#What do you think the world will be like a hundred years from now?
#Have you ever studied English using your computer?

==Vocabulary==

==Reading practice==

Read the following transcript then do the associated [[{{FULLPAGENAME}}/ExerciseC1 | reading comprehension exercise]].

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:95%">Transcript:<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
Interviewer: When you hear the word hacking, you generally think of "bad people getting into your computer to steal your identity or do things like that". That's Whitson Gordon, he is the deputy editor of Lifehacker.com.
WG: Well, what the word hacking really means is just finding a clever way to do something, and often that's a clever way to work around an established system.
Interviewer: And you'd be surprised at how many established systems there are in your own life. Like, there is a system for how you get up in the morning, and a system for how you check your email and a system you use for your calendar and on and on and on.
WG: A lot of us are so entrenched in the systems that we're a part of and the way that we work day to day that we don't realize that sometimes there is an easier way to do something.
Interviewer: And so yeah, hacking into someone's bank account, that's really bad, but hacking into your own life, that can be really good. Because the way that we do things, generally sucks.
WG: Life hacking can range from doing something to your wireless router to get better reception, to making your headphones stay better in your ear with a two-dollar pair of ear plugs. It's just little things that make your day-to-day life easier and more efficient.
Interviewer: So how do I go about hacking systems in my own life?
WG: The first thing I would do is go by your work as normal and maybe take a little bit of time at the end of each day, just ten minutes to think about what you did that day. You know, this point in my day was really inefficient, how can I maybe do that better? Do that every day and you'll start to see where maybe the inefficiencies are in your work, you know, maybe you spend way too much time trying to wade through emails, you spend way too much time typing out certain things.
Interviewer: From there I just have to be really creative and think outside the box. Is there any tricks that you have at that point?
WG: Yeah, if you say to yourself "God, I'm spending so much time typing out this, this tedious stuff all day long." You go on to Google, you search for "how to save yourself time typing". And you'll find not just a lot of solutions from people, but a lot of actual programs for computers that people have written to deal with that specific problem.
Interviewer: What would be the purpose behind caring about lifehacks?
WG: You know most of us are wasting, just wasting ‘x’ percent of our time on tedious tasks or wasting ‘x’ percent of our money on things that we could easily make ourselves and by dedicating part of your day to reorganizing your thoughts and rehacking some of these little things that you do every day, you can save a ton of time, you know, be more productive, have more time to spend on the things that are really more important.
</div>
</div>

==Writing practice==

Write a couple of paragraphs sharing a few of your life hacks. If you can't think of any that you already use, think about ones you could implement. Make sure to use words you learned from the text and try to make it as long as you can.

==Much, many, a lot of==

Hoje vamos aprender a usar as palavras '''much''', '''many''' e '''a lot of'''.

Para saber aplicar estas palavras corretamente, precisamos sabes dizer se uma palavra é um substantivo contável ou não. Se precisar de uma revisão assista ao vídeo da lição #2.
<br>
Traduzindo para o português temos:

{| class="prettytable"
| '''much''' || muito || usado com substantivos não contáveis.
|-
| '''many''' || muitos || usado com substantivos contáveis.
|-
| '''a lot of''' || muito, muitos || usado com substantivos contáveis e não contáveis.
|}
<br>
Exemplos:
{| class="prettytable"
|
*I have many friends.
*She doesn't have much time.
*He has a lot of friends.
*They have a lot of time.
|}
<br>
Friends é um substantivo contável.
Time é um substantivo não contável.

Uma dica útil é que a palavra many vem sempre com substantivos no plural, enquanto o much com substantivos no singular. Friends está no plural, enquanto time está no singular.

Algumas palavras nestes exercícios serão novas para você. Descubra o significado utilizando o dicionário.

==Much, many, a lot of==

Hoje vamos aprender a usar as palavras '''much''', '''many''' e '''a lot of'''.

Para saber aplicar estas palavras corretamente, precisamos sabes dizer se uma palavra é um substantivo contável ou não. Se precisar de uma revisão assista ao vídeo da lição #2.
<br>
Traduzindo para o português temos:

{| class="prettytable"
| '''much''' || muito || usado com substantivos não contáveis.
|-
| '''many''' || muitos || usado com substantivos contáveis.
|-
| '''a lot of''' || muito, muitos || usado com substantivos contáveis e não contáveis.
|}
<br>
Exemplos:
{| class="prettytable"
|
*I have many friends.
*She doesn't have much time.
*He has a lot of friends.
*They have a lot of time.
|}
<br>
Friends é um substantivo contável.
Time é um substantivo não contável.

