It’s a crisp fall day outside but dozens of media and tech execs are clustered in a Googleplex auditorium at the UC-Berkeley Media Technology Summit trying to learn from the past, get through the present and change the future.

They’re in the news, information, knowledge, and connection business.” No live video or audio but we’ve embedded the video of his prepared presentation below; the text is here.
