Must hear – The Triumph of Technology
Just caught the latest of Reith 2005 lectures on Radio 4 delivered by Lord Broers, fantastic stuff looking at the impact of Technology on society and how innovation takes place. You can listen on line at www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/reith2005/ and for a week after each lecture download to podcast.
Makes you proud of the BBC !!

With todays purchase of Macromedia by Adobe – what is the future for SVG. For me Adobes support of SVG was a lifelife to lukewarm support from the rest of the industry which supported flash as a platform for developing interactive graphic applications. SVG offers potentially much more than flash for developing data driven applications – but the battleground between the technologies was always going to be on the webpage – and is seems that battle may now be lost.
I cannot see Adobe supporting both SVG and the SVG plugin along with developing flash which must be the main reason to acquire Macromedia.
