TED is jam packed with fantastic presentations about this . Yesterday my niece told me about the early evidence and research in progress of how the brain process facts and data from short term memory to medium term memory to long term memory.

It was a real privilege and honour to share the stage with HRH The Royal Princess and other distinguished presenters and experts. The content below is intended to provide links for further reading to support the presentation I delivered yesterday at Excel, London. Part 1: recent changes in technology that opens up new opportunities With the story of Mihir Garimella  and his cheap quadcopter, I highlighted four huge shifts in technology: Smaller cheaper more connected  and smarter (using data and processing power to become more relevant, proactive and our of the way) This change was mostly driven by the growth of mobile phones . As examples, I discussed Google Iris Google Nanoparticle platform  (and especially this ) Google Flu trends (and how you can do this yourself ) and this Jawbone...
