It’s a new age. Every day, millions of people share billions of personal thoughts on Facebook, Twitter, and other social networking sites. But with every new technology, people find more reason to worry about privacy. In this optimistic talk, Jeff Jarvis examines the tension between privacy and publicness that is transforming how we form communities, create identities, do business, and live our lives.
Jeff Jarvis, a professor at the City University of New York, argues for disrupting the university by taking advantage of new ways to teach more skills; finding new efficiencies and economies of scale so we do not continue to bankrupt our children’s future; and rethinking the value of the lecture, the campus, and the diploma.
The disruption that has overtaken media thanks to the internet will come to most industries and institutions. There are lessons to be learned in what media have done wrong. But more importantly, there are also lessons to be had in exploring the opportunities media face to reinvent themselves as services and relationship businesses rather than just content factories. At the Center for Entrepreneurial Journalism (which he directs), Jeff Jarvis researches and advises companies on implementing new business models for news.
Technology has taught us a new way to develop products: in public. When Google releases a beta, it is a statement of humility that says, “This thing isn’t finished, it isn’t perfect, in fact, we’re not sure what it is yet -• so help us make it better.” The beta is an invitation to collaborate with customers. That’s a wise model for more enterprises and activities as Jarvis and his audiences explore the beta company, beta government, beta marriage, and beta life.
Jeff Jarvis is a keynote speaker and industry expert who speaks on a wide range of topics such as What Would Google Do?, Buzzmachine: Media, Technology & Business Intersect, Public Parts: How Sharing in the Digital Age Improves the Way We Work & Live, Disrupting Education, The Future of News and Media-- Yes, They Have One and The Beta Conversation: Invitation to Collaborate.
