Interview with Bill Davidow

Bill Davidow

I recently interviewed Bill Davidow, author of the recent book "Overconnected: The promise and threat of the Internet", for Future Talk. He claims that the constantly accelerating speed with which data moves through the Internet has a destabilizing effect on society, especially in financial markets, and that catastrophic consequences are likely if the problem isn't addressed. Bill is a former senior VP at Intel and co-founder of the Mohr-Davidow venture capital firm, and sits on the Board of Trustees of Caltech and UCSF Medical Center. The program can be seen in its entirety at futuretalk.blip.tv or divided into three shorter segments at www.futuretalk.net/ft28.html.
