And Now For a Little Pessimism
The Reinventing Media session at Techonomy this morning had a somewhat different tone than many of the others here: It was tinged with sadness. There is a lot of hurt in the media world today, a lot of pain. And…the Internet did it. The traditional print media industry has been... Continue reading

They're not "beliefs" about global warming. I've reported for many years on the science and am thoroughly aware of scientists' state of understanding and their confidence in their conclusions. Humans are causing global warming through greenhouse gas emissions and it is happening now. That's not a belief--it's a report on the state of scientific understanding.

A Science Wonk Covers Tech
This is my first post on the Techonomy blog, so I mainly want to introduce myself. I’m Chris Mooney, a blogger for Discover and author of several books about the relationship between science and politics, and how things sometimes go dramatically splat in this area. So I may seem, in some ways, ...
Great post...influenced my next one on this same session and report. I'm new to this topic and you sliced through it amazingly well (and saved me from posting a three cheers for Tunisia)
Global Tech Metrics Changing Due to Digital & Social Media
The future of the World Economic Forum's influential Global Information Technology Report is the subject of the first session at the Techonomy conference today. A nine-year old in-depth report about how well various countries around the world are prepared in terms of Information and Communicati...
