Larry Page Graduation Speech

From the page:

Larry Page, Google co-founder, spoke at the College of Engineering graduation, and his speech was definitely the highlight of the weekend (plus, I got to shake his hand and accept his congratulations!). Being the geek that I am, I made sure to record his speech with my Windows Mobile phone. I would definitely suggest listening to what he had to say to our graduating class. It was truly inspiring.

This is interesting at so many different levels. The speech itself is interesting. The fact that you can record the whole speech on a mobile phone is interesting. The fact that the recording can be broadcast to the entire world essentially for free is interesting.

What it means, essentially, is that anything you say can be captured and broadcast to the entire world in short order. It is both amazing and terrifying.
