I second Guy Hermann's recent recommendation that list members look into the upcoming conference, "Technology and the Rest of Culture: Then and Now" at the New School for Social Research in New York. Guy may be unaware that there is, in fact, a web site for the conference: <http://www.newschool.edu/whatsnew/techculture.htm> As part of the conference, the Getty Information Institute will also be launching a complementary web site on cultural heritage information technology and policy next week; it will be linked from the Institute's home page at <http://www.gii.getty.edu>.

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.

In fact, the Sea does connect many things, but the Web connects everything else.
