GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES V: WIRING THE DEVELOPING WORLD
Of course information technology (I.T.) is changing business
practices-- but it is also having a profound effect on society.
I.T. is changing the way children learn and how they will serve in
the new workforce. It is changing the way adults work, live, and
choose products and services. With the digital landscape being,
at present, uneven--emerging markets representing huge
populations have by far the most growth potential for technology
development and for companies with strong technology
infrastructures. Nicholas Negroponte will offer his perspective
accompanied by CEO commentary.
Speakers:
Nicholas Negroponte
Co-founder and Director
M.I.T. Media Laboratory
and
