The End of Offline
Our lives are increasingly, constantly intertwined with the network. As our connected world evolves, a new online ecosystem emerges, enabling new levels of awareness, insight, and action. What will a world of 7 billion connected people look like? More united or divided? What happens to the shape of our companies, countries and communities? Techonomy 2012 tackled these questions in its opening session, "The End of Offline," featuring Harvard's Susan Athey, Douglas L. Gilstrap of Ericsson, Robert D. Hormats of the U.S. Department of State, and David Sze of Greylock Partners. The discussion was moderated by Techonomy founder David Kirkpatrick.
