FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY - Live internet speech and Q&A Thursday (Technology and Language Change)

This looks too good to miss: a talk by an expert on the 'future of connectivity'. St Brendan's is streaming it live in the theatre and the MD of Google (Eileen Naughton) will be speaking directly to us so you can ask questions after the speech - just rock up but be seated by 9am. I will look into whether you can access it from home but obviously without the interactivity. Edit - you can - use this link when signed into Google + (apparently):  https://plus.google.com/events/crblcubnbi82s4l39k9c0gi9q20
