Authors at Google: Jamie Oliver

Google and cooking, is that a combination you would expect? Maybe not at first, but if you think again there is a connection. You can find a lot of recipes on Google for starters, but there is more. Google has a history with health, even though Google Health will be terminated in 2012. And lets not forget the cafeteria on the Google Plex. So its not such a strange idea to invite Jamie Oliver to Google and let him talk about cooking, health and more.

Clay Shirky about how technology is changing us from consumers to collaborators

Clay Shirky is a teacher at the Interactive Telecommunications Program at NYU, where he also researches the interrelated effects of our social and technological networks. He is somebody with a firm opinion and somebody who knows about the evolution of search engines and the web in general.

Last year Shirky visited Google as part of the Authors @ Google series. There he talked about how technology is changing us from consumers to collaborators, part of his book “Cognitive Surplus”. Luckily for us Google puts these videos online ;) . Enjoy!
