Welcome to my daily learning journal. My daily goal is to watch one Ted Talk and one cataract surgery. I also plan to read one journal article and read/listen to a book chapter, short story or significant work.
Here’s today’s list:
1. Ted Talk – Chrystia Freeland: The rise of the new global super-rich. “Technology is advancing in leaps and bounds — and so is economic inequality, says writer Chrystia Freeland. In an impassioned talk, she charts the rise of a new class of plutocrats (those who are extremely powerful because they are extremely wealthy), and suggests that globalization and new technology are actually fueling, rather than closing, the global income gap. Freeland lays out three problems with plutocracy … and one glimmer of hope.” (ted.com).
This was a trending talk.
2A. Cataract Surgery – Richard Mackool MD – Episode 15: Fluidics, Fluidics, Fluidics. Dr. Mackool states, “In this issue I discuss and demonstrate the synergism of high IOP and high vacuum settings during phacoemulsification.”
