A Care Planning and mtce tool:
"Tyze helps you…
…schedule everything from medical appointments to birthday parties
…plan tasks and report on progress
…connect with new people who can build and strengthen your network
…tell the story of the person at the centre of the network: their triumphs and challenges, and how they touch the lives of the people around them
Tyze is about the person at the centre of the network.
Tyze is much more than a way to make appointments and track tasks. It's a place to celebrate the contributions and achievements of the person at the centre of the network – and a way they can stay connected to friends and loved ones.
And for the network's members, it's a chance to feel connected and effective in a whole new way." -

"The point of this story isn't to get everyone to pay attention to me or professors in general – it's that I want my students to learn that attention is a skill that must be learned, shaped, practiced; this skill must evolve if we are to evolve. The technological extension of our minds and brains by chips and nets has granted great power to billions of people, but even in the early years of always-on, it is clear to even technology enthusiasts like me that this power will certainly mislead, mesmerize and distract those who haven't learned – were never taught – how to exert some degree of mental control over our use of laptop, handheld, earbudded media."

The study focused on quantifying the state of today's connectedness, tracking its acceptance and use across devices and applications as well as determining the pace of its growth and impact on the enterprise."

"According to a 16-page Nortel Whitepaper, "16% of people are 'hyper connected' [and] that 16% is expected to balloon to over 40% in the coming years." Such people "use many more devices, channels, and tools then 'regular' people" and "they are generally always on, always connected and see this as a good thing." (hat tip Stephen Downes)"
