Each day, the Internet and the World Wide Web change the world we live in, from how we shop to how we work. As with any new technology, there are both positive and negative results from its integration into our society. What are the limits and boundaries of the Internet? How pervasive is it in our lives? How much further does it have to go? Professor David Weinberger will share his academic views on these important matters.
Dr David Weinberger is a professor at the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard Law School. He's the co-author of the The Cluetrain Manifesto, the bestseller that cut through the hype and told business what the Web was really about. His next book, Small Pieces Loosely Joined has been published to rave reviews hailing it as the first book to put the Internet in its deepest context. His latest book, Everything Is Miscellaneous: The Power of the New Digital Disorder, explains how the new rules for organizing ideas and information are transforming business and culture.
