Podcast Description
Are you paying attention? Our planet is changing at an exponential rate. If you don't know what dramatic changes are coming in the next few years, how will you be prepared? Or will your adaptations come too late? @mouselink is the internet handle of the New-York-based author, teacher, public speaker and artist, Matteo Wyllyamz. Matteo is a "Creative," interested in new media, visual communication, technorealism, and future studies. Matteo writes and speaks about the ways in which emerging technologies impact our society, communities, businesses, schools, and us as individuals. (This is sometimes referred to as "futurism" or "trends forecasting.") Matteo specializes in bringing the details of emerging technologies to those who may not already be paying attention, and creates visual and spoken-word presentations on these same topics. Matteo likes to tell stories. Many of them are global. All are personal. Matteo has recently lectured at Ithaca College, Cornell Cooperative Extension, TC3, NYCC, and the Alternatives "Business Cents" program. He has also taught for CCU in Denver, Colorado Free University, Productivity Point, and the US Department of Defense. He is a magna cum laude graduate of the professional writing program at Metropolitan State College of Denver. Matteo describes himself as a "Beatnik super-human, disguised as geek, loitering at the intersection of Art and Science." Contact him to arrange an appearance on radio, TV, and new media, or to organize a public presentation, such as a workshop, seminar, class, panel, speech, or spoken word performance.

Customer Reviews
Excellent perspectives, delivery
I like this guy. I watch his commentary on twitter. He's always been well spoken and very well versed. I see and hear an unbiased expression of whatever he's researching.
In this age of soc media, the tech cyber double sided sword is razor sharp. He points out the hidden hazards of such emerging tools.
Great podcast. Great voice too. Cheers and looking forward to more of your observations Matteo.

Thoughtful commentary from a social media whiz
I don't pay much attention to self-appointed social media experts as a general rule, but Matteo has been paying close attention to this field and technology in general for years, and has some valuable insight to share.
Great new podcast
Just finished getting caught up on back episodes, started at the beginning and enjoyed each one better than the last. The production quality is continually improving and his ideas and thoughts are presented clearly. Keep it up, Mouselink!
