Part of the MESH ’07 conference. Interesting co-panelists: Mark Federman, who I have interviewed before for my CBC column, and who brought a very refreshing McLuhanite perspective to the table, and Mark Schneider, veteran journalist who now works with Now Public, who made a great analogy off the top about how we’re engaged in a huge engineering project (ie the Internet) and we haven’t done an ‘environmental impact’ study, just by way of, not opposing it obviously, but stepping back and considering its effects.
