“Is it a fact—or have I dreamt it—that, by means of electricity, the world of matter has become a great nerve, vibrating thousands of miles in a breathless point of time? Rather, the round globe is a vast head, a brain instinct with intelligence! Or shall we say it is itself a thought, nothing but thought, and no longer the substance which we deemed it!”
- Nathanial Hawthorne 1851

Our experience of the internet is accelerating at a rapid pace. The “stream” of emails, web hits, ad impressions, multi-media narratives and range of devices is a challenge for most of us to manage. In the next decade, it will be essential to filter this stream and channel areas of interest. This can be easily done through “tagging” internet content with key words. Register today.

Tag It! takes on the “how” tagging pictures, video, listings, blog posts, group book marks, twitter and facebook updates creates a community brain trust larger than we ever imagined.

CCTV’s Media Mavens are free for Members and $10 for the General Public. Lunch is available to all for $5 if you RSVP! To qualify for CCTV Member Rates, go to www.cctv.org/join
