Nicholas Negroponte deserves a place in the pantheon of applicable visionaries we have been enshrining of late in our PSA Visionary Hall of Fame.
Author of seminal books “The Media Lab” and “Being Digital”, Nicholas has continued to work in the position of visionary and enabler after founding MIT Media Lab, and active around the world in fomenting quality thinking about ongoing communications revolution.
This is a link to a video of part of keynote speech he gave this past summer at World Future Society meet, where he starts out talking about “the future”… he’s also still on board for the “laptop for every child” initiative and goal. The complete speech audio, and a “promised” accompanying slideshow link here but not free. Some other interesting topics in the list there.
