The Atlas of Ideas
Next places, next people, next science
The Atlas of Ideas was a three year programme at Demos, which explored changes in the global geography of science and innovation. Between 2005 and 2008, it published studies of China, India, South Korea and Brazil.
The broadband culture
at 12:00am on Friday, 16th June 2006I recently del.icio.us-ed this Business week article on Why the future is South Korea, and today this O'Reilly post has pointed to a number of discussions around it - from how Korean broadband was implemented to cultures of social networking.
Apparently, the US could have followed the Korean model, with phone companies using higher rates to invest in fiber optic, but they didn't (the story is quite scandalous if it's true) - instead states are underdelivering on their promises of connectivity. What difference will all this bandwidth really make? We shall see...
See my last post on CyWorld for more on social networking in Korea.
