Introducing the Connective - Part 1 of 7 (Overview)

On February 23rd, 1999, I delivered this presentation to a roomful of of technologists attending Internet World in Tel-Aviv, Israel. The presentation defines something called the Connective. The concept defined back then forms the basis for the contents of my blog of the same name @ http://theconnective.org. Upon rediscovering the original presentation, I came to the stark realization that I didnt really drink my own kool aid all those years ago. I was preaching this stuff, but did I widely post the presentation on a site or blog? Did I invite feedback and dialog from peers? No, I just let it sit on my drive. Posting this presentation on YouTube is part of a larger attempt to remedy that. I hope you enjoy it.
