/*Technology and Biological Evolution: What This Means for Media and 
Communications Technologies*/

Date: Wednesday, October 28
Time: 11:25 - 11:40 AM

What if our efforts of developing communications technology followed a 
hidden script written by evolution?  New thinking suggests that that 
might just be the case.  Coming out of a PhD research project looking at 
networked forms of media, specifically p2p networks, this talk looks at 
the research findings which show a strong correlation between the cycles 
of technology development and evolutionary theory we normally associate 
with biology.  This talk looks at how generational changes in technology 
development fall into patterns akin to natural selection and then 
expands this point to help us to understand how the process of change 
impacts on the whole process of technology.  What impacts will that have 
for future development of communications technology?
