| [Nettime-bold] [cybersalon] The Shape of Nets to Come - Tues 18 Dec 2001 |
<The Shape of Nets to Come> //// The Cybersalon/ NMK Christmas lecture ///// Tues 18 december 2001 8pm- 1am <content> Discussion 8.00 - 9.30pm Is the internet able to transform society, increase freedom and provide unlimited business opportunities? Is this Utopian hype? The Annual New Media Knowledge Christmas Lecture is given by Dr Richard Barbrook- co founder of Cybersalon. Dr Barbrook will examine the history of the internet, its current value as a medium and how it will continue to grow and affect culture, business and society. He will give a hard-hitting and critical analysis of how new media has developed over the last few years, and will take on the 'Californian utopians' and the 'English miserablists', arguing that the industry has been cursed by both exuberant optimism and irrational pessimism.
