Esther Dyson on emerging technologies
For those interested in the question of emerging technologies, here’s a link to a discussion on the Charlie Rose television show with Esther Dyson . I don’t know much about Ms. Dyson, but she seems a particularly thoughtful variety of… what should I call her… investment capitalist.
Here she talks about everything from putting her own genome up on the web to facebook to what comes after google to weather reports for Indian farmers. These are not suprising topics of themselves, but what struck me was her sense of nuance in approaching them… an attitude a bit like the one I saw us trying to develop last year in our approach to the contemporary.
