Comment on: Blog Post 'THE DYNAMISM of CHAOS ...': e of every capability of the WEB 2.0 protocol - before we even start considering the use of WEB 3.0 - to simulate real methods of open and disparate discussions, down the pub so to speak, it is doomed to failure from a truly synergetic stand-point. Needless to say the seed that was zaadz has been sown and blossomed in many ways, and although the window of opportunity which WEB 2.0 presented is now almost closed, who knows what the future of the WEB and its potential 10 billion users will bring !!!??? During the early part of my training as a civilian pilot/air traffic controller in the 1960's I was first introduced to the mind-blowing experience of "flying" a de Havilland Trident Simulator. It was mind-blowing for me, as a dyslexic 3D thinker, because my own vision as a child was of a future time when we would be able to personally experience a simulation of the reality such that we would not be able to tell the difference between the simulation and the reality. It had been because of the support from my parents and their parents that I had succeeded in getting into that simulator in the first place, but along the way I had been exposed to all of their diverse spiritual & scientific beliefs despite the fact that they all subscribed to a similar set of values and principles. As a result I was set on my own journey of discovery for the scientific reasoning for mine and others personal experiences of spiritual connectivity. My eventual qualification as a joint civilian/military air traffic controller took me to places I could not have even imagined - to the point where I was being invited by the likes of IBM to present to them personal computer driven multi-media simulations of future 3D global radar scenarios. During the nascency of the world-wide web, discussions with Hewlett Packard, Kodak & Phillips suggested the possibility of establishing a very powerful consumer driven social networking environment, based on discussions about the implications and applications of the still to be ratified WEB 2.0 protocol. As has often been the case, in my experience, existing companies have been slow to react to the invariably small window of opportunity with which they are faced and so it was with HP, Phillips and then Kodak. In the meantime the likes of Friendster and Myspace appeared on the scene without incorporating the really powerful development capabilities which the WEB 2.0 protocol provided for. So it was during 2005 that I became aware of a team of people who were fully WEB 2.0 savvy, led by a man called Brian Johnson, working on a project called ZAADZ. From the day of BETA launch I watched from afar and became mightily impressed by every aspect of the ZAADZ initiative and so it was after some nearly six months I plunged in head-first. In the meantime I continue to cherish what was and try to NOT forget that we are what we are in some small and even significant way, because of our TIME@zaadz. …; Added by Michael Grove at 16:31 on September 10, 2013

Comment on: Blog Post 'Computer Integrated Solutions': f establishing as part and parcel of the planned city-wide installation of Fibre Cable Network, the latest updated version of Canon's Networked Colour, Exemplar Demonstrator, in a Copy Shop which was being built in a disused factory, which when I first arrived, was surrounded by brand-new park benches on which very friendly, under-employed workers sat talking and smoking. When at first the money started flowing into East Germany, the authorities had so much and so little to spend it on in Dresden, that they replaced and expanded massively the number of old 'park-benches' to facilitate the situation. On arrival at the airport, on that first occasion, internally painted wooden tunnels had been erected for the passengers to walk through, from the aircraft to the terminal building, and on exit I was met by a sea of Trabant taxis and their drivers vying for my trade. That first journey, what with the state of the unmaintained roads and the interminable wait at the multitude of traffic light controlled junctions, took 25 minutes or more. The last visit, taking the same route in a Mercedes Benz, took less than 10, despite all the roadworks engaged in the installation of fibre-optic network cables throughout the city. What a contrast to the situation today where it appears that Dresden has risen from the ashes and Dortmund has become the old Dresden !!!??? …; Added by Michael Grove at 7:56 on March 24, 2020
