Presentation at Cuyamaca College

Today I had the great privilege of speaking at the Spring 2011 Convocation at Cuyamaca College. This is a new presentation I'm doing that discusses the massive transformations that have occurred in our culture as a result of technology. We examine a number of industries that have undergone radical change and then dive deep into the music industry. I trace the technological evolution from Thomas Edison to Steve Jobs and suggest that higher education might be following a similar path. It's a challenging discussion and I was really impressed with the group at Cuyamaca. They were incredibly hospitable and I greatly appreciated their interest and their feedback. It was a good day.

New Mobile Keyboard

I'm not sure if this is the answer, but it's a very interesting question. If the keyboard was being invented today, how would we design it for a mobile device? I doubt it would look like what I have on my iPhone.
