Brian Kelly gave a presentation on new digital technologies and their uses. He discussed concepts like Web 2.0, social media, mobile access, and cloud computing. He acknowledged challenges like sustainability, privacy, and organizational barriers, but argued against overly simplistic or fundamentalist approaches. A balanced, managed approach was needed to harness new technologies while mitigating risks.