Uma dica útil é que a palavra many vem sempre com substantivos no plural, enquanto o much com substantivos no singular. Friends está no plural, enquanto time está no singular.

Political season is at its height right now and we're all glad to be Americans because we live in a democracy. Wait, is this really a democracy?
BS: America is not a democracy.
<br>- You see I was talking with this guy.
<br>BS: My name is Ben Swann.
<br>- He does a lot of journalism about our political system.
<br>BS: and I am a reporter and anchor of WXIX TV in Cincinnati. I am also the host and producer of Reality Check.
<br>- and I was trying to figure out what he meant, so we started talking about ancient Greece.
<br>BS: Ancient Greece was a democracy, the people had the ultimate say. So, for instance, in the case of the health care law, instead of having law makers who would draft a bill, and vote on the bill, and then let the people know what the decision was, they would write a bill, a health care bill, and then all the people would go to the polls and the people would vote and if the majority of the people said "we like the health care law", it would become law. And if the majority of people said "we don’t like it", then it wouldn't become law. Everything would be based upon majority rules. But when the founders created our constitution and our bill of rights they established a form of government and they actually determined that a democracy was the worst form of government.
<br>- Ah, the worst form of government?
<br>BS: Many of the founders said that democracy was nothing more than mob rule and so they were against democracy and instead felt the correct form of government for this free nation was a republic.
<br>- Ah yes a republic! ...to the republic for which it stands... So, what's a republic?
<br>BS: Well a republic is a form of government, let me start that again, a republic is a form of government where the people will go to the polls to elect men and women who represent them, and then those elected leaders create and vote on laws. The people don't vote directly on laws that affect their life, rather it's lawmakers who are chosen among the people. And these are supposed to be the best, the smartest, the most ethical, the most moral, the most upright men and women in the society who represent the majority of society. And that's the form of government we have in the United States. The other thing that is important to understand as the distinction between democracy and a republic is that a democracy is the rule of man. Man ruling over each other, which our founders believe turns into mob rule. A republic is the rule of law, laws are formed and created as a bill of rights or a constitution and then those laws are never superseded by mob rules or superseded by elected officials. They are all under law. So republic is actually the rule of law.
<br>- You heard it here, we are ruled by law in a republic. Let's go elect some officials then. Ben, thanks for talking.
<br>BS: It was a pleasure.

When you hear the word hacking you generally think of bad people getting into your computer to steal your identity or do things like that. That’s Whitson Gordon, he is the deputy editor of Lifehacker.com. Well, what the word hacking really means is just finding a clever way to do something, and often that’s a clever way to work around an established system. And you’d be surprised that how many established systems there are in your own life. Like, there is a system for how you get up in the morning, and a system for how you check your email and a system you use for your calendar and on and on and on. A lot of us are so entrenched in the systems that we're part of and the way that we work day to day but we don’t realize that sometimes there is an easier way to do something. And so yeah, hacking into someone’s bank account, that’s really bad, but hacking into your own life, that can be really good. Because the way that we do things generally sucks. Life hacking can range from doing something to your wireless router to get better reception, to making your headphones stay better in your ear with a two-dollar pair of ear plugs. It’s just little things that make your day-to-day life easier and more efficient.
So how do I go about hacking systems in my own life?
The first thing I would do is go by your work as normal and maybe take a little bit of time at the end of each day, just ten minutes to think about what you did that day. You know this point of my day was really inefficient, how can I maybe do that better? Do that every day and you’ll start to see where maybe the inefficiencies are in your work, you know, maybe you spend way too much time trying to wade through emails, you spend way too much time typing out certain things.
From there I just have to be really creative and think outside the box. Is there any tricks that you have at that point?
Yeah, if you say to yourself "God, I'm spending so much time typing out this, this tedious stuff all day long." You go on to Google and you search how to save yourself time typing. And you’ll find not just a lot of solutions from people, but a lot of actual programs for computers that people have written to deal with that specific problem.
What would be the purpose behind caring about Lifehacks?
You know most of us are wasting, just wasting ‘x’ percent of our time on tedious tasks or wasting ‘x’ percent of our money on things that we could easily make ourselves and by dedicating part of your day to reorganizing your thoughts and rehacking some of these little things you do every day, you can save a ton of time, you know, be more productive, have more time to spend on the things that are really more important.

When you hear the word hacking you generally think of bad people getting into your computer to steal your identity or do things like that. That’s Whitson Gordon, he is the deputy editor of Lifehacker.com.

