Howard Rheingold Keynote
CDB Barkley (aka Alan Levine) : Dec 6, 2007 12:13pm
On the Printing Press…
Originally uploaded by NMC Second Life.
Among the many higwater marks of the NMC Symposium on Evolution of Communication was our live keynote from Howard Rheingold (same name in First and Second Lives!) on “Co-Evolution”.
He took us on a thrilling ride through the very first forms of written communication through the impact of the printing press (impact on literacy, expansion of science), that the Protestant Reformation was “the first virtual community”, right on through to the technologies we see today.
We are working right now to edit the recorded video to make it available for those who were not there, or those who want to heard it again. We had a great back and forth conversation/Q&A so much we could get to only half of the questions (this too will be shared, soon!).

Did you get a movie of the keynote? It would be interesting to see.

Yes… um.. that is what we meant by “We are working right now to edit the recorded video to make it available for those who were not there, or those who want to heard it again”
