Herb Cohen – The master!
Sherry Turkle studies how technology is shaping our modern relationships: with others, with ourselves, with it.
Since her pathbreaking The Second Self: Computers and The Human Spirit in 1984 psychologist and sociologist Sherry Turkle has been studying how technology changes not only what we do but who we are. In 1995′s Life on the Screen: Identity in the Age of the Internet, Turkle explored how the Internet provided new possibilities for exploring identity.
Described as “the Margaret Mead of digital cuture,” Turkle has now turned her attention to the world of social media and sociable robots. As she puts it, these are technologies that propose themselves “as the architect of our intimacies.” In her most recent book, Alone Together: Why We Expect More From Technology and Less From Each Other, Turkle argues that the social media we encounter on a daily basis are confronting us with a moment of temptation. Drawn by the illusion of companionship without the demands of intimacy, we confuse postings and online sharing with authentic communication. We are drawn to sacrifice conversation for mere connection. Turkle suggests that just because we grew up with the Internet, we tend to see it as all grown up, but it is not: Digital technology is still in its infancy and there is ample time for us to reshape how we build it and use it.
Turkle is a professor in the Program in Science, Technology and Society at MIT and the founder and director of the MIT Initiative on Technology and Self.
“What technology makes easy is not always what nurtures the human spirit.”

Dear Friends, Members, and Affiliates,
Many of you have been asking when will there be local events in Detroit held by the Global Information Network? Well it’s coming! I’ve arranged with my upline, Level 5 member, and official GIN Sanctioned Speaker, Timothy Lambright, to conduct local GIN meetings on an ongoing basis. 
Tim has been a great mentor to me and as of this writing is on his way to Chicago Illinois to take the live, proctored level 5 test. One first becomes a level 5 candidate and spends a great deal of time studying and reviewing ALL of the material. When they are ready they travel to take the level 5 test. Level 5 is the highest level that is currently attainable in the Global Information Network and these people are literally magical in what they are able to achieve. It is a notoriously difficult test. Once a full level 5, the benefits made available to these members are mind-blowing. I’ll let Tim tell you on Friday!
We are going to have the first set of meetings Friday March 16th and Saturday March 17. Here’s the agenda:
This is incredibly exciting for me as it heralds a new era of our own local GIN chapter with member support and ongoing events, recognition, and member development! I look forward to seeing you all on Friday! Contact me for the meeting location.
May you never be the same,
- David

Concierge Services
Higher Level Members will have access to VIP Concierge Services to help them gain access to global VIP events.
Global Assistance Program
It is our plan that members will have access to a Membership-based Global Assistance program. For example, if a Member needs help while traveling, they will be able to contact Global Assistance and a local Member will be contacted to help out their fellow GIN brother or sister.
Local Chapter Meetings
As the number of Sanctioned Speakers increases, we expect that you will see hundreds, and eventually thousands, of Local Chapter Meetings hosted monthly all around the world. Based on the location, the Local Chapter Meeting will be in the native language of the participants.
Mastering the Success Mastery Course
As the number of Sanctioned Speakers increases, we expect hundreds, and eventually thousands of Mastering the Success Mastery Course seminars to be hosted all around the world. These seminars are essential in assisting Members master the key points of the Success Mastery Course and allow them to achieve all of their dreams in life.
One Day Members-only Seminars
We expect that the number of One Day Members-only seminars and variety of subjects covered will increase dramatically over the next few years. We expect to eventually have hundreds of One Day Members-only seminars that will be put on by world-class experts in a variety of fields. These experts will touch on a vast range of subjects, all designed to help increase the quality of your life.

GIN Retirement Community
We would like to build a retirement community so that GIN Members will have access to world-class assisted living retirement communities. They can live amongst other GIN Members in a positive environment. Membership level and Affiliate pin level will determine the costs. Higher level Members will have costs dramatically reduced in these assisted living and retirement communities.
GIN Schools
We would like to build schools, including Universities, which teach curriculums based on the teachings of the Success Mastery Course. This will provide students with an environment that cannot be duplicated in the real world. Features of the schools will include 100% organic food with a focus on the importance of exercise. Healthy lifestyle, nutrition, positive thinking, encouragement, and recognition, as well as high academic standards will make these schools world-class.

GIN Global Campus & Training Center
Website Upgrades
Online Back Office Reporting
Over the next few months and upcoming year, we plan constant improvements to the back office for your Affiliate organization.
Improvements to look for are:
Affiliate Support
We are working toward having 24/7 Affiliate support via email, instant messaging, and telephone calls. These will include various languages in order for Affiliates from around the world to communicate with Affiliate support personnel in their native language.
Global Membership Overview Meetings

The ultimate goal is that the entire GIN website be translated in various languages globally. For example, if a GIN Member inGermanylogs onto www.globalinformationnetwork.com, they would automatically be redirected to the German site. Additionally, when a person joins, they would have the option to choose a default language they want their website to be. We would then communicate to them in that language in the form of emails, audios, etc. If they choose German, all communication with that individual would be in German. The same goes with people who live inFrance, etc.
Global Seminars & Rallies
As the number of Sanctioned Speakers increase, we plan hundreds, and eventually thousands, of monthly Affiliate Seminars and Rallies hosted all around the world in various languages.
Major Functions
It is our plan that the four Major Functions; the winter Leadership Cruise, the spring Dream Weekend, the Summer Conference, and the fall Family Reunion, will ultimately be global.
