The closing day of the conference featured a fantastic plenary discussion entitled emerging issues. A full transcript of this far-reaching discussion is available. The highlight of the conference came with an impassioned speech by Andrew Keen, author of The Cult of the Amateur: How Today's Internet CultureIs Killing Our Culture, which Vint Cerf, Google's Chief Internet Evangelist, so eloquently described as "crap." Keen controversially suggested that Web users should have to identify themselves online in order to improve the accountability and quality of user generated content.
The audience was none to impressed with privacy advocates crying foul. I certainly do give keen credit for generating an interesting debate.
