Five Riffs on EmTech08 - Illuminata
I spent the past couple of days attending Technology Review’s EmTech08
conference at MIT. Lots of interesting speakers and ideas, some in
areas of tech that I follow day-to-day (such as Cloud Computing) and
others that I follow more in the vein of an interested observer
(alternative fuels, open voting systems). In many respects, it’s a
refreshing change of pace from the events I commonly attend that tend
to be more focused on today’s immediate IT concerns.
EmTech08 gave me lots to mull–and I’ll roll that mulling into more
in-depth pieces down the road. For today, though, I’m just going to
expand a bit on a few statements and thoughts I ran across in the
course of the two days that particularly caught my attention.
