    2020 Innovation Report THE CONVERGENCE OF INNOVATION, TECHNOLOGY & HIGHER EDUCATION Innovation Report Innovation Mike Grandinetti, Program Development Fellow UC 2020 Berkeley Sutardja Center & Faculty, Engineering Leadership Professional Program & Faculty, Harvard University Management Division & Faculty, Brown University School of Professional Studies I’ve spent the last 25+ years working at this extraordinary point of convergence as a Professor, faculty member & mentor at some of the world’s most prestigious educational institutions, in addition to my simultaneous roles as a serial tech entrepreneur, innovation consultant, hackathon leader, startup mentor and board member. The changes that have occurred in the way in which innovation is taught, starting in 2007, has been profound. 2007 is an especially important year and inflection point for innovation based on two critical events. The launch of Apple’s iPhone democratized technology, while the sub-prime mortgage and banking financial crisis spiraled us into the “great recession.” This created long-terms impacts on innovation as we know it. An Infusion of Brainpower For starters, many of the best and brightest, long drawn to the highly paid areas of investment banking and management consulting, started to shift their focus to high tech and innovation- related positions at this key historical inflection point. As a result, it unleashed a massive infusion of brainpower into these professions that continues to exist to this day. Educational & Tech Accelerators In addition, as the great recession caused significant layoffs from large corporations, a wave of tech startup accelerators, inspired by pioneers Y-Combinator & Techstars, began to democratize how best practices of innovation were taught, just as an increasing number of recently graduated students and corporate “expats” decided to take control of their own professional destiny.

Review Essay Philippic.corn REPUBLIC.COM By Cass Sunstein Princeton, New Jersey: Princeton University Press, 2001. Pp. 224. $19.95 cloth. Reviewed by Dan Hunterf A recent trend in so-called "second generation" legal commentary about the Internet suggests that, though it is an unparalleledcommunica- tion medium and a means of engaging in global e-commerce, it is not an unmitigatedforce for good. Instead,the Net poses afundamental danger to democracy. This trend takes shape in works by well-known cyberlaw theo- rists like Lawrence Lessig, Andrew Shapiro, and Neil Weinstock Netanel, but the most recent and most troubling criticism lies in Professor Cass Sunstein 's Republic.com. In this book, Professor Sunstein argues that perfectfiltering of infor- mation on the Internet will lead to a fractured communications environ- ment. He suggests that this fracturing will lead to group polarization, cascades of false information, and a concomitant rise in extremism. Governmental regulation of the Internet to reduce these features is there- fore warranted,and desirable.He suggests that the appropriateregulatory responses should include setting up or supportingpublic environmentsfor deliberation and debate on the Net, along with a series of disclosure and "must-carry" rules.