It’s payday! Put that check in the bank and get ready to PARTY! Now you can finally pay some overdue bills, buy that gear you’ve been eyeing, and stock the refrigerator. That is until the end of the month when the next payday is still days away. More bills are piling up, the refrigerator is empty, checks are bouncing, and you don’t have money in the bank to put gas in the car. Living paycheck to paycheck is tough. But there is a system that will make sure you always have the cash you need. It’s called the envelope system. Instead of depositing that check into your bank account, cash that check and bring it home. Make envelopes for every budget item you have, like gas, food, rent and so on. Then put the appropriate amount of cash in each envelope. When you wanna buy something, only use cash from the correct envelope. This makes it so you won’t overspend in any one category, and you’ll always have money for things you need.

Emails are easier to write than they are to respond to. You can write an email in seconds, link to an article or video with a simple copy and a paste and send. Now that poor person you wrote to has to scan his cluttered inbox, open your email, read it, decide how to respond, then respond. Emails often have open-ended questions that are hard to answer, and people often get "Cc"ed on emails they don’t care about. This is all spiraling out of control and destroying your productivity. So we ask, do you wanna be part of the problem or part of the solution? Here are things you can start doing today, to make your emails better for everyone. Choose good subject lines that clearly give the topic of your email and maybe even tag with an action category. Write short emails, keep it to five sentences or less if you can, and make sure the reason for the email is clear at the top. No weird fonts or colors please. Don’t give open-ended questions, but very specific-action options. Slash unnecessary “Ccs” and when forwarding emails, tighten up threads by deleting unimportant things. Oh, and stop replying just to say thanks. It might feel rude at first, but it’s one less email to worry about reading. So unless you enjoy punishing people, join the emailcharter.

We recently spoke with J. Stanton about what we eat. Now we wanna talk to him about how we eat and how that affects us. So J., we´ve all heard you should eat a bunch of small meals throughout the day to lose weight, but is there any trick to that? J.S.: Absolutely not, you don’t lose weight by eating, you lose weight by not eating. By analogy, you can look at how animals eat, predators which are uniformly lean and muscular, they´ll gorge on their kill and then fast for extended periods of time, sometimes only eating once every day or every few days. The other extreme, prey animals like cattle, graze constantly and they get very, very fat doing that. So by now..., the humans, not that we should eat once every three days but it is better to eat like a predator than like prey. So is it more about how often we eat or how much? J.S.: in my experience and I think in most people´s experience it´s much easier to limit the number of times you eat than to try and limit the quantity you eat when you do eat. Huh, well I know for me if I don’t eat something every couple of hours I tend to get pretty "hangry". J.S.: I used to be the guy you had to feed every three hours or he'd turn into an ogre. Oh, got to feed J. again, he is getting grumpy. So you´re saying about eventually getting used to eating less often and if that´s the case, what is the biggest difference we´ll notice going from grazing like prey to eating like predator? J.S.: The most important change is that food doesn’t run your life, once you don’t have to keep stuffing yourself with little snacks every couple of hours, you´ll realize how much more time you have to devote to fixing yourself real food. Really interesting stuff here. Again, thanks to J. Stanton for his "inside into how and what we eat" and be sure to check out this website...

We recently spoke with J. Stanton about what we eat. Now we wanna talk to him about how we eat and how that affects us. So J., we´ve all heard we should eat a bunch of small meals throughout the day to lose weight, but is there any trick to that? J.S.: Absolutely not, you don’t lose weight by eating, you lose weight by not eating. By analogy, you can look at how animals eat, predators which are uniformly lean and muscular. They´ll gorge on their kill and then fast for extended periods of time, sometimes only eating once every day or every few days. The other extreme prey animals, like cattle, graze constantly and they get very, very fat doing that. So by now, see, the humans, not that we should eat once every three days but it is better to eat like a predator than like prey. So is it more about how often we eat or how much? J.S.: in my experience and I think in most people´s experience it´s much easier to limit the number of times you eat than to try and limit the quantity you eat when you do eat. Huh, well I know for me if I don’t eat something every couple of hours I tend to get pretty "hangry". J.S.: I used to be the guy you had to feed every three hours or he'd turn into an ogre. Oh, got to feed J. again, he is getting grumpy.

All the things that you need to get done are stored all over. In your email inbox, on random pieces of paper or in your brain. You often forget to do things. You get overwhelmed by big tasks and overall your mind feels clutter. If you want to be a ninja at getting things done, you need a system. Here are some tips: first collect everything you have to do in one place, this is a big brain dump where you can write down any task that comes to mind. Whenever you think of something you have to do, don’t store it in your prefrontal cortex, write it down. We call this your inbox. Next, put things from your inbox into a place you know you’ll look at, at the right time. This might be your calendar, a shopping list or in a project's folder. Speaking of projects, if a task can’t be done without a series of steps, then you need to turn that task into a project by brainstorming every individual step required to complete that project. Start practicing these simple things and you’ll find your mind is clear and you’re knocking out tasks one at a time.

