This would be an unforgettable event if it weren't for all the parties! Share your memories and takeaways from the events while they are fresh in your mind.
This is a provocative and very important book. Its genesis was the author noticed his inability to focus and not be distracted as he used the Internet more and more. As befits the author of Does It Matter? and The Big Switch , he looked at the impact on many technologies on thinking/the brain along with the commentators of the time. This included the advent of clocks, writing (clay to parchment) , … more
When I first came across this book I noticed that a lot of my friends on social media were expressing disgust or boredom with the thesis of "Is the Internet frying our brain?" After all, who but a curmudgeon would claim that the most vital and transformative technology of our time might have a dark side? Especially at a time when leading edge educators are working furiously to bring their field up … more

The main keynote room quickly became packed and … more

Some of the things that were just plain weird was the paparazzi scene around such internet well knowns as Pete Cashmore, Robert Scoble and Leo Laporte. Now I'm still a fanboy … more

Rather than listening to the panelists speak for the entire hour, folks from the audience from both generations … more
