David Brin Vs. Brad Templeton; Broadband Activist Dewayne Hendricks Wires the Developing World, & More in the Newest Tech Tidbits
The Institute for the Study of Accelerating Change puts out a weekly newsletter called Tech Tidbits. You can check out this week's edition here. It includes a description of an upcoming debate between physicist-author David Brin and EFF chairman Brad Templeton at Accelerating Change 2004: Physical Space, Virtual Space, and Interface. The topic of that debate is "The Costs and Benefits of Transparency: How Far, How Fast, How Fair?" and Steve Jurvetson, Managing Director of the Draper Fisher Jurvetson technology venture capital firm, will moderate. This week's edition also spotlights broadband activist (yes indeed) Dewayne Hendricks, President of the Dandin Group, who's working to bring state-of-the-art networks to underdeveloped areas like the Country of Tonga and American Indian reservations. Exciting, hopeful stuff. Dewayne will also be speaking at Accelerating Change.
ISAC is also looking for story submissions. If you'd like to submit an article or write-up for Tech Tidbits or Accelerating Times please email me at jerrypaffendorf(at)accelerating(dot)org.
