Lift Asia videos are here

Bruce Sterling’s speech is the first to go online. He talks about how the poor are moving to cities, using mobile technologies (”there is no such thing as a mobile phone divide!”) to access services like payment. His talk - and especially the part where he advices South Koreans to prepare for an influx of poverty once the Northern regime collapses - has moved a large part of the audience, leaving a strange silence in the room as we came out for the break.

The videos will be added to the Lift talks page, but you can already find a few more by cheating on Google Video ;)
