I haven't seen notice of the imminent "Technology and the Rest of Culture"
conference in NYC on any of these lists, but it strikes me as something
many of you would be interested in.  Pardon the cross postings.

Topics include: How have technological innovations changed the ways in
which we know, learn, and communicate? What are the likely cultural and
social consequences of the major advances in communications technology?
....

Speakers include Robert Adams, Leo Marx, Langdon Winner, Arno Penzias, Alan
Trachtenberg, Marvin Minsky, etc.

There does not appear to be a web site.

Dates: Jan 16-18
Location: 66 West 12th Street, NYC
Info:  212-570-39885
Cost: only $35
Sponsored by the New School for Social Research.
