During the first NetSquared Conference (N2Y1), technology futurist, Paul Saffo, spoke with Lucy Bernholz and Howard Rheingold about "disruptive technologies" that cause significant changes in the way that individuals live, businesses operate, or society behaves during a session entitled, "Making the Most of Disruption." (Watch it on FORA.tv. Listen to it on the NetSquared Podcast).

Last week, Saffo's article, Obama's 'Cybergenic' Edge appeared on abcnews.com. It talks about how successful candidates need to not only be "mediagenic," but also "cybergenic."
