WikiSym Keynote by Jonathan Grudin: "Living Without Parental Controls"

Abstract: This is by far the most interesting, dynamic period in the quarter century I've worked on collaboration technologies, and there is every reason to believe the pace will pick up. We can ignore history without being doomed to repeat it, because there is no going back. But there have been trends that suggest what we might watch out for. Ignoring the admonition that "he who lives by the crystal ball soon learns to eat ground glass," I'll describe observations, research, and product innovation that suggest opportunities and challenges swirling toward and around us. Central to the changes is the generation growing up with wikis, weblogs, tagging, map mashups, messaging, multiplayer games, and other social software.