Since the dawn of humanity, we have used tools to communicate. Overtime, these tools have become more complex. Like in 2700 B.C., when the Egyptians started using pictures to represent sounds. This later came to be known as the alphabet. Every time a new discovery is made, it changes the way that we live. But there is always some people who struggle to adapt. Like when radios - “look here is the new band aid plastic strip with new super-stick” - were replaced by television - “look here is the new band aid plastic strip with new super-stick”. At first, we didn’t realize TV’s potential. But one day it dawned on us: TV is a new kind of communication. One driven by images. And the use of images changed everything. Then along came this thing called the internet. At first, it was just email and banner ads. But then it evolved into something much bigger. Just think about it: We used to come home to watch TV, but now we watch TV on the internet. And not just that: We search on the internet, we read blogs on the internet, we upload pictures to the internet, we update our status on the internet, we share our lives and our experiences on the internet with the world. We’re not on the internet as passive observers, we are on the internet to have a shared experience. So why do we keep using outdated tools designed for TV to reach an interactive audience on the internet? If history has taught us anything, it's new technology demands a new way to communicate. What could this look like? Well, let’s say you have a brilliant idea and, instead of creating an image-based video designed for TV, you create a video designed for this new technology. A video that creates a shared experience, a video that educates and enlightens. And this part is key. You see, you can put your video online and few people will find it. But let’s say your video helps someone discover something important. Let’s say your video helps someone see something differently. Why is this significant? Well, let’s take a look. When something like a video helps us think differently, we change. Sometimes in small ways, like deciding to use a new web application - sometimes in big ways, like discovering a new cause that gives us purpose in our lives. But every time this switch happens, we feel compelled to pass this experience on to others. And the internet is designed to share experiences. And as it gets shared, it helps other people create epiphanies who in turn share it who, in turn, have epiphanies. We’ll learn that this new way to communicate taps into these shared epiphanies. There is an emerging style of video made to be viral. It helps you discover new things, it creates an experience and a paradigm shift together. In a word, it creates an epiphany. Epiphany. People seek out, remember, share new epiphanies. So why not create a video that has an epiphany that can be shared for what we call an epipheo. Epipheo. So you can keep trying to use yesterday’s methods or you can use a tool built for the internet. A tool designed to be discovered and shared. What’s the untold epiphany that inspires your project? Because epipheos, just like the one you’re watching right now, brings your message to life each time it unlocks a new mind.

You’re amazing at your job. And so one day you had an epiphany. Why am I working for some other dude that I don’t even like that much when I can start my own business. Congratulations you’re an entrepreneur. Wait, hold it right there muchacho. Starting a business doesn’t actually make you an entrepreneur. And like many so called entrepreneurs, you’ll soon find yourself working fifteen hour days, will be hiring the wrong people and getting frustrated trying to manage them. And you won’t know how to fix the systems that make a great business grow. Suddenly you realize you didn’t create a business, you really just created yourself a new job and this new job kind of sucks. Here is the problem, the first thing you should’ve asked yourself is: am I actually an entrepreneur? Because, not everyone is. Yes see, people generally fall into one of three buckets: technicians, people who are good at doing the work; managers, people who are good at managing the systems people work in; and entrepreneurs, people who love building new opportunities out of, well, nothing. Now most people fall into the first two categories, right? Like, take Mike for example. The reason Mike wanted his own shop was because he was a great cupcake baker. But then he found out a very hard lesson. When a technician tries to be a manager or an entrepreneur, it just doesn’t work. So if you want to start a business, first decide what kind of person are you, then find partners who can help you in the other areas.

