Michael H. Goldhaber, presenter
Hi. Welcome to this OLLI course.
About Me
- Michael H. Goldhaber
- I've been interested in and writing on Internet-related issues since well before there was a worldwide web, starting with an attempt to understand what I then termed "micro-electronic networks" and then the "information economy." By the late eighties I had realized that what is scarce is less information than attention, and began to focus on "the attention economy," a term I coined, though others have used it later with a narrower meaning. See "The Attention Economy and the Net" http://www.uic.edu/htbin/cgiwrap/bin/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/519/440 Another long-held interest of mine is human consciousness and how it changes. That led to my 2004 article "The mentality of Homo interneticus: Some Ongian postulates" http://www.uic.edu/htbin/cgiwrap/bin/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/1155/1075 I have a blog http://goldhaber.org and a small consulting business http://mhgoldhaber.com
