Well no need to wonder any more, Imran just posted it on the site and listening to it again its pretty sobering but theres a light at the end.
I originally said this…
This talk was like no other. Most of the talks were pretty neutral about the web. However Paul literally sucked the air out of the room with his talk about the political mess and security woes the internet has accelerated. Afterwards there was a level of what just happened in the cinema.
Now you can hear/watch and judge for yourselves… but bear in mind this was the last talk after a number of very positive talks about life online
