The Impact of Web 2.0 - at Davos

January 31st, 2007 link to (permalink)

The World Economic Forum at Davos is where presidents of countries and global corporations meet. It is the conference to end all conferences, and whenever there is a technology bubble, Davos organizers quickly jump on the bandwaggon and invite a bunch of bewildered nerds to explain the ‘Internets’ to them. The end result is absolutely fucking hilarious, in a very understated way.

This year, alongside Global Warming and WWIII, with a straight face, Davos attendees examined the ‘Impact of Web 2.0′. They did not suggest that the impact relative to the aforementioned topics is that of a mosquito farting on the moon.

    “…a bunch of bewildered nerds”?

    I sense a little hostility.

    Permission to talk about ANYTHING at all, Sir.
