Devaluing human nature

I came across a report of a recent conference that raises more concerns… here’s the nuts-and-bolts of it:

The Conference, as mentioned, was held on the 22nd and 23rd of October (a couple of weeks ago). I’m not sure how long the video will stay online (it’s a nuisance in any case, as it’s flash-based – Adobe really needs to either rewrite it or drop it… and can only agree with Apple’s view of the programme, and for once it was great to see a major company reflect the views of all too many users).
