It’s a truism that hardly bears repeating that technology and the infinite choices it has fostered have turned the old one-to-many communications model on its head.

Originally posted on The Huffington Post. I don’t need to tell you that the world has seen its share of change lately. We used to embrace change and make it happen (which entails pretty much everything before Sept. 11, 2001). Then we watched it from the sidelines (the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, the various financial crises), [...]  Comments: Leave a comment May 20, 2010, 8:18 pm
Originally posted on The Huffington Post. Look at the American political landscape today and you might begin to get the sinking feeling that the red state/blue state dichotomy is, on the one hand, just a bit of political show and, on the other, a pitiable piece of naiveté. We have to admit that if we want [...] Comments: Leave a comment May 12, 2010, 7:59 pm

There’s no bigger question in the world of the social Web than what’s going on with privacy. Is it over? Can it be saved? Is it worth fighting for? Facebook made headlines around the world a few months ago when it changed (weakened) its privacy protections and founder Mark Zuckerberg said the age of privacy is [...] Comments: Leave a comment March 23, 2010, 1:54 pm
Originally posted on eurorscgpr.com/blog. If you google “teenage rebellion,” you get a gazillion sites that explain how to cope with, prevent or quash it. You even get advice about how to medicate it—a couple of years ago, bloggers began talking about “oppositional defiant disorder,” though most of the response to that diagnosis was highly critical.

Originally posted on eurorscgpr.com/blog. All the news this past month about moving the trial of 9/11 mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed out of downtown Manhattan has gotten me thinking about the many ways Sept. 11 has become a marker. We divide life into before and after, use the event as a way of judging the world and [...] Comments: Leave a comment February 13, 2010, 8:30 pm
Originally posted on The Huffington Post. There were so many high points of this week’s One Young World summit, which brought nearly 1,000 young people from around the world together in London to address the most challenging issues facing the world today. But if I were asked for one that really stands out, I would say [...] Comments: Leave a comment February 11, 2010, 8:38 pm
