Video interview with Zittrain featured at IdeasProject.com, Nokia's new website, which provides innovative ways to interact with thought leaders and their "big ideas" about the future of communications
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) March 2, 2009 -- Renowned Cyber law scholar Jonathan Zittrain talks about how ubiquitous human computing, which he describes as the ability to treat the human mind as a fungible resource, has enabled companies to attack any number of problems by throwing more minds at them the way they might throw servers at a website traffic problem.
A video interview with Zittrain about ubiquitous human computing is featured on IdeasProject, a unique website developed by Nokia. IdeasProject is an online space that provides a new way to interact with thought leaders and their big ideas about the future of connected communications.

"I'm interested in the ability to start treating the human mind as a fungible resource like lumber or computer cycles," said Zittrain. "For example, if you have a firm that has a problem, as the problem scales, you can add more human mind to attack it."
"Ubiquitous computing means network connectivity everywhere, linking devices and systems," said Valerie Buckingham, director of technology marketing, Nokia. "Zittrain's idea explores the theme of what could happen when people are so readily networked. The IdeasProject is about human connectivity, and we're honored by our charter contributors like Zittrain. We're looking forward to his ongoing contribution of big ideas in the coming months ahead."
For the next three months, visitors to IdeasProject.com have the opportunity to submit their own Big Idea. Editors will be regularly highlighting their favorite ideas, and sending a Nokia N95 to the Big Thinker who was selected. The website will also be featuring favorite visitor-contributed Big Ideas along with the ideas of other IdeasProject.com contributors.
