LASER Special Seminar
Close the Millennium with a visionary look into the Year 2000 and
beyond.
Professor Peter Cochrane is the Chief Technologist at British Telecom,
an international writer, broadcaster, educator, and consultant to a
broad range of international companies. He is often referred to as the
UK's most holistic and unusual thinker who lives the future rather than
trying to predict it. Peter is involved with Artificial Life and
Intelligence, Visualisation, Humanised Interfaces, as well as the raw
technologies of fixed and mobile networks. Peter has been employed as
a major agent of change by BT across a broad front of technology,
management, operational and working practices. He is also the only
senior manager in BT with a skateboard!
Peter is a highly respected visionary speaker on the Superhighway,
Information Society and a host of other vitally relevant matters in
today's technological world. His recent publications, comments and
interest areas cover topics such as 'dark fibre' - a transparent
Superhighway (an information hosepipe).
The IT world is, as well as going more global, becoming narrower - i.e.
a growing connection between telephone companies and network providers.
Peter has agreed to talk to us about all the above and his view on the
wider educational world, NGfl, Peoples Library etc. He is a dynamic,
visionary speaker who will make you think. He is also hard to pin
down, travelling some 300,000 miles per year - so take the opportunity
now.
So join him at One Great George Street, Westminster SW1P 3AA on
Thursday 9th December 1999, 3.30-5.30 pm.
