At Rackspace, I'm building a media house which will celebrate small teams who are having world-wide impacts through their building or use of new technology.

Civic participants don't aim to make life better merely for members of the group. They want to improve even the lives of people who never participate...

Sharing thoughts and expressions and even actions with others, possibly many others, is becoming a normal opportunity, not just for professionals and experts but for anyone who wants it. This opportunity can work on scales and over duration that were previously unimaginable. Unlike personal or communal value, public value requires not just new opportunities for old motivations; it requires governance, which is to say ways of discouraging or preventing people from wrecking either the process or the product of the group.

New technology is not good or evil in and of itself. It's all about how people choose to use it.

With the advent of wearable technology, companies will soon be able to better provide ads to customers based on their real-time activity.

It is the framework which changes with each new technology and not just the picture within the frame.
