Although it was released into the wild only about a month ago, it hasn't taken long for the iPad to generate a conference focused on explaining its impact and ultimate meaning. Tabula Rasa: A Tablet Computing Throwdown, organized by WeMedia, a network/community of digital entrepreneurs and visionaries based in lower Manhattan, is one of the first and provided an impressive line up of digital professionals offering very early reactions about what the iPad might mean to business, popular culture and social interaction in general.
Mentioned later in the article is Program Director for Digital Publishing at the Reynolds Journalism Institute, Roger Fidler:
Moderated by WeMedia's Dale Peskin and Andrew Nachison, Tabula Rasa's theme—essentially the iPad is a cultural blank slate with the potential to "change everything"—was addressed by the likes of web and graphic designer Roger Black; media and technology critic Jeff Jarvis, author of What Would Google Do?; digital media pioneer Roger Fidler of the Reynolds Journalism Institute and a host of other very smart, digital media professionals throughout the day. And while the organizers said the conference was focused on the impact of tablet and mobile device computing in general, make no mistake, this conference was totally focused on Apple and the iPad.
