To anticipate the social impact of future IT, it would help to be an expert sociologist with a perfect crystal ball. I don’t have such expertise, so I’ll restrict my comments to specific areas where I think I have some vague idea of what I’m talking about … and aside from that, I’ll simply recommend [...]

I just finished presenting a two-day seminar on “Enterprise 2.0” in Rome on May 19-21, 2010. You can download the 57.3-megabyte PDF file by clicking on the link above, or the image below, or by viewing/downloading the presentation from my Slideshare page. A few of the slides may seem rather cryptic and mysterious, but if [...]

While I was presenting my Web 2.0 seminar in Rome this week, I had a chance to review and edit the V53 Web 2.0 materials that I recently uploaded — as well as adding some new material based on the June 9, 2008 Apple presentation about its new iPhone3g. The result is a new V54 [...]

I’m giving a presentation on Web 2.0 technologies for the Atlanta SPIN organization tomorrow evening (for details and directions to the meeting location, click here), and I thought it would be a good idea to update the mind-map I’ve been refining and extending over the past year and a half; I’m up to version 35 [...]

I had the pleasure of giving a Web 2.0 presentation to the New York City chapter of the Software Process Improvement Network (SPIN) this evening, using the Web 2.0 mind-map that I’ve been working on for the past several months. Surprisingly, roughly half of the audience indicated that they were unfamiliar with, unaware of, or [...]

In the midst of today’s airline terrorist alert, Middle East war, bombings in Iraq, North Slope pipeline shutdown, and general chaos and confusion, some notes about a technology conference in Cambridge last week is likely to be — as Steve Jobs likes to put it — as stale as yesterday’s oatmeal. But unlike some of [...]

I’m familiar with Larry Lessig’s work, and have read his books, but I’ve never heard him speak before; so I was looking forward to his keynote talk with great anticipation. But I have to admit that I failed utterly to listen, comprehend, summarize, and present a coherent analysis of what he said. Part of the [...]

I’ve now finished sitting through the first day’s sessions of Wikimania 2006, in a congenial environment at the Harvard Law School, with plenty of food and refreshments, and a good high-speed Wi-Fi network everywhere I went.
I expected a fairly calm, low-key discussion among amiable academics about the details of organizing and creating, uploading, and maintaining [...]

Any excuse to visit San Francisco is a good one, as long as the San Andreas fault holds together for another couple of years. My excuse this week is the annual conference of the Information Technology Law Conference, aka ITechLaw. In past years, it has generally been held in such East Coast locations as Washington [...]
