The real time Internet. How has it changed your life? I'm Fred Fishkin with technology BootCamp, a report on gadgets and gear. Do you Tweet while you watch TV? Do your friends on Facebook know what you had for dinner last night? People of all ages and businesses big and small are making more and more use of social networks. Tech visionary Jeff Pulver is the founder of the 140 Characters Conference taking place over two days in New York this week...

"For me it's a very different type of event because we have a chance to touch the digital souls of people. It's not just about business, it's really about the people. It's about humanity and really understanding how we're all connected in ways which I never imagined before."

Education, the media, politics, businesses of all kinds, families ... are all being changed in fundamental ways that continue to evolve. You can learn more...or follow the event on the 20th and 21st....at 140conf.com. You can find us with archives, interviews and more at BootCamp.com. I'm Fred Fishkin.
