At some point between 2013 and 2015, I argue that we entered the Exponential Age. It is a new period of human affairs catalysed by accelerating technologies in four broad domains: computing, energy, biology and manufacturing.

We are walking into a nexus of network adoption effects, at scale of which humanity has never seen before, of numerous technologies.

Being electrical engineers by background, we in Anapoly are keen supporters of the work Plymouth Energy Community is doing and we have been shareholders in PEC for some years. Although they are not PEC initiatives, our colleague Ray Holland is closely involved with community solar farms in the South Hams.
PEC is looking for rooftop sites to install solar PV:

Anapoly’s office is in Skardon Place – a cul de sac off North Hill. In addition to our office there are 15 homes in Skardon Place, and there is a strong community spirit. It occurs to us that it might be possible to set up a community scheme to take up the offer of free renewable energy installation. I have contacted them to explore the possibility.
Wikipedia describes Sam Harris as “an American neuroscientist, philosopher, author, critic of religion, blogger, public intellectual, and podcast host“. In his Making Sense podcasts he converses with a wide range of people whose experiences, thinking and analysis of what is happening in the world today have much to offer us.
A recent conversation with Renée DiResta explored the methods used by Russia to influence society in the United States. She gives a very clear explanation of how these are made possible by the way social media have developed and discusses the main lines of attack, which are to increase the polarisation that already exists in society and to amplify conspiracy thinking.
A recent newsletter from Plymouth Social Enterprise Network introduced its board members. I was interested to see that one of these – Dave Kilroy – is an NHS Digital Innovation Associate and that, according to his LinkedIn profile, in this role he is involved with LiveCode, OpenEHR and the Code4Health platform.
OpenEHR was at the heart of a project I managed from 2001 to 2003; our purpose was to demonstrate the feasibility of creating an Electronic Health Record by gathering together clinical records and messages already produced within the care pathway. Although widely used in research programmes, at that time OpenEHR had not been deployed in many operational systems. There are now more, one of them being OPENeP – a paperless prescribing and medications administration (ePMA) system being implemented by Plymouth Hospitals NHS Trust.
