David Weinberger (JOHO) reports on the Technology Entertainment & Design conference.
Here’s something personally interesting:
Steven Petranik, editor of Discover magazine, ticked off his Top Ten list of ways the world could end suddenly:
10. Failure to address the worldwide epidemic of depression . . .
Hm. Epidemic, eh? That implies that, for a change, I’m part of a significant market demographic or whatever the appropriate buzzwords are. Maybe there’s hope after all.
Speaking of depression, is the Youth Suicide by Firearms Task Force respectable? It cites that slob Kellerman[n] a couple of times, and the group’s name makes me suspicious (why not youth suicide in general?); on the other hand, they seem to emphasize safe storage and the like rather than abolition.
Er, but enough about me. Go read that TED report instead.
