Fred Wilson, a venture capitalist, gave a talk at Le Web that touches on health, but even better, provides a framework for thinking about how technology is transforming the world in general: Pew Research has data to back up each of his points on mobile, video, dating, social networking, news gathering, education, our networked lives in general, […]

Do you like them here or there? A page from Green Eggs and Ham by Dr Seuss
