Title
Acceleration Watch (Understanding Accelerating Change)
Description
Acceleration Watch is dedicated to helping people to understand and better manage accelerating change in the closing decades of the era of non-intelligent machines. Its primary author is John Smart.
I am a developmental systems theorist who studies science and technological culture with an emphasis on accelerating change, computational autonomy (human-independent machine learning) and a hypothesis known in futurist circles as the technological singularity (increasingly generalized human-surpassing machine intellignce). I'm also president of the Acceleration Studies Foundation (ASF, Accelerating.org) a nonprofit community that seeks to help individuals better understand and manage continuous accelerating change.
I have a B.S. in business from the Haas school at U.C. Berkeley, have done graduate work in human physiology and medicine at U.C. San Diego, and coursework in biological, cognitive, computer and physical sciences at U.C.L.A., U.C. Berkeley, and U.C.S.D. I'm completing an M.S. in Future Studies at the University of Houston. I have authored one book, Planning a Life in Medicine, 2005 (for premedical students), and am writing my second, on the topic of accelerating change.
