My wife in Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City:
Just amazing. When I was a kid and living in Brazil, in order to make an international phone call, you had to go to the state telecom's main office, get in a cue, and have your call connected by a government operator. Now, you can be halfway around the world and still be visible to friends. I don't think I'll ever stop being amazed by how much easier global communication is now.

I'm a research director at the Institute for the Future, a think tank in Silicon Valley. I'm also an Associate Fellow at Oxford University's Saïd Business School, and a Senior Research Scholar in the Science Technology and Society program at Stanford University.
At the Institute, I work on the future of science and technology. In my free time I'm working on a book on the end of cyberspace. More details are available in my c.v. (PDF). My first book, Empire and the Sun: Victorian Solar Eclipse Expeditions, was published by Stanford University Press in 2002.
I also keep up-to-date profiles on LinkedIn and Facebook.

Where is this?
Alex, when I was in high school, in a very small town in Missouri, you still cranked the phone and asked the operator for even a local number. Our number, on a party line, was 22F56.
