Web 2.0 Summit

• Mark Zuckerberg stated his version of Moore’s law at this week’s Web 2.0 summit: “The amount of information we disclose about ourselves will, like the number of transistors on a slice of silicon, double every year.”
• Really? I’m already getting Twitter updates every time someone takes a shit.
• Mark’s law sounds good on paper but I doubt this prediction will come true. We’ll hit an information plateau as a society as soon as location-based messaging apps become ubiquitous. Then, not only will I know when one of my friends takes a s—, but thanks to the wonders of GPS and WiF I’ll also know their precise physical location while they are taking a s—. Thanks technology!
• Nicholas Carr got this one right. See his post below.
