Join us for another fun Social Hour, hosted by RootSpace and the Social Media Exchange.
This week:
1) Screening of a documentary on blogging in Lebanon (in Arabic), and discussion with the person who made it, journalist Ibrahim Arab (also speaking in Arabic).
2) A video lecture (only 20 mins, in English) by web futurist Kevin Kelly: In a 2007 presentation, Kevin Kelly shares a fun stat: The World Wide Web, as we know it, is only 5,000 days old. Now, Kelly asks, how can we predict what’s coming in the next 5,000 days? (from ted.com)
3) SURPRISE!
RootSpace is located in the Saifi-Beirut area, on Charles Helou Street above the bus station and the port. We are in the Valli & Valli Building (50 meters from Bayt Al-Kataib, going away from downtown), on the 6th floor. Any questions, please call 03-138-770 or 01-449-536.
