• 5b Ideas command line at educational software: just like you can type f

    I feel as if when you know command line instead of using the mouse you have more extensible flexible influence over what happens.
    A person who can type their own formulas into a spreadsheet just seems like they can do more, more efficiently than using a mouse and pull down menus or other various browser forms
    So then learning how to learn could be improved with making low rememberability things like 7th grade sentence diagramming into educational powerhouses of practicing and liking command line. There is a chance this will mainly appeal to the upper third of
    students but giving as many people as possible more deeply effective computer skills is beneficial.
    It might work like this: keystroke: highlight all nouns simultaneously. Keystroke: highlight all adjectives with a different color, find, or if you are hardcore. Regex where the two are next to each other, pipe those to a file. Homework accomplished!
    This makes command line fluency look and feel great compared with using a mouse to highlight each noun manually, a gradual process. Students can be encouraged to teach each other command line, or perhaps just as good, educational software can teach
    command line fluency. When learning how to learn the 1/3 of the class that picks this up are likelier to become power users of whatever software they meet and use as adults, benefitting their actual ability as well as their career success.

    OK, so make it so all students have command line practice, just leave the mouse option available on the work for the casual or unfocused.

    .5b Technology transfer and accelerating the generation of new companies in new fields. My perception is that although money is attracted to high or highest return the wide range of companies and products suggest another driver at work; it is possible
    that some seeds of new companies come from the reapplication of previously gained knowledge. A programmer might write an app rather than switch to high return investment banking. There is a psychological test called the big five and one area of it is "
    openness to experience" so it is imaginable that 90th percentile openness would be attracted to highest financial return but the10% least open would do what they already know, and the middle would combine approaches. Some actual quantified measured
    version of this could be used to predict and/or stimulate new company, and new technology growth. Yay! That way there can be more kinds of beneficial things as well as new beneficial things.
    A technology form that utilizes this perspective on how new companies and products come into being is: a new financial allure page area at applied for patents. Basically the inventor makes starting capital and continuing value financial projections that
    preferably realistically present the value of the invention. A standard xml ready form would be preferred although people could write anything they like at the financial allure page. The standard form could have slots for data and projections, rather
    like an XML version of an annual report.(with different stuff). This XML of projected financials heightens the likeliness of company formation and product creation with outside capital. For example when interest rates go down a percent some consultant's
    software can sift one million patents' financial allure pages for a newly calculated ROI at a particular forecast capital risk, this then results in hundreds of new investments which become companies. That is because, among some, capital flows towards
    the highest return. Also this could benefit not only the US and Europe but also China as the XML of all new Chinese ideas could be bulk processed for what might be rather like a mutual fund with a predicted return. The only annoying part is that I have
    read venture capitalists like to invest on a people basis rather than a technology basis. Still, if the financial models accurately predict return from the XML financial allure patents perhaps Quant's will direct funding to it
    This benefits the creation of new actual things from basic research; universities would always automatically make financial allure XML pages on their patents. I strongly value basic scientific research and note this maintains a way to, as usual, publish
    without hype in peer reviewed journals while still catalyzing the application of a patent to make actual new beneficial things.
