| Nicholas Negroponte: From 1984, 4 predictions about the fut |
 |
http://www.ted.com Speaking at the first TED
Conference in 1984, Nicholas Negroponte waxes
prophetic on the converging fields of
technology, entertainment and design. Years
before anyone was using the word
"convergence," Negroponte was thinking about

education. In excerpts from his 2-hour talk
(this was before TED's 18-minute time limit),
he foreshadowed CD-ROMs, web interfaces,
service kiosks, the touchscreen interface of
the iPhone, and his own One Laptop per Child
project. Oh, and there's also a fascinating
project called Lip Service, which, well,
let's just say it's still ahead of us ...
