DESCRIPTION:This is a weekly session of the CIT Summer Series\, with David 
 Alan Grier presenting The Generations of Computing and the Coming Data Age
  :\n\nIf you look carefully at the development of computing\, you can see 
 clear generational cycles. These cycles are marked by a sharp change of te
 chnology and a group of young leaders taking advantage of those changes. T
 here is clearly a period of 20 years in which these leaders rise to promin
 ence in the field before passing command to the next generation. We can po
 int to the mainframe generation of the Fifties\, the Software/PC Generatio
 n of the 70s\, the Internet/Mobile Generation of the 90s. We are clearly n
 earing the end of the 90s cycle and need to start asking what follows and 
 who will be the next generation. This talk considers the extent to which d
 ata will be the next driving technology and the extent to which we are alr
 eady shifting towards the data generation of leaders.\n\nSpeaker(s): David

X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>This is a weekly session of the CIT Summer
  Series\, with David Alan Grier presenting <strong>The Generations of Comp
 uting and the Coming Data Age</strong>&nbsp\;:</p>\n<p>If you look careful
 ly at the development of computing\, you can see clear generational cycles
 . These cycles are marked by a sharp change of technology and a group of y
 oung leaders taking advantage of those changes. There is clearly a period 
 of 20 years in which these leaders rise to prominence in the field before 
 passing command to the next generation. We can point to the mainframe gene
 ration of the Fifties\, the Software/PC Generation of the 70s\, the Intern
 et/Mobile Generation of the 90s. We are clearly nearing the end of the 90s
  cycle and need to start asking what follows and who will be the next gene
 ration. This talk considers the extent to which data will be the next driv
 ing technology and the extent to which we are already shifting towards the
  data generation of leaders.</p>