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:95%">Transcript:<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
Since the dawn of humanity we have used tools to communicate. Overtime these tools are becoming more complex, like in 2700 B.C. when the Egyptians started using pictures to represent sounds. This later came to be known as the alphabet. Every time a new discovery is made it changes the way that we live but there is always some people who struggle to adapt. Like when radios, “look here is the new band aid plastic strip with new super-stick” were replaced by television, “look here is the new band aid plastic strip with new super-stick”. At first we didn’t realize TV’s potential but one day it dawned on us. TV is a new kind of communication one driven by images and the use of images changed everything. Then along came this thing called the internet, at first was just email and banner adds, but then it developed to something much bigger. Just think about it. We use to come home to watch TV, but now we watch TV on the internet. And not just that we search on the internet, we read blogs on the internet, we upload pictures to the internet, we update our status on the internet, we share our lives and experiences on the internet with the world. We’re not on the internet as passive observers, we are on the internet to have a shared experience. So why do we keep using outdated tools designed for TV to reach interactive audience on the internet? If history has taught us anything this new technology demands a new way to communicate. What could this look like? Well let’s say you have a brilliant idea and instead of creating an image based video designed for TV, you create a video designed for this new technology. A video that creates a shared experience, a video that educates and enlightens. And this part is key. You see, you can put your video online and few people will find it. But let’s say your video helps someone discovers something important. Let’s say your video helps someone sees something differently. Why is this significant? Well, let’s take a look. When something like a video helps us think differently, we change. Sometimes in small ways like deciding to use a new web application. Sometimes in big ways, like discovering a new cause that gives us purpose in our lives. But every time this switch happens we feel compelled to pass this experience on to others. And the internet is designed to share experiences * to get shared it helps other people create epiphanies who * share it who * epiphanies. We’ll learn that this new way to communicate taps in to be shared epiphanies. There is an emerging style of video made to be viral, it helps you to discover new things, it creates an experience and a paradigm shift together, in a word it creates an epiphany. Epiphany. People seek out, remember, share new epiphanies. So why not create a video that has an epiphany that can be shared for what we call epipheo. Epipheo. So you can keep trying to use yesterday’s methods or you can use a tool built for the internet, a tool designed to be discovered and shared. What’s the untold epiphany that inspires your project? Because epipheos, just like the one you’re watching right now, brings your message to life each time in a lost new mind.

This is the story of Casinos and how they work.
The story begins with a bunch of people. And these aren’t just any other people. They’re people with money. And these people get a great idea. They decide to put all of their money in a pile. Now this pile is what we usually refer to as a Casino. Some people also call it a lottery. Now, at the Casino, these people play games, not only bet. They get to push buttons on machines that have lights and sounds. Sometimes the people even win the game and the machine makes really loud sounds. When this happens, it means that these people get to keep some of the money from the pile. As you can imagine, this makes those people very happy. Everyone sees those people that are happy and they realize that putting the money in a big pile was really a great idea, they want some money too. But the Casino has a charge for making some of the people really happy. After all, nothing is free and the charge is the rest of the money. Which makes the Casino very happy, ando leaves no money for everyone else. But there is hope, because maybe someday they’ll be the one pushing the button that makes the bright lights, loud sounds and they’ll get some of the money out of the pile. But probably not. Unfortunately this is the end of the story.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
<br>
:'''Interviewer''': We're here with Doctor Neil deGrasse Tyson, Astrophysicist at Manhattan's American Museum of Natural History, and host of PBS's NOVA ScienceNOW for TIME's 10 Questions.

:'''Interviewer''': Neil, thanks for being with us today.

:'''Tyson''': I'm ready for ya.

:'''Interview''': What should be done about the fact that our kids lag woefully far behind children in other countries in the areas of physics and mathematics?

:'''Tyson''': You know [what] my first reply is, as a parent? Get out of their way. When you're a kid, you're born a scientist. What does a scientist do? We look up and say "I wonder what that is. Let me go find out. Let me poke it. Let me break it. Let me turn it around. This is what kids do. You can't let a kid alone for a minute without them laying waste to your house. Ok? Because they're grabbing stuff off the shelves. So what do we do? We prevent that. We prevent these depths of curiosity from revealing themselves even within our own residences. And so, I swore that when I had kids, and I do have kids, I got an eleven-year-old and a seven; but when they were young, and still today, if they see something they want to experiment with, even if they might break it, I just let it go. Let the experiment run its course. Because therein are the souls - is the soul of curiosity that leads to the kind of mind you would want as a scientist.

:'''Interviewer''': So you talk about events that can cause the end of the world. Does this knowledge keep you awake at night?

:'''Tyson''': Yes! Yes...It might keep me awake in a different way than others. There are many people who when faced with disaster, impending disaster, they say to themselves "Ok. Let me buy emergency food. Let me find a shelter to go to. Let me alert the autho... Let me..." Ok. When you're trained as a scientist or an engineer, that's not the first thing you think of. The first thing you think of is "How can I prevent the disaster?"

:'''Interviewer''': Right.

:'''Tyson''': Here comes the asteroid, you’re gonna, like, run away from it? Or are you gonna say “how can I figure out how to deflect it? That’s why you want scientists and engineers in your midsts. Otherwise, you’re just running away from every possible disaster that could affect life on earth. What kind of life is that?

