"The

Platform"
Andrew
Hyder
President
Subjex
corp.
Synopsis:
For
all
the
wonderful
things
technology
has
done
for
mankind
it has
also
added
many
layers
of
complexity.
This
complexity
is
forcing
people
onto
an
increasingly
steep
learning
curve
to use
modern
technology.
Information
Technology’s
goal
is to
make
communication
with
technology
easier
by
basing
it
upon
one of
the
most
common
denominator
among
all
people,
dialog.
People
already
know
how to
converse
with
each
other
and
the
extent
to
which
this
type
of
interaction
can be
used
in
technology
is the
extent
to how
user-friendly
the
technology
can
be. |

“ Some Observations on the History, Trends and Status of the Internet ”
Dr. Patrick Burns
Associate VP for Information & IT
Past Director of the Westnet Regional Network
Colorado State University
Synopsis: The history of the internet, including NSFnet in 1986, its growth and privatization, regional networks, and the early years of the commodity internet will be described. The need for less expensive, higher capacity and higher quality networking, resulting in Internet2, will then be addressed. Current trends in networking include growth, general needs for research, the need for ultrahigh capacity, National Lambda Rail, and regional optical networks, will then be covered. Specific needs emerging in Colorado will then be described. The presentation will proceed with status of advanced public sector networking in Colorado, including the Front Range GigaPoP (the statewide, public sector networking aggregation point), and optical networking in Colorado. An observation that, in Colorado, we are approaching the 2nd generation of the “digital divide” will be explained by an exposition of some barriers to advanced networking. A summary of the status of national and state networking will conclude the presentation. |

"Can
You
Hear
Me
Now"
Smokie
Sizemore
President
and
CEO
Smokie
Sizemore
and
Company,
Inc.
Synopsis:
Internet
and
intranet
are
the
major
communication
modes
in
the
21st
century
office. Replies to interoffice emails can seem to come
from
a
stranger
without
relevance
to
its
subject.
Although
Verizon
made
the
question
"Can
you
hear
me
now?"
popular
in
their
ads,
anyone
in
the
workplace
will
say
that
they
are not
heard.
It’s
no
wonder
that
communication
is
one
of
the
biggest
problems
in
business
and
life. The
effects
of
electronic
communication
is
fertile
ground
for
research,
particularly
where
different
generations
work
together.
With
focus
on
each
person
and
how
their
strengths
and
liabilities
influence
their
own
and
co-workers
communication
styles,
this
workshop
bridges
the
gap
between
what
is
said
and
heard,
creating
a
more
profitable,
productive
and
pleasant
work
environment.
You will take away how to
·
Make
great
teams
·
Give
the
right
information
so
people
"get"
what
you
say
·
Appreciate
your
office
diversity
·
Keep
communication
open
·
Give
exemplary
customer
service |
