Program for the Future: CoLABoration 2010

- Rob Stephenson

Rob Stephenson describes the conference sponsored by Program for the Future and The Tech Museum. Years ago, Doug Engelbart saw that our problems were growing faster than our ability to solve them. He had the vision of using technology to augment our collective intelligence, so as to work better together, make better decisions together and solve the wicked problems together. The Tech Museum and Program for the Future are carrying this vision forward with a design challenge and conference on collaboration on Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010.
