A Not So Virtual Presentation

In the world that exists beyond this great vast web i'm enshrined in there is another place, one where people have physical form and here is where something unusual occurred. In place of a standard lecture discussion a visitor had arrived, is name, Erik Hamburg. Erik presented concepts to the class with a presentation, although the presentation had a lack of a second screen of one side of the class he was still able to harness our gazes and lead us down his awesome past. But before he told us of his past he taught us a valuable lesson in entrepreneurship and that is to be open to the concepts of technology and think abut how they might be adapted for other purposes than the ones they were created for. Looking at the results of Bill Gates, and the betrayer, Steve Jobs. He then continued his talk about himself as though blogging in real life. It was quite interesting though it have to say, he has done many things in regards to the internet and trying new business models online, with his TheHoratio, Exit133, Suite 133,and SidexSide. It is kind f crazy to think that he has had so much experience with developing jobs and opportunities for himself, and those opportunities have lead to much more and he now even has a considerable passive income. His take away from this presentation seamed to be the "Cave and Stream" model, where you need to balance production of whatever you are doing in a blank environment, and the flow of information. He also spoke of the downsides of living in a virtual world, the biggest issue being privacy. I have to say his presentation was quite informative and might have changed how i think about things for a bit. However the biggest thing in enjoyed from his presentation was the asides where we spoke of things I had no knowledge of like CoWorking Space, Incubators, and Accelerators. This Gnome has quite a bit to think about and will get back to you after this short commercial break.
