Innovation & Technology in Education
Author
Steven Johnson's writings have influenced everything from the way political campaigns use the Internet, to cutting-edge ideas in urban planning, to the battle against 21st-century terrorism. His newest book is titled Where Good Ideas Come From: The Natural History of Innovation. He has also co-created three influential web sites: the pioneering online magazine FEED, the Webby-Award-winning community site, Plastic.com, and the media site outside.in, recently acquired by AOL. Both social critic and technologist, Johnson has a genius for mapping the future—for predicting and explaining the real-world impact of cutting-edge developments in science, technology and media. He is a contributing editor to Wired magazine and lectures widely on technological, scientific, and cultural issues. Johnson recently won the Newhouse School fourth annual Mirror Awards for his TIME magazine cover article titled "How Twitter Will Change the Way We Live". He has also written for The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal and appeared on such television programs as The Charlie Rose Show and The Daily Show.
