Esther Dyson is ook een weblog gestart: Release 4.0
Who de F is Esther Dyson? Vroeg ik me ook af, omdat ik haar naam wel ergens vaag kende, maar niet precies de vinger aan de pols kreeg. Even Googlen en kablammo:
“Esther Dyson has devoted her life to discovering the inevitable and promoting the possible. As an active investor and commentator, she focuses on emerging technologies and business models (peer-to-peer, artificial intelligence, the Internet, wireless applications), emerging markets (Eastern Europe) and emerging companies (see below). In 1994, she had already explored the impact of the Net on intellectual property (among other things, why Bill Gates now plans to offer software as an online service). In 1997, she wrote a book on the impact of the Net on individuals’ lives, Release 2.0: A design for living in the digital age. She remains an active player in discussions and policy-making concerning the Internet and society. “
