The Lyles Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship at California State University, Fresno will present the New Valley InForum “Innovative Topics for Innovative Thinkers” on May 26 in the Satellite Student Union.
Featured speaker will be Howard Rheingold, one of the world’s gurus of cyberspace and digital culture. An author, journalist, and editor, he is also a visionary, a futurist, and a synthesizer of today’s ever changing telecommunications applications.
Rheingold was the founding executive editor of HotWired, the successful commercial webzine launched by Wired magazine in 1994. He was also the author of the weekly multimedia newspaper column, “Tomorrow,” which was distributed to dozens of newspapers across the country.
Rheingold, who foretold of the Internet and virtual communities, will take attendees on a journey around the world for a preview of the next techno-cultural shift. He will remind the audience that the real impact of mobile communications will come not from the technology itself but from how people use it, resist it and adapt to it,
