About The Xmas Lecture

This will be the seventh Cybersalon/NMK Xmas Lecture. The lecture was established in 2001 as an opportunity for leading members of the UK new media industry to talk freely about their work and speculate about how media and communications technologies are interacting and impacting on society, economics, politics and culture. Lectures are attended by a mixture of new media professionals, academics, commentators, journalists and policy makers.
In previous lectures, James Woudhuysen, Professor of Forecasting and Innovation at De Montfort University, Leicester, has talked about the cultural barriers to scientific progress; Eva Pascoe has described her experiences in founding Cyberia, the world’s first Internet Café, and how Internet Cafes have continued to evolve and impact on society; Professor Jonathan Briggs has discussed the role of Internet technologies in helping to rebuild war-torn Kosova; journalist Bill Thompson has wondered if big business is destroying the Internet; and Dr Richard Barbrook has pondered the shape of nets to come.
