The latest warning of a digital dumbing-down has come from baby boomer Vint Cerf, vice president of Google, who told the press at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) that he is concerned about “all the documents we have been saving on computers” being lost as “hardware and software become obsolete.”
The tech revolution could cause “future generations [to] have little or no record of the 21 century” because of the “digital Dark Age” we are entering.
Referring to the cloud services being pushed of late, Cerf warns “our life, our memories, our most cherished family photographs increasingly exist as bits of information” and they are at a potential risk of being “lost in the wake of an accelerating digital revolution.”
Cerf is worried “great deal about … old formats of documents that we’ve created or presentations may not be readable by the latest version of the software because backwards compatibility is not always guaranteed. And so what can happen over time is that even if we accumulate vast archives of digital content, we may not actually know what it is.”
However, Cerf’s solution is to use the cloud to preserve “the memories we hold so dear” for future generations in a digital museum.
Cerf said: “The solution is to take an X-ray snapshot of the content and the application and the operating system together, with a description of the machine that it runs on, and preserve that for long periods of time. And that digital snapshot will recreate the past in the future.
Interestingly, this scenario Cerf poses assumes that Google is still “around in the next millennium”.
Cerf replied: “I think it is amusing to imagine that it is the year 3000 and you’ve done a Google search. The X-ray snapshot we are trying to capture should be transportable from one place to another. So, I should be able to move it from the Google cloud to some other cloud, or move it into a machine I have. The key here is when you move those bits from one place to another, that you still know how to unpack them to correctly interpret the different parts. That is all achievable if we standardize the descriptions. And that’s the key issue here – how do I ensure in the distant future that the standards are still known, and I can still interpret this carefully constructed X-ray snapshot?”
Cloud services are becoming a quick and inexpensive way to store data online and the potential catalyst into digital ignorance warned against by Cerf.
Last year, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) handed Amazon Web Service (AWS) a $600 million defense contract to assist the agency in converting to cloud services.
AWS is tasked with warehousing data concerning government surveillance and information on spooks.
In the future, the cloud will be expected to deploy user decisions and make up the marketplace to keep cloud providers closest to the loop between government digital surveillance and maintaining customer data privacy.
Cloud computing is the future, according to groups like Open Data Center Alliance (ODCA) who represent corporations such as:
• Disney Technology Solutions
• Deutsche Telekom
• SAP
• Infosys
• AT&T
• Microsoft
• JP Morgan Chase
• Dell Hewlett Packard
• Pfizer
• Purdue University
• Shell Global Solutions
• Sprint
Data security on the cloud is a concern of 80% of ODCA members; however 56% of those members complain that regulation will “limit” the adoption of cloud computing.
The California Department of Technology (CDT) is teaming up with IBM to create CalCloud , a new technological model for other states in the US to bring state governments into the cloud computing of the future.
IBM asserts that CalCloud is the platform that will allow municipalities, local and state governments to subscribe to cloud services, access to IT products “while minimizing upfront capital investment and controlling financial risk.”
CalCloud is meant to entice governments across the nation to “hare a common pool of computing resources and operate more efficiently. Immediate access to modern back-end services frees up state departments to focus on projects with direct impact on the public.”
IBM explained: “More than 20 state departments have already requested IT services through CalCloud.”
In 2014, IBM and AT&T announced combining forces to bring a connected network to cities in order to integrate the Internet of Things within municipalities.
This alliance has initiated with the task of with integrating digital solutions for infrastructure of cities to “improve urban planning” and reduce costs to residents.
The AT&T facility at the M2M Foundry in Texas and IBM Global Solution Centers (GSC) around the world will join forces to showcase new inventive smart technologies to enhance customer experience, improve safety measures and enhance protocol in currently used facilities.
Retail corporations see this venture as way to implement “intelligent retail cabinets, enable targeted digital advertising and reduce energy cost and consumption.”
The plan involves technology being shared across the two corporations in order to assist cities and utilities corporations in processing large amounts of data siphoned from databases and sensors that control the inner workings of our national infrastructure.
Key directives of this alliance include:

Better allocate and distribute resources based on information reported from incidents and service disruptions.
Analyze the movement of people to improve traffic management, parking capacity, location and number of first unit responders.
City officials can better prepare and react to potential bottlenecks and other issues in case of an emergency.
Identify inefficient traffic patterns so that traffic can be re-routed; better allocate public safety resources in places where majority of people congregate.
Monitor social media updates from citizens reporting bad weather or major traffic so the city can take best course of action.

