About the talk:

The internet bubble marked the end of the information revolution
-- and the beginning of something much bigger, an age of personal
media. It is a revolution we have been anticipating ever since
McLuhan turned Media into a household word in the 1960s, but as
typically happens, even this most anticipated of revolutions is
arriving late, and in utterly unexpected ways. ^Media" is
information that has gone deep into the structure of society, and
the changes it is triggering go far beyond what we watch, create
and pass around to friends. It also changes what we make, what we
use and how we see the world and the challenges that surround us.

VIDEO ACCESS: This talk may not be archived for general on demand
