I digress

Find here the text of Tim O'Reilly's commencement speech for the UC Berkeley School of Information. He talks about Web 2.0 - the significant opportunity that it presents as well as the dark side of the technology:

I urge you to think hard about the consequences of new technology. Don't just take for granted that technology will bring us a better world. We must engage strenuously with the future, thinking through the dark side of each opportunity, and working to maximize the good that we create while minimizing the harm.

The speech appositely informs and inspires.

Hear hear.
