Web 2.0 Summit: Al Gore Receives Standing Ovations
[Web 2.0 Summit] The closing session was a speech and a conversation with former U.S. Vice President Al Gore. The audience gave him a standing ovation at the beginning and at the end, he opened his speech by saying “Some week”… thereupon he stated that the election could not happen without the worldwide web and the fund raising dimension was only a part of it. He gave an example of a political meeting in an empty warehouse where participants had only printers and World Wide Web enabled cell phones to gather relevant info.
He uses the electricity analogy to compare to the Internet’s innovation curve. In the future, we will take the Web 2.0 features for
granted just like we did for the electricity. The full potential for great productivity of innovations related to electricity did not happen overnight and so it is for the Web, for example, soon there will be a new design for that empty warehouse where folks gathered with their cell phones: it worth looking at the advantages of redesigning and re-architecturing within which the activity takes place: World 2.0.
