Future: Fast Forward — a different view on the impact of innovationImage retrieved at ImgurIoT, #blockchain, Machine Learning, #ai. What will really be the impact of all this blazing technological innovation? Instead of what technologies we use and how we deploy them, very human factors such as ethics, knowledge of self and meaning, or purpose, are going to make the biggest difference in the future. For individuals as well as organizations. Proposing a different view on the impact of technology.Soon, Formula 1 racing will no longer take place on wheels but in the air, a few meters above a futuristically illuminated track with the twists and turns of your average roller coaster. Including loopings. And perhaps partially in Virtual Reality.“We have to look at reality with different eyes, in (...)
Drone racing just became a mainstream sport, thanks to ESPN — Quartz

What’s strange about drone racing, however, is that it’s not really like any sport that’s come before it. It’s got the fast-paced racing action of sports like Formula 1 and NASCAR, the DIY, outsidery feel of skateboarding, and the techy, sedentary nature of e-sports (or video game sports). But unlike all of these other sports, or really any sport before it, drone racing is actually best viewed from a distance, after the fact. These drones are small and travel upwards of 60 mph around large, three-dimensional racetracks. It’s hard to watch that live, in person, especially with today’s less-than-perfect technology. Millions of fans are sharing videos online of pilots juking and jiving through abandoned buildings, old power stations, parking lots, empty fields, and watching them on their phones, and laptops. But very few people are showing up to see drones races in real life. Indeed, what we may be witnessing is the birth of the first new sport of the internet age: A sport that isn’t bound by time or collective experience, but instead a sport that is atomized and doled out in digital chunks, like so many Snapchats, Instagrams, Facebook links and tweets before them. A sport for the 21st century.

Un grand prix de Formule 1 à Bakou dès l’année prochaine ?
Holding Formula 1, great success for Baku : Briatore - AzerNews
▻http://www.azernews.az/azerbaijan/67455.html
It was previously assumed that these races would be held in Baku in 2016, but Azerbaijan’s Youth and Sports Ministry reported that Formula One race will be held in Azerbaijan in autumn 2015.
Azerbaijan will become the second country in the former Soviet Union -after Russia- that will host the Formula One Grand Prix.
Et Flavio Briatore donne une description de Bakou (peut-être un poil rewritée…) qui donne envie :
“It’s very close to Europe, the city is amazing - it’s like a little Dubai. And more importantly, everything is new,” added Briatore. “The heart of the town is renovated completely so you have the flavor of the old days and of the oil money. The hotels are amazing, the facilities for your guys is super. It’s very nice.”
Formula 1 fiasco means Valencia’s public TV still leaking money after closure
▻http://elpais.com/elpais/2014/02/03/inenglish/1391429178_004275.html
Although Valencia’s public television and radio stations (RTVV) went off the air over two months ago, their associated costs keep rising, as the regional government is finding out. First there is the fact that the staff of 1,660 keep getting their paychecks and will continue to do so until the RTVV liquidation procedure is completed, representing a monthly cost of around 4.5 million euros.
Then last week, worker representatives disclosed that RTVV has just paid 16 million euros for failing to honor its four-year contract with the broadcast company Mediapro, owner of the Formula 1 rights in Spain. The contract stipulated that RTVV would air the championship in 2012 and 2013. The workers’ committee notes that Valencian deputy premier José Ciscar had described the liquidation of Canal 9, RTVV’s television station, as “a measure that will bring savings to the public coffers.”
Palestine
Film à voir le moment venu, « La route de Silverstone », présenté hier, 5 juin, à Bruxelles, ou le rêve de jeunes réfugiés palestiniens qui, contre vents et marées, construisent une voiture de Formule I et participent à une compétition internationale pour étudiants à Silverstone, au Royaume uni.

The millennium film festival and the united nations relief and works agency for Palestine refugees in the near east (unrwa) have the pleasure to present the film the road to Silverstone
An inspirational tale of determination against adversity, The Road to Silverstone tells the true story of a group of young Palestine refugees who succeeded in building a Formula 1 racing car, the first ever such car built in Gaza, and in bringing it to compete at the International Student competition at Britain’s famous Silverstone track. Capturing the dreams of a group of young men and women and the challenges facing them, the film presents a side of life in Gaza rarely seen by the outside world.
The film will be followed by a discussion with Dr Ghassan Abu-Orf (Dean of the Khan Younis Training Centre in Gaza, who helped the students in their project); Mrs Isabelle Durant (Vice-President of the European Parliament); Mr Hadi Shebli (Deputy Head of Mission of Palestine to the EU) and Mrs Simone Susskind (President of Actions in the Mediterranean- NGO). The debate will be moderated by Mr Gie Goris (Editor in chief of MO* Magazine).
This project is made possible thanks to the support of the European Union
