            the oft-repeated phrases on <EM>Edge </EM>is "New Technologies=New
            Perceptions". As we create tools we recreate ourselves. In the
            digital information age, we have moved from thinking about silicon,
            transistors, and microprocessors, to redefining, to the edge of creating
            life itself. As we have seen in recent editions of <EM>Edge</EM> — <A href="http://www.edge.org/documents/life/life_index.html" linkindex="9">"Life:
            What A Concept!"</A> (Freeman Dyson, Craig Venter, George Church,
            Robert Shapiro, Dimitar Sasselov, Seth Lloyd) at Eastover Farm in
            August, <A href="http://www.edge.org/documents/dawkins_venter_index.html" linkindex="10">"Life:
            A Gene-Centric View"</A> (Richard Dawkins and Craig Venter)
            in Munich in January; <A href="http://www.edge.org/3rd_culture/endy08/endy08_index.html" linkindex="11">"Engineering
            Biology"</A> (Drew Endy) in our most recent edition — we
            are redefining who and what we are.</FONT></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.edge.org/documents/archive/edge238.html">Such scientific
            explorations are not limited to biology. Recently, Harvard professor
            and sociologist Nicholas Christakis has shown that there's more to
            think about regarding social networks such as Facebook, MySpace,
            Flickr, and Twitter than considerations of advertising and revenue
            models.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/0B52DC7D-8EFF-4F79-97AF-8ABD6B1B53DB/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
