What Happens Next In Technology?
from the ask-the-bigshots dept
The NY Times went and spoke with some big names in technology to ask them how the terorrist attacks will affect technology going forward. Not surprisingly, the discussion seems to drift towards surveillance and civil liberties. An interesting read. Of course, I was kinda hoping someone would say they'd been working on something really cool like a machine that would automatically identify terrorists before they did something bad, or a time machine that would let us go back and redo September 11 with the knowledge we have in its aftermath. Oh well. Not yet, I guess.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
