I’ve been up to my eyeballs this past few weeks in stuff, and haven’t had as much time as usual to post here. So this weekend I thought I would take the easy route and post a couple of videos from the recent Symposium on Risk, Uncertainty and Sustainable Innovation.
These were back to back panel discussions that were designed to set the scene for the symposium by helping to distinguish technology reality from technology hype. They make interesting viewing, as well as providing what I thought was a rather interesting take on significant areas of technology innovation – especially the second panel.
The full set of symposium videos can be viewed here.
Enjoy