:'''Interviewer''': What is the most astounding fact you can share with us about the universe?

:'''Tyson''': The most astounding fact is the knowledge that the atoms that comprise life on earth, the atoms that make up the human body are traceable to the crucibles that cooked light elements into heavy elements in their core under extreme temperatures and pressures. These stars, the high mass ones among them, when unstable in their later years, they collapsed and then exploded scattering their enriched guts across the galaxy. Guts made of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and all the fundamental ingredients of life itself. These ingredients become part of gas clouds that condense, collapse, form the next generation of solar systems: stars with orbiting planets, and those planets now have the ingredients for life itself. So that when I look up at the night sky and I know that, yes, we are part of this universe, we are in this universe, but, perhaps, more important than both of those facts is that the universe is in us. When I reflect on that fact I look up -- many people feel small, because they’re small and the universe is big, but I feel big, because my atoms came from those stars.

:'''Interviewer''': If you could meet and talk with any scientist who’s ever lived, who would it be and why?

:'''Tyson''': Isaac Newton. Isaac Newton! No question about it. Isaac Newton. The smartest person ever, ever to walk the face of this earth. You read his writings; the man was connected to the universe, in spooky ways. The most successful scientists in the history of the world are those who pose the right questions. If I asked you “at what temperature does the number seven melt? What’s the square root of a pork chop?” These are meaningless questions, maybe philosophers will run with them, but scientific -- they’re scientifically meaningless. Abandon them - go on to the next problem. Newton, his questions, reached into the soul of the universe and he pulled out insights and wisdom that transformed our understanding of our place in the cosmos. Somebody said “Isaac why is it that Planets orbit in the shape you call ellipses rather than circles, why that shape?” and he says “you know, I’ll get back to you on that, I’ll get back to you.” [He] goes away for a few months [and] come[s] back “here is the answer, here is the answer, here is why gravity produces ellipses for orbits.” The guy says, “how did you finally figure that out?” “Well, I had to invent this new kind of mathematics to do it.” He invented calculus! Most of us sweat through it for multiple years in school just to learn it. He invented it practically on a dare. He discovered the laws of motion, the laws of gravity, the laws of optics, then he turned 26. Ok?

:'''Interviewer''': I’m with you.

:'''Tyson''': And I own everything he’s ever written. Most of which is written in his day. I commune through time as I read Isaac Newton, transporting me into a time and a place where people were just figuring out how this universe worked. And for me that’s thrilling and humbling.

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:95%">Transcript:<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
If you got yourself the new Iphone, then you fell in love with the SIRI. Because she's helping you do stuff, like make phone calls. You can joke around with her, you're flirting with her, and she is pretty helpful.<br>
SIRI is unique, and the reason for this is SIRI isn't just voice recognition, SIRI can actually understand language, she knows how language is modeled, and she can apply logic. And this makes her feel far more intelligent and human than anything else. Now, we know from things like ATM's that when machines are as reliable as humans, we'd rather use machines. People are using SIRI way more than Apple anticipated. And SIRI is learning everyday, which is making her smarter and smarter.<br>
So, if Apple opens SIRI to third party developers, there is gonna be a flood of new voice enabled applications. SIRI will help you buy things, make your travel plans, make phone calls for you, she will learn your preferences. SIRI is really gonna become a personal assistant, the beginning of actual artificial intelligence. And this is a big deal. Eric Schmidt, from Google, claimed to the Senate Subcommittee on Competition Policy, that the biggest threat to Google is SIRI, because one day you might stop using Google completely and ask her instead. So, keep an eye on SIRI. She is gonna turn some heads.

If you got yourself the new Iphone, then you fell in love with the SIRI. Because she's helping you do stuff, like make phone calls. You can joke around with her, you're flirting with her and she is pretty helpful.<br>
SIRI is unique and the reason for this is SIRI isn't just voice recognition, SIRI can actually understand language, she knows how language is modeled and she can apply logic. And this makes her feel far more intelligent and human than anything else. Now, we know from things like ATM's that when machines are as reliable as humans we'd rather use machines. People are using SIRI way more than Apple anticipated. And SIRI is learning everyday which is making her smarter and smarter.<br>
So, if Apple opens SIRI to third party developers there is gonna be a flood of new voice enabled applications. SIRI will help you buy things, make your travel plans, make phone calls for you, she will learn your preferences. SIRI is really gonna become a personal assistant the beginning of actual artificial intelligence. And this is a big deal. Eric Schmidt, from Google, claimed to the Senate Subcommittee on Competition Policy the biggest threat to Google is SIRI, because one day you might stop using Google completely and ask her instead. So, keep an eye on SIRI. She is gonna turn some heads.

