Selection of Conferences

Homo Technologicus: The Human Story as the History of Information Technologies

In this talk, Bard explores how information technologies have been the key driver in the development of humanity. From writing to the digital age, he shows how these technologies not only change the way we interact but also the power structures and social dynamics that shape our societies.

Netocracy vs Consumtarians: Class Struggle in the Age of Interactivity

Bard presents a revolutionary analysis of how the ruling class of the future will not be based on material wealth but on the control of information. He examines the growing divide between netocrats, who dominate digital networks, and consumtarians, the passive consumers of the information age.

The Ethics of Interactivity: The Revolutionary Change of Morality in Network Society

This talk delves into how digital interactivity has transformed our understanding of ethics and morality. Bard suggests that traditional moral rules are no longer sufficient in a hyperconnected world and explores the ethical implications of this new paradigm.

The Art of Implosion: How the Value of Information Increases by NOT Exploiting It

Bard addresses the paradox of the information age: the less information is exploited, the more valuable it becomes. In this talk, he reflects on how companies and organizations can maximize the value of data not through exploitation but through strategic management of its accessibility and use.
