Today is an interview with Kevin Kelly (http://www.kk.org).  He's admired for his new perspectives on technology and renowned for his Ted Talks (http://www.ted.com/speakers/kevin_kelly.html) We discuss today about What Technology Wants * His thoughts on the third industrial revolution - it is not about computers it is about networks. * How Darwin's theory of evolution can be used to understand the "technium" (http://www.kk.org/thetechnium/) * How technology is an extension of our minds. * How technium (http://www.kk.org/thetechnium/) will self amplify itself and also give us as business leaders will be able to grow ourselves. * How the technology is creating new ways of earning a living, how it is the acceleration of normal evolution of life. * How our institutions have not adjusted to the digital economy and how we need to redefine intellectual property for a networked age. * Should we be able to own ideas in a networked age? * Is society going faster than business models? * How discoveries should belong to the commons. * Will it take 100 years for the true valuation of the effect of technology on economic productivity? * How we are only at the beginning of the networked economy. * How the third revolution has created a new language - is that significant, does that show a new technology frontier? * What should we call this revolution? Digital, networked, knowledge, sharing? * How we mirror nature?