So, you are relatively poor. Well, other people seem to be incredibly rich. But, getting rich seems like a mysteriously complicated feat, right? Maybe win the lottery someday, become a movie star or maybe end up in the right place at the right time and get that once in a lifetime opportunity. Otherwise, you're just good at being poor.

Hey, here is the thing, becoming rich is very similar to becoming poor. See, the way you get poor is like this: you work hard and buy things that take money out of your pocket. These are what richy-pants financial people call liabilities - and if you keep acquiring these liabilities, eventually, you will be poor. Guaranteed. Now, becoming rich is pretty similar, you still work hard, you still buy things, except, you buy things that put money in your pocket. Things like real estate, businesses, stock, things called assets and assets generate money for you, even when you're not working, which grows exponentially with the more assets you buy. And if you keep buying these assets, soon, you will be rich.

You've worked hard all week; meetings, presentations, emails - more emails. And it's finally the weekend.

Here's the trouble. We spend all week learning how to be productive. So, it's hard to break the seal when Friday comes. You can try to avoid work, but you're still in work mode.

See, the key to having a real break during the weekend is to do things that are not productive. So while turning off the phone is good, creating something with your bare hands is better. And while turning off the email may be helpful, taking your family on a hiking trip to a state park will actually help you disconnect.

So do something this weekend that makes you focus on being unproductive and it might just feel like a weekend again.

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:95%">Transcript:<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
Narrator: I sat down again with Daniel H. Wilson, the best selling author of Robot Apocalypse. And he has a new book out called “Amped” and, instead of being about homicidal robots, Daniel describes a near future where we create new technology that makes us superhuman.
<br><br>
Daniel: Human beings make technology. It's what we do. A cheetah runs fast. Human beings make tools. And for the vast majority of human history, our tools have been things that we hold in our hands. But, I think that we're gonna have a point in the near future at which our tools are gonna come inside of our bodies.
<br><br>
Narrator: Ok, so we do this already for all sorts of things and we're still basically human. But what happens when we put technology in our brains, like we do for epilepsy? For instance, with epilepsy the neural implant is listening for the sound of a seizure. That's when your neurons just start firing like crazy. So, it's pretty easy to detect, relative to, for instance, figuring out when someone is thinking about oranges. When it senses that the seizure is happening, it can stimulate the brain pathways to prevent the seizure.
<br><br>
Narrator: So Daniel thinks we're gonna take these to next level, with what he calls the neural auto focus.
<br><br>
Daniel: It sits in the brain and it looks for the state of inattention, someone who is being distracted, and then, in response, it stimulates the neurons to push them toward a beta one wave state, which is focused attention. When you have one of these things in your brain, you're an amplified human. Which means you have a special ability to focus. Which makes you learn things faster. Or, you could use it to focus on physical activities. There is a certain pattern of movement that happens again, and again, and again, and again while you're trying to learn how to do some fine motor activity like that. It's gonna pick up on that very quickly and then it's going to specifically stimulate the neurons that are associated with that activity so that you - your actual brain is changing faster.
<br><br>
Narrator: So, I guess one day I'm gonna have to decide whether or not I'm going to get one, right?
<br><br>
Daniel: First, it would be people who have serious problems, but once we notice that the people who used to be disabled are now superabled, regular people are gonna get interested pretty quickly in order to do their jobs faster, to be more competitive, to be better at sports.
<br><br>
Narrator: Is this something you would elect to do?
<br><br>
Daniel: How insane is it, that I've never even thought of that?
<br><br>
Narator: It's pretty crazy.
<br><br>
Daniel: Oh man, you know what, people aren't gonna do this unless they see some huge potential benefit. Because let's face it, you're kind of messing with your brain, right? And that's scary. And nobody is gonna, nobody is down for surgery for no reason, right? You know, I would not do it unless I saw some huge perceived benefit. Or, what if I'm the last one left who hasn't done it and I'm just dumb compared to everyone else? But, let's not focus on individuals, what if everybody in China gets issued one of these things? What if a certain religion decides that this is hum, you know, heretical or something. What if it's not up to you to make the decision, what if you're a kid and it's up to your parents to determine whether you need this as a treatment for some sort of problem, real or perceived. Do professional sports teams let amps play, or is that cheating? You know there's a lot to think about.
<br> <br>
Narator: Well, I guess I should remind you, if you're freaking out right now, that this hasn't happened, yet. But in the mean time, you can read all about it in this new sci-fi novel called Amped, which is available now. Thanks for chatting.
<br><br>
Daniel: Thank you.

