Time Travel.
[
[
[6:38] Tief Schwarz: how are you?
[
[
[
[6:41] Tief Schwarz: It seems that there'll be no internet connection tomorrow at the conference
[
[
[
[
[6:41] Tief
Schwarz: and Thursday’s the big opening day
[6:42] Manetas: Doing an Conference without Internet Connection is traveling to the Past.
[6:42] Tief Schwarz: Yeah, I know. They've been having problems with the Internet here, it seems
[6:42] Manetas: It means you are doing the conference in the time when Internet didn't existed..
[
[6:42] Manetas: That's a choice I suppose and I respect it as such.
[
[
[6:43] Tief Schwarz: I know. It's too bad. The conference would have needed an avatar
[6:43] Manetas: Talking professionally about the Future.
[6:44] Manetas: Living in the Past and Talking professionally about the Future: this is our job.
[6:44] Tief Schwarz: So, as it seems now - nothing more today. Will check with Daniel though
[6:44] Manetas: Thanks God there is Technology so we can blame our "living in the Past " to it..
[6:45] Tief Schwarz: if you hold on a minute i'll try to find him to get exact times for Wed/Thu for you...
[6:45] Manetas: "there was a problem with Technology"
[6:45] Manetas: "there was a problem with computers"
[6:45] Manetas: There is never any problem with Technology.
[6:45] Manetas: There are problems with choices.
[6:46] Manetas: Or even better, there are no problems at all but only choices..
[6:47] Tief Schwarz: i just talked to Daniel.
[
[6:47] Tief
Schwarz: nothing more today
[
[
[
[6:48] Manetas: Will you please read it there for me?
[6:48] Tief Schwarz: you have?
[6:48] Manetas: I will send it to you later today..
[6:48] Tief Schwarz: Ok, do that
[6:48] Tief Schwarz: I'll speak to Daniel and Jan.
[6:48] Manetas: But I want you to exercise your reading it so you will be Miltos.
[
[6:49] Manetas: The public can Blackberry-me questions and I will reply.
[
[6:50] Tief
Schwarz: Don't have a Blackberry unfortunately...
[6:50] Manetas: Someone will have!
[6:50] Manetas: Andreas and Angelo does.
[
[6:50] Tief Schwarz: Anyway - times first, before i forget
[
[6:51] Manetas: You should give a Blackberry to people and they can type their questions and after I reply then you read everything on the public.
[6:52] Manetas: We need to experiment this long distance presence..
[6:52] Tief Schwarz: I'll try to work something out
[6:52] Manetas: So let's be in touch on the time you are reading my text..
[6:52] Tief
Schwarz: And Thursday, the opening is
[6:53] Manetas: And please keep me updated on what is happening there..
[
[6:53] Manetas: I am more interested on the Conference than in the Exhibition...
[6:53] Manetas: I mean I want to participate via Second Life..
[6:53] Manetas: That's the challenge..
[6:54] Tief Schwarz: I'll talk to everybody tonight and try to come up with the best solution possible given the current technical constraints
[6:54] Manetas: Send a mail to journalists with my email so they can ask me stuff they may wanted to ask today..
[6:55] Tief Schwarz: I think a lot of them are staying at least tomorrow
[6:55] Tief
Schwarz: i think you'll get a chance to talk to lots of people.
[6:55] Manetas: Cool: Press is like a huge cat, you need to pet its head to make it relax..
[6:55] Manetas: Then it will go catch some mouse.
[
[6:56] Manetas: If the Press is nervous then it just creates damage..
[6:56] Tief Schwarz: Anyhow, I think we're all going someplace now.
[6:56] Manetas: Ok, cool, have fun.
[6:57] Tief Schwarz: Mail me the text, I'll talk to people, and let's stay in touch throughout tomorrow