Lauren Casey, professor at Rutgers University is claiming that her friend Alan Robock, former climatologist, said that he was contacted by an unnamed person asserting they were a “consultant” to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) contacted him regarding weaponized weather.
Robock’s alleged statement came during an argument between him and Casey over “the use of geoengineering to combat climate change”.
The former climatologist made the CIA contact claim during a discussion at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).
Robok said that the caller was a contractor for the CIA and asked him “if we control someone else’s climate, would they then know about it?”
Before the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Project (HAARP) was decommissioned, this experiment was capable of producing torrential rain storms and horrendous drought, earthquakes, tsunamis and most other “natural” disasters seen periodically as a normal geological and bio-spherical pattern.
In 1998, Bernard Eastlund, contractor for the European Space Agency (ESA), wrote a paper on how to knock out tornadoes using HAARP instruments on the ground. That paper was peer-reviewed and presented in Italy and it was widely accepted.
Nine years later, Aledia Centeno Rodriquez, speaker at the UN General Assembly on Decolonization (UNGAD) mentioned the use of an “ionospheric heater” used by the Arecibo National Astronomy and Ionospheric Center (NAIC) in conjunction with HAARP, which has a patent filed in the US mentioning the experiment’s ability to conduct ionospheric manipulation.
According to the patent , HAARP can also function as an anti-missile and anti-aircraft defense system, permit interception and disruption of communications, [disruption of] weather and submarine and subterranean communications, among other things.
HAARP is capable of being able to “simulate and perform the same function as performed by the detonation of a heavy type nuclear device”.
The US government has been looking into the possibility of connections between changing weather and war over resources.
In 2012, the National Research Council (NRC) announced they are conducting a study that will analyze and evaluate “evaluate the evidence on possible connections between climate change and U.S. national security concerns and to identify ways to increase the ability of the intelligence community to take climate change into account in assessing political and social stresses with implications for U.S. national security.”
The NRC, initiated by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) released a report entitled “Climate and Social Stress: Implications for Security Analysis” explains that extreme weather frequency is expected to increase and that this environmental shift is viewed as a disruption to be planned for.
The summation is that knowledge of climate change and its possible extremes could assist the intelligence community in mitigating damage to operational missions. And since it is the consensus of eco-fascists that man is the cause of climate change, the matter is best settled if there were educational directions concerning national security with regard to global warming.
According to the report: “Tropical storms and the increased storm surges that result from sea-level rise and, in some cases, land subsidence can disrupt production, refining and transport of petroleum. In addition, because offshore oil and gas platforms are generally not designed to accommodate a permanent rise in mean sea level, climate-related sea-level rise would disrupt production.”
The totality of analysis for national security encompasses climate science, political issues and social science which is viewed as “an important need is to integrate the social science of natural disasters and disaster response with other forms of analysis. This body of knowledge is particularly important for assessing the security consequences of climate change because disruptive climate events will typically be perceived and responded to as natural disasters.”
The report explains: “The intelligence community presumably already uses an analogous process to consider the ability of foreign governments and societies to withstand various kinds of social and political stresses. The results of stress tests would inform national security decision makers about places that are at risk of becoming security concerns as a result of climate events and could be used by the U.S. government or international aid agencies to target high-risk places for efforts to reduce susceptibilities or to improve coping, response and recovery capacities.”
Another report entitled “National Security and the Threat of Climate Change” is an assessment of climate change’s impact on national security and the mounting threats identified by CNA.
This report asserts that climate change is a definitive threat to national security because it “acts as a threat multiplier for instability in some of the most volatile regions of the world.” By adding tensions to citizens of even developed countries, the possibility of being cut off from energy sources, necessities and protection is a concern of the US military.
The suggested solution is a commitment “to a stronger national and international role to help stabilize climate changes at levels that will avoid significant disruption to global security and stability.”

Vatican mulling new department to tackle environmental issues

VATICAN CITY Thu Feb 12, 2015 11:51am EST

VATICAN CITY Feb 12 (Reuters) - The Vatican is considering setting up an environmental think tank, a spokesman said on Thursday, which could influence the opinion of the world's 1.2 billion Roman Catholics on such thorny issues as climate change.