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:95%">Transcript:<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
- You know that feeling when you really want to accomplish something but it seems like your brain is almost fighting against you.
KM: We actually have something more like two minds.
- That’s Kelly McGonigal author of the Willpower Instinct
KM: Ah, we have one brain that is very responsive to our immediate needs and when we’re in that mindset we tend to make choices that are inconsistent with our long-term goals. But we also all have this other brain, this other mindset that thinks about long-term consequences, remembers what our big values are, takes a kind of expansive view on our lives and our choices. And when we’re in that mindset and that system of the brain is in control of our choices, we tend to do things that make our future self actually happier and healthier, more productive, more successful.
- So Kelly says that while many of us think of willpower as the ability to say no to that short-term part of our brain, it can actually be much more effective to tap into the different types of willpower that help us unleash the long term part of our brain.
KM: Many people think of willpower is the ability to resist temptation. But willpower is actually three powers: I will power, I won’t power and I want power. I won’t power is what we typically think of as willpower, it is the ability to resist temptation. I will power, that’s the ability to remember that you want the consequences of doing this difficult thing, and the third power I want power the ability to walk around the world with a clear memory of what it is you care about most. So that when you’re deciding what to eat for lunch, it’s not an automatic choice but actually in that moment you think about your desire for health. And, actually, what willpower does is it allows you to put your energy and attention on exactly what it is you want and what you care about.
- So if you want to change automatic behavior prompted by that short-term part of our brain, we can’t just rely on I won’t willpower which will eventually wear down. We also have to tap into I will willpower like whenever I’m tempted to eat a piece of chocolate cake I will eat a handful of carrots instead or I want willpower, like when I’m tempted to smoke I'll remind myself that I really want to be alive to see my grandchildren. By doing this we're tapping into new sources of will power and will make changing those behaviors that much easier.

- You know that feeling when you really want to accomplish something but it seems like your brain is almost fighting against you.
KM: We actually have something more like two minds.
- That’s Kelly McGonigal author of the Willpower Instinct
KM: Ah, we have one brain that is very responsive to our immediate needs and when we’re in that mindset we tend to make choices that are inconsistent with our long-term goals. But we also all have this other brain, this other mindset that thinks about long-term consequences, remembers what our big values are, takes a kind of expansive view on our lives and our choices. And when we’re in that mindset and that system of the brain is in control of our choices, we tend to do things that make our future self actually happier and healthier, more productive, more successful.
- So Kelly says that while many of us think of willpower as the ability to say no to that short-term part of our brain, it can actually be much more effective to tap into the different types of willpower that help us unleash the long term part of our brain.
KM: Many people think of willpower is the ability to resist temptation. But willpower is actually three powers: I will power, I won’t power and I want power. I won’t power is what we typically think of as willpower, it is the ability to resist temptation. I will power, that’s the ability to remember that you want the consequences of doing this difficult thing, and the third power I want power the ability to walk around the world with a clear memory of what it is you care about most. So that when you’re deciding what to eat for lunch, it’s not an automatic choice but actually in that moment you think about your desire for health. And, actually, what willpower does is it allows you to put your energy and attention on exactly what it is you want and what you care about.
- So if you want to change automatic behavior prompted by that short-term part of our brain, we can’t just rely on I won’t willpower which will eventually wear down. We also have to tap into I will willpower like whenever I’m tempted to eat a piece of chocolate cake I will eat a handful of carrots instead or I want willpower, like when I’m tempted to smoke I'll remind myself that I really want to be alive to see my grandchildren. By doing this we're tapping into new sources of will power and will make changing those behaviors that much easier.

All the things that you need to get done are stored all over. In your email inbox, on random pieces of paper or in your brain. You often forget to do things. You get overwhelmed by big tasks and overall your mind feels clutter. If you want to be a Ninja at getting things done, you need a system. Here are some tips: first collect everything you have to do in one place, this is a big brain dump where you can write down any task that comes to mind. Whenever you think of something you have to do, don’t store in your prefrontal cortex, write it down. We call this your inbox. Next, put things from your inbox into a place you know you’ll look at, at the right time. This might be your calendar, a shopping list or in a *promp folder. Speaking of projects, if a task can’t be done without a series of steps, then you need to turn that task into a project. *For a brainstorming every individual step required to complete that project, start practicing these simple things and you’ll find your mind is clear and you’re knocking out tasks one at a time.
