestnut, clover, conker, county, cowslip, crocus, dandelion, diesel, fern, fungus, gooseberry, gorse, hazel, hazelnut, heather, holly, horse chestnut, ivy, lavender, leek, liquorice, manger, marzipan, melon, minnow, mint, nectar, nectarine, oats, pansy, parsnip, pasture, poppy, porridge, poultry, primrose, prune, radish, rhubarb, sheaf, spinach, sycamore, tulip, turnip, vine, violet, walnut, willow
Words put in:
Blog, broadband, MP3 player, voicemail, attachment, database, export, chatroom, bullet point, cut and paste, analogue.
Celebrity, tolerant, vandalism, negotiate, interdependent, creep, citizenship, childhood, conflict, common sense, debate, EU, drought, brainy, boisterous, cautionary tale, bilingual, bungee jumping, committee, compulsory, cope, democratic, allergic, biodegradable, emotion, dyslexic, donate, endangered, Euro.
Apparatus, food chain, incisor, square number, trapezium, alliteration, colloquial, idiom, curriculum, classify, chronological, block graph.

Tabula Rosa Systems Blog Of 9/28/2015 - Pope Francis Hails Tech To Fight Climate Change In 'Our Common Home'


For most of us, the Pope's visit was inspirational. Any of us can think of at least a few of the topics where Francis will effect us for years to come. One of these is climate change and the fact that Shell is pulling out of Arctic drilling has leaves you thinking! I am delighted to post the article below.
Vi benedica santo padre!
 ====================================================
Pope Francis Hails Tech To Fight Climate Change In 'Our Common Home'
The pontiff has a complicated relationship with technology, but he sees its potential in at least one area.

Alexander Howard Senior Editor for Technology and Society, The Huffington Post


Posted: 09/23/2015 07:04 PM EDT | Edited: 09/24/2015 11:10 AM EDT
If Pope Francis' prayers are answered, humanity will devote more of its collective efforts toward cleaning up our planet instead of polluting it. How and where he thinks technological progress should play a role in those efforts is a more complicated question. 
President Barack Obama officially welcomed the pope to Washington, D.C., on Wednesday. At the White House, Francis began his remarks by applauding the United States' history of immigration. He went on to say that climate change was an issue that must be addressed now. 
"Mr. President, I find it encouraging that you are proposing an initiative for reducing air pollution," the pope said, as Obama looked on.
He continued:
Accepting the urgency, it seems clear to me also that climate change is a problem which can no longer be left to a future generation. When it comes to the care of our "common home," we are living at a critical moment of history. We still have time to make the changes needed to bring about “a sustainable and integral development, for we know that things can change” (Laudato Si’, 13). Such change demands on our part a serious and responsible recognition not only of the kind of world we may be leaving to our children, but also to the millions of people living under a system which has overlooked them.
 Video of the pope's full remarks is embedded below.
The pope's recent focus on climate change has not been uncontroversial in the U.S., where the partisan divide over global warming remains as wide as ever, despite the overwhelming scientific consensus on the matter. 
According to the Pew Research Center, 68 percent of Americans believe global warming is occurring, but only 22 percent of Republicans say that it's because of human activity -- something that nearly all of the world's scientists agree to be the case. The hottest summer on record has done little to shift those views, much less galvanize the Republican-controlled Congress to take action. It seems unlikely that the Pope's address to the U.S. legislature on Thursday will alter the trajectory of that debate.  
Based on a generous reading of the encyclical that Francis wrote earlier this year, it seems like he would probably endorse the White House's use of open climate data in the hopes of increasing the resilience of the coastal cities where a majority of humanity will live in future decades, and enabling governors and mayors to protect hundreds of millions of people.
After all, in a June letter to the Catholic Church, the pope laid out a moral case for fighting climate change grounded in the need to protect the poor from pollution and environmental degradation.
In that letter, the pope embraced and supported the development of clean technology, including solar energy, to replace fossil fuels.
But even as he heralded technology as a possible solution, he decried not only the role that industrialization has played in pollution but also a modern mindset that exalts the use of technology to manipulate the natural world.
"It can be said that many problems of today’s world stem from the tendency, at times unconscious, to make the method and aims of science and technology an epistemological paradigm which shapes the lives of individuals and the workings of society," he wrote. 
Given the Catholic Church's history with practitioners of the scientific method, we might be inclined to take that with a grain of salt, but in fairness the church has moved away from being an enemy of science in recent centuries.
Pope Francis himself appears to have something of a love-hate relationship with technology. The 78-year-old pontiff, who holds a degree in chemistry, has supported the application of technology in various areas, including genetic modification in agriculture, and has called the Internet a "gift from God." He's also urged young people not to waste time online or on smartphones, which almost all of us do.
The man often described as the most influential world leader on Twitter uses social media to communicate with the public as @Pontifex, albeit not personally -- he has confessed to being a "disaster with machines" himself.
The pope has also urged families to employ technology thoughtfully, using screen sense as well as common sense when it comes to incorporating devices into our lives.
"By growing daily in our awareness of the vital importance of encountering others, these 'new possibilities,' we will employ technology wisely, rather than letting ourselves be dominated by it," he wrote in January.  
The pope called attention in his climate change encyclical to the limits of taking an explicitly technocratic approach to a complex social, economic and environmental issue.
"Ecological culture cannot be reduced to a series of urgent and partial responses to the immediate problems of pollution, environmental decay and the depletion of natural resources," he wrote. "There needs to be a distinctive way of looking at things, a way of thinking, policies, an educational programme, a lifestyle and a spirituality which together generate resistance to the assault of the technocratic paradigm."
In his encyclical, Pope Francis expressed concern about the effects of technology on our capacity to make decisions and find space for creativity. More subtly, he wrote about the need to use technology in a moral and ethical way, one that makes change possible without abandoning our ideals of "freedom and justice."
But he also acknowledged that in many ways, technology has improved life in ways that would have once seemed impossible.
"We are the beneficiaries of two centuries of enormous waves of change: steam engines, railways, the telegraph, electricity, automobiles, aeroplanes, chemical industries, modern medicine, information technology and, more recently, the digital revolution, robotics, biotechnologies and nanotechnologies," the pope wrote. "It is right to rejoice in these advances and to be excited by the immense possibilities which they continue to open up before us, for 'science and technology are wonderful products of a God-given human creativity.'"
Whether or not you agree with his views on technology -- and not everyone does -- the pope's focus on applying tech for public good, and his habit of calling attention to the ethical questions that disruptive technology can pose to society, are bringing more sunlight to issues that deserve it. 
I think that's a valuable public service, and it's one reason among many that I welcomed Pope Francis to Washington on Wednesday. Here's hoping that his presence brings about more connection, not more controversy.

Tabula Rosa Tech Term Of The Day - Virtual Printer

Virtual printer – from whatis.com
Part of the Content management glossary:
A virtual printer is an application that replicates the software interface for a physical printer and allows the user to carry out various tasks without actually printing anything.
Virtual printers work with print drivers that are coded to send their output to other applications rather than to a physical device. The software can help save resources because it makes it possible to carry out tasks that would formerly have involved actual printing without wasting paper and ink. Such tasks include:
  • Printer testing and correction.
  • Sending documents to a fax server.
  • Creating PDF files from other types of documents.
  • Creating other image files, such as JPEG, GIF and PNG from documents.
  • Viewing documents so that errors and formatting can be fixed before actual printing.
  • Adding special features to a document prior to printing.