Father Federico Lombardi said the proposal was discussed at a closed-door meeting of cardinals from around the world who are at the Vatican to deliberate a reform of the Church's central administration, known as the Curia.
"We see a growth in the awareness (of environmental problems) and in the importance of reflection, commitment, and study of environmental issues and their relation to social and human questions," he told reporters at a briefing.
Pope Francis has said that man is destroying nature and betraying God's calling to be stewards of creation.
Last month, he said he believed man was primarily responsible for climate change and he hoped a U.N. summit in Paris in November, due to agree a global pact to limit greenhouse gases, would take a courageous stand.[IDn:nL3N0UU4R8].
The pope's keenly awaited encyclical, or message to the whole Church, on the environment is due in early summer. Lombardi said it would provide guidelines for the Church's "serious and considerable" commitment to environmental issues.
The spokesman said the environment office would likely come under a new Curia department grouping justice, peace and charity issues. (Reporting By Philip Pullella; editing by Liisa Tuhkanen and Ralph Boulton)

Collider hopes for a 'super' restart

Discovery of the new particle would herald a new realm of physics, as the BBC's Pallab Ghosh reports

A senior researcher at the Large Hadron Collider says a new particle could be detected this year that is even more exciting than the Higgs boson.

The accelerator is due to come back online in March after an upgrade that has given it a big boost in energy.

This could force the first so-called supersymmetric particle to appear in the machine, with the most likely candidate being the gluino.

Its detection would give scientists direct pointers to "dark matter".

And that would be a big opening into some of the remaining mysteries of the universe.

"It could be as early as this year. Summer may be a bit hard but late summer maybe, if we're really lucky," said Prof Beate Heinemann, who is a spokeswoman for the Atlas experiment, one of the big particle detectors at the LHC.

"We hope that we're just now at this threshold that we're finding another world, like antimatter for instance. We found antimatter in the beginning of the last century. Maybe we'll find now supersymmetric matter."

The University of California at Berkeley researcher made her comments at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
In the debris
Supersymmetry is an addition to the Standard Model, which describes nature’s fundamental particles and their interactions.

Susy, as it is sometimes known, fills some gaps in the model and provides a basis to unify nature's forces.

It predicts each of the particles to have more massive partners. So the particle that carries light – the photon – would have a partner called the photino. The quark, the building block of an atom’s protons and neutrons, would have a partner called the squark.

But when the LHC was colliding matter at its pre-upgrade energies, no sign of these superparticles was seen in the debris, which led to some consternation among theorists.

Now, with the accelerator about to reopen in the coming weeks, there is high hope the first evidence of Susy can be found.

The machine is going to double the collision energy, taking it into a domain where those theorists say the gluino really ought to emerge in sufficient numbers to be noticed. The gluino is the superpartner of the gluon, which "glues" the quarks together inside protons and neutrons.

The LHC’s detectors would not see it directly. What they would track is its decay, which scientists would then have to reconstruct.

But importantly, those decay products should include the lightest and most stable superparticle, known as the neutralino – the particle that researchers have proposed is what makes up dark matter, the missing mass in the cosmos that gravitationally binds galaxies together on the sky but which cannot be seen directly with telescopes.

"This would rock the world,” said Prof Heinemann. "For me, it’s more exciting than the Higgs."
'The other side'
So, not only would supersymmetry proponents be elated because they would have their first superparticle, but science in general would have a firm foot on the road to understanding dark matter.

Dr Michael Williams, from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said: "We sometimes talk about the dark matter particle, but it’s perfectly plausible that dark matter is just as interesting as [normal] matter, [which] has a lot of particles that we know about.

"There might be just as many dark matter particles, or even more.

"Finding any particle that could be a dark matter candidate is nice because we could start to understand how it affects the galaxy and the evolution of the universe, but it also opens the door to whatever is on the other side, which we have no idea what is there."

Particle physicists have three major conferences in August and September, one of which is the main gathering of the supersymmetry community. All these meetings are bound to draw huge interest.

But Prof Jay Hauser, who works on the CMS detector at the LHC, added a little caution on timings. "Even if we did see something, remember it might be complicated enough that it takes us a while to explain it," he told reporters.
