In Marketplace
I'm interviewed by Cyrus Farivar on NPR's Marketplace today. We talk about how "Predicting the Future is Tricky for Business." Vint Cerf and Esther Dyson are also interviewed.
Incredibly, I don't sound like a total idiot.

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.

Sounds great!

Don't you try to tell me what I can and can't predict!

That was a good interview. I liked the Moms and the texting kids.
Didn't 9-11 set off mushroom growth in cell phones? Suddenly everyone in the family had to be connected 24/7.
