A Panel discussion organised by the Computer Society of Sri Lanka focusing on Digital Citizenship, Safety and Hygiene was held on 31st August 2021. The event sponsored by Facebook brought together six panelists including LIRNEasia Chair Prof. Rohan Samarajiva, who shared his expertise.
The retirement of Steve Jobs from active management at Apple has been commented on by many. Paul Saffo’s comment about the reconceptualization of the Internet experience resonates with much that LIRNEasia has been talking about. The other point about not anchoring innovation on how consumers actually live their lives is more problematic. As the NYT says: Mr. Jobs did not so much see around corners; he saw things in plain sight that others did not.
