TWO NEW TALK SHOWS

It was a big day for new ThinkTech Talk Shows.  One is a show with Annalisa Burgos.  She is a career TV journalist who has been on a variety of stations around the country and who was with KITV here in Hawaii.  Right now she is teaching at the Journalism Program at UH Manoa.  She was will soon be doing her own series on ThinkTech covering journalism, media and the news you need to know more about.  We are delighted she will be doing a show with us.

We are likewise delighted that Guillermo Sabatier, a senior energy training and compliance executive in Florida will be joining us to host a show on jobs, training and careers in energy and energy technology, a tremendous field for those who want to participate in the enormous market now opening up in that area.  They can earn high pay and work anywhere, often virtually, to help provide better, cleaner, cheaper and more secure energy for our country and beyond.

We look forward to learning more from these two hosts, and we wish them well in their efforts.  These shows will provide specialized national and international coverage that will raise awareness and capture the imagination of our viewers to new ideas and personal possibilities.  Stay tuned for these shows and much more on ThinkTech.

OUR LEGACY COLLECTION

BUILDING OUR LEGACY OF LEARNING ThinkTech is now building a Legacy of Learning Collection out of the nearly 20,000 talk shows, webinars and program videos we have produced over the past ten years. We're going to enhance our website and our YouTube search functions and playlist pages. We want to empower everyone who cares about our content, and make sure that they can find anything we've done, from the beginning. We're going to go through all of these videos, review them for content and quality and improve them for better viewing when appropriate. We're going to curate and organize them into special playlists and collections, and make sure they are good and worthy for archival research and community use under creative commons. Given the number and scope of these videos, it'll take a while and some staff and volunteer time to do what we have in mind, but we're determined to do it and confident that it will be well worthwhile. The project will provide open access o...

  REVAMPING OUR SITE Given our new production workflow (see last week’s ThinkTech Story), and our increased focus on publication dates for disseminating, archiving and retrieving our videos, we’ve revamped our website. More specifically, we have added a section on the home page called Latest Productions (most recently published).   These are our most recent shows, ordered by their publication dates (that is, the dates they are uploaded and published on our YouTube.com channel ( YouTube.com/thinktechhawaii ).   We’ve also created a separate page with this section by itself.   See the top level menu to get there.   And we’ve put a short form of this section on the right side of most other pages of the site, so you can easily find. play and replay them at your convenience. And we have added a section on the home page called Most Popular (most recent top five and staff pick).   There are our current Top Five and Staff Pick talk show videos, ordered by the view...

How News Organizations should approach AI Marty Baron, former executive editor of the Washington Post has published a book on his experience there, "Collision of Power: Trump, Bezos, and THE WASHINGTON POST .   Among some very interesting points he made in an interview with CNN are some suggestions on how news organizations should approach A.I.   Baron said:   “Generative AI poses huge risks but also offers some intriguing opportunities. I think we’re all familiar with the risks, especially when AI pulls so-called information out of the ether. The result is what are typically called "hallucinations." More appropriately they should be called "fabrications."   “Then he added, “But there are ways to introduce some efficiencies in newsroom operations with the careful use of generative AI. Reporters and editors are burdened with all sorts of tasks they didn’t have to perform in a previous era: search- and social-friendly headlines, photo selection, metadata, alerts,...
