Rapid Fire Speaker Highlights

What I learned from five minutes with Nina Simon and Nolan Bushnell

Nina Simon:

Barriers allow for socialness (technology barriers and otherwise)

Social objects can bring the gap from me to we

It’s about the objects not the environment

Nolan Bushnell:

Encourage prankster-ism

Hire for enthusiasm, creativity and optimism, you can teach anything else

Innovation cycle:  Concept, test, iterate

Learning should be active, learning should be done under extreme time pressure.

You have to be in the moment to learn.  Video games require you to make immediate snap decisions.

Spaced repetition alerts the brain that you should learn this, review it just before you will forget it.
