On Virginia Woolf and looking fat on Google Video

Today's Meeting of Minds event felt as the closest thing to this Bloomsbury Group fantasy of mine, and it was also the reason why I made my presentation sitting down (like in a salon). It was also because Google Video makes me look fat, and I didn't want to take chances with the video technology Loïc Le Meur is going to use in his video report of today's sessions :-)
Some things I learnt today:

• John Buckman: "Science fiction author Bruce Sterling says the future of the internet will look like a Furby: with smaller and cheaper devices that look complicated but are unable to perform complicated tasks".
• Bob Young: "Copyright was invented to protect English novelist Charles Dickens so he could write his next book without having to worry about his income."
• Sonny Bono started his political career with a mission: to make copyright last as long as possible so his children and grandchildren could make money with his hit I got you babe.
• Loïc Le Meur always manages to stir things up a bit... This time he provoked the anger of Bettina Geysen on the "tv is not supposed to be fake" topic.

I've posted all of my notes on Internet will eat itself on my blog. The idea is to transform it into a fluent text of about 1700 words, so any help, remarks etc is welcome. I wrote the text offline, in notepad, so none of it has any scientific basis. It's just a prediction of what internet will look like in 2020.
