Laptop back on! @thinkingdigital - David Siegel now on stage at #TDC10
Writing began 12,000 years ago.
Hoping that the UK Govt's decision to cut funding for the semantic web in Southampton/Oxford doesn't ruin Siegal's claims here #tdc10
David Siegel - @pullnews - reckons we're facing an explosion in information over the next 10 years; sensors, processes, people, more #tdc10

David Siegel: By 2020 we will have 50bn connected devices worldwide #tdc10
Crazy. "By 2020 there will be 50 billion devices connected to one another" - David Siegel. #TDC10
David Siegel at #tdc10: we globally store 20 exabytes of info, but it's the wrong kind.
Anticipating speech on Semantic web. Can he explain The importance of this to a lay audience? Yes, he's off to à good start... #tdc10
We have invested trillions of dollars in reinventing stuff digitally that we have had since the 19th century.
We've digitised 500 exabytes of information.. that is 500,000,000,000,000,000,000 - wow that's quite a lot!! David Siegel speaking at #TDC10
David Siegel talking about how we need to pull instead of push data (outdated digitization of 19th century tech) #TDC10
interesting to see that WolframAlpha CAN tell you the temperature in Venice #TDC10

A digital tower of babble.. We need to stop pushing and start pulling ( David Siegel - #tdc10)

"We have created a digital Tower of Babel. Today, information is stored in hundreds of formats and languages" - David Siegel. #TDC10
David Siegel - @pullnews - says "Pull is the opposite of Push." Deep, but true... ;-) #tdc10

#tdc10 is there a massage queue in the livecast lounge? I really want one!
#tdc10 where can I buy a cheap screen so I can use my personal data logger?
#TDC10 Dumb phones are the future - mine is pretty dumb already - doesn't work in the Sage!
I disagree with the notion that dumb phones are smarter than smartphones. smartphone + cloud makes dumb phone irrelevant #tdc10
David Siegel talks passionately about the return of "dumb phones" which get everything from the cloud. #TDC10
David Siegal. Move from smart phone to dumb phones - but we are in love with the iphone? #tdc10
when you hear the word 'semantic' in relation to the web substitue it for 'unambiguous' - David Siegel #TDC10
Using the example of Wolphram Alpha - my brother would love this (David Siegel - #tdc10)
The more info we store, the dumber our devices need to be. @pullnews predicts the rise of the 'dumb phone' in 5yrs. #tdc10
Siegel's vision of the semantic web is revolutionary but requires ubiquitous Internet access. Wonder how likely that is since #DEact? #tdc10
.@PullNews suggests 'Semantic Web' is about 'unambiguous information.' #tdc10 see my podcast with David for more -

Wofram Alpha is Answer Engine , Bing is a Decision Engine...whatever happened to just nice, simple search engines...#tdc10
#TDC10 Just tried woolram alpha with the question "what is the meaning of life" and I got the right answer!
"Whenever you hear 'semantic' think 'unambiguous'" says Siegel at the business 3.0 session at #tdc10
