Some sense of this is in <a href="http://rmf.vc/IEEERefactoringCE">http://rmf.vc/IEEERefactoringCE</a>. I realize that the “Institute For the Future” framing seems to be the opposite of history but the first step is to revisit the last fifty years in light of what we’ve learned since. We tend to fit the Internet into the story of telecommunications rather than recognizing that it a discontinuity and part of a very different story.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>For those in the New Jersey area I’m going to be at <a href="http://www.vintage.org/2015/east/">http://www.vintage.org/2015/east/</a> this weekend.
