ALA OITP Advisory Committee Fall Retreat

Today I am in the second day of the annual ALA OITP Advisory Committee Fall Retreat. We have a real treat today in Alan Davidson, Google Director of U.S. Public Policy and Government Affairs. He is talking about all the interesting fronts that google is working on in terms of the future of the Internet.

Google is very interested in how the Internet experience has changed most people will never know a desktop - will only know netbooks and ipods and ebook readers.
