From Wall Street Journal's CIO Journal:
History can be a useful guide to the future, especially when trying to predict the
impact of disruptive changes on human organizations and cultures. I was reminded
of this dictum when recently attending a very interesting workshop at the University
of California, Irvine - Payment Technologies: Past Present and Future. The workshop
was sponsored by the Intel Science and Technology Center for Social Computing and
hosted by the Institute for Money, Technology and Financial Inclusion (IMTFI). IMTFI
was established in 2008 “to support research on money and technology among the world's
poorest people...[and] to create a community of practice and inquiry into the everyday
uses and meanings of money, as well as the technological infrastructures being developed
as carriers of mainstream and alternative currencies worldwide.” It is part of UC
Irvine’s School of Social Sciences.
