Pierre Lévy (P.L.) is a renowned theorist and media scholar. His ideas on collective intelligence have been essential for the comprehension of some phenomena of contemporary communication, and his research on Information Economy Meta Language (IEML) is today one of the biggest promises of data processing and of knowledge management. In this interview conducted by the team of the “Comunicación” (C.M.) magazine, he explained to us some of the basic points of his theory, and gave us an interesting reading on current topics related to communication and digital media. Nelesi Rodríguez, April 2014.
Simon Phipps has engaged at a strategic level in the world’s leading technology companies, starting in roles such as field engineer, programmer, systems analyst and more recently taking executive leadership roles around open source.

He rubs elbows with kings and presidents, has more frequent flyer miles in a year than most people accrue in a lifetime, but what really keeps him going are the power of ideas. Don Tapscott is one of the world’s leading authorities on innovation, media, and the economic and social impact of technology and advises business and government leaders around the world. In 2011, Don was named one of the world’s most influential management thinkers by Thinkers50. He has authored or co-authored 14 widely read books including the 1992 best seller Paradigm Shift. His 1995 hit, The Digital Economy changed thinking around the world about the transformational nature of the Internet and two years later he defined the Net Generation and the “digital divide” in Growing Up Digital. His 2000 work, Digital Capital, introduced seminal ideas like “the business web” and was described by BusinessWeek as “pure enlightenment.” Wikinomics: How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything was the best selling management book in 2007 and translated into over 25 languages. The Economist called his newest work Macrowikinomics: New Solutions for a Connected Planet a “Schumpeter-ian story of creative destruction” and the Huffington Post said the book is “nothing less than a game plan to fix a broken world.” Over 30 years he has introduced many groundbreaking concepts that are part of contemporary understanding. His work continues as CEO of The Tapscott Group, a member of World Economic Forum, Chancellor of Trent University, Adjunct Professor of Management for the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto and Martin Prosperity Institute Fellow. In this EdTech Digest exclusive, Don takes us through the changes of the last two decades since the publication of his seminal work Paradigm Shift, discusses knowledge with a twist, answers the question will there be third book after Growing Up Digital and Grown Up Digital, tells us which generation in particular he is currently super-interested in and why, thoughts on what will happen to higher education after the impact of the digital revolution is fully felt, and what we should seize upon now for a better tomorrow.

"On my trip to Thailand in August I had the pleasure to meet Michel Bauwens, founder of the P2P Foundation and interviewed him about Peer-to-Peer Economy.

Today a summit starts in Quito, Ecuador that will discuss ways in which the country can transform itself into an open commons-based knowledge society. The team that put together the proposals is led by Michel Bauwens from the Foundation for Peer-to-Peer Alternatives. What is the background to this plan, and how likely is it that it will bear fruit? With the hope of finding out I spoke recently to Bauwens.

DG Yes, this is the issue that seemed to speak to people the most when I was, for the last couple of months, talking about my debt book in New York. Basically every single person I talked to who is between the ages of 18 and 30 or 25 brought up student loan issues as being why don’t you organise something around that; something must be done. It seems to have really, profoundly affected the perspectives of an entire generation. I was hearing all these really dramatic stories; there’s one woman I talked to who works at a radical book store and trained to, she has a PhD, she was a literature student, always assumed she would be a professor. As it turns out she’s now working as an escort to pay off her student loan debt. It’s had an enormous affect on people’s lives
