Monster Tech Jobs Expert

'The business world -- smart business, anyway -- is definitely more open to people with technical expertise moving into management these days,' says Gene De Libero, CEO of Ambient Media, a company that provides digital signage networks.

MIT OpenCourseWare | Comparative Media Studies | CMS.930 Media, Education, and the Marketplace, Fall 2001 | Video Lectures:

The Next Big Thing: Video Internet
a video lecture by Robert Metcalfe

Have you heard of MIT's OpenCourseWare project? This video lecture by Bob Metcalfe (say Ethernet!) about the convergence of the Internet and Video is very topical... even 4 years after his original lecture to MIT students. You might enjoy watching it. You could perhaps download it to your video iPod?

See you Monday!
