Author: Artur Schmidt
This year's EDGE.org event at DLD will be a discussion featuring Frank Schirrmacher of FAZ, and his counterpart in Munich, Andrian Kreye, Feuilleton editor of Sueddeutsche Zeitung. (Interestingly, they've never met). This discussion is, entitled "Informavore", moderatedy by John Brockman. Also joining this panel: Computer science visionary David Gelernter, who, in his 1991 book "Mirror Words" invented what's now called "cloud computing".

Recently, EDGE ran a major online event: THE AGE OF THE INFORMAVORE: A Talk with Frank Schirrmacher, which led to a very vibrant discussion online.
And in April there was "LORD OF THE CLOUD": John Markoff and Clay Shirky talk to David Gelernter".
And here's the piece that EDGE and FAZ published about 10 years ago, "The Second Coming a Mnaifesto" by David Gelernter, still the hottest event ever on EDGE.
Finally, Edge.org just pubished the Edge Annual Question, "How Is The Internet Changing the Way You Think?", to wide media attention, it pushes the envelope in addressing similar issues.
