Iterating for a Greater GoodThis was the broadcast I did with 3 brilliant minds earlier. We talked about how they've quickly adapted their platforms to help contribute in the fight of Covid-19. Coronatracker.com, developed by Dr Lau Cherhan, is a realtime portal to see what's going on around the world with Covid-19, Private Kit: Safepath, jointly developed by Mr Riddhiman Das along with MIT, is an anonymous contact tracing app to let users know if they've come in contact with any infected person, and Qsearch is a social listening platform that is currently sifting through social media channels to identify hotspots and the CEO/Founder is Roger Do. It's exciting to see how startups and technology are able to move quickly to offer a greater good to society. After all, this is what innovation is all about. Watch the broadcast and let me know what you think. This is a terrible period. 2020 hasn't exactly evolved in the ways we thought it would be.
This crisis we called a pandemic has certainly thrown a lot of questions our way, what we thought would be the norm, all the norms are now being rewritten. But in anything that happens, we the human race will survive. Global economy is going to tank but as a HK friend said, "If the problem is about money, then it's not a problem". Let's hope this is true. More importantly, we have learnt, or forced to learn, that we need to live for each other. Just simply keeping our distance so that we don't inadvertently infect others and not hoard, are fundamental behaviors that will greatly help human kind. Let's try and wade out this period of uncertainties, and when you look out, the air may be fresher, and the colors brighter. |
