This is a really interesting presentation by technologist Tim O'Reilly. I'd love to talk about it. Conversation starters could be: We are on our way,if not already there, to a new Tower of Babel. What are the implications? Are we evolving? Technology allows us to interact (in forums like this) and "remember" (think of wikipedia, etc.) Democracy is spreading throughout the world. We could argue whether this is good or bad, but more importantly, it is happening. What are the implications?
