We were fortunate to hear him speak at the March 2010 symposium and we are pleased to be able to share his presentation here. A central provoking question in his talk was "where are the spaces for deep, reflective thinking?" and Paul provides a quick overview of many inspirational online spaces associated with galleries, libraries, archives and museums.
