Dead Technology Advetisements, wow
March 6th, 2009
These are really great. I remember when some of them came out, oh, the excitement. 
12 “Dead Technology” Advertisements
It is interesting to look back at the various ways that technology has been advertised to consumers over the past several decades. It is particularly interesting to look back at these advertisements when the featured products have been made obsolete. From the BetaMax to the HD DVD the following are a list of the ads from technology that are either in dead or dying format, or those which are no longer in production.
Dial Up Internet
sourcePerhaps the most important technological innovation since the television was the consumer availability of the internet and its subsequent online community. Most people remember what it was like to access the internet back in the early 1990s: you were required to dial up, hope that a connection would be established, and then log onto a network that moved at a snail’s pace. In short, it was slow computers and even slower connections. But, it was impressive at the time nonetheless.

14 Wild Ideas
February 25th, 2009
Have a wild Idea? Here are sine more:
A wild idea is one that many people think is obviously quite unlikely. I’d say at least a third of these wild ideas are likely true. (Parenthetic links are to more of my writings.)
- Many times each day, your mind permanently splits into different versions that live in different worlds.
The startling prediction of the “many worlds” interpretation of quantum mechanics is that when systems like your mind interact with small quantum systems, every possible quantum outcome actually happens in a different “world.” Quantum mechanics is our most basic theory of physics, and surveys of prominent physicists reportedly find majorities favoring this interpretation. (More here.)
- If medicine were taxed so much that people only bought half as much, they would be just as healthy.
In the 1970s, the RAND Health Insurance Experiment randomly assigned 5000 adults to free or full-price health care over 3-5 years. Free care folks got more eyeglasses and teeth filled, and spent ~30% more, but were otherwise no healthier. This result is consistent with typical time-series and cross-sectional analyses. I’m willing to extrapolate from this 30% change to a 50% cut. (More here.)
- If we keep writing down common sense datums until 2100, we can make computers as smart as people.
We learn more about brains and making smart computers, but we seem to have run out of major architectural innovations — better ones won’t make a huge difference. The big stumbling block seems to be how much “common sense” a system knows, like that things tend to fall down when you bump them. One group has been writing these down for fifteen years with moderate success; a century more effort may be plenty.
