I posted this in my Slack workspace for my students in [CIS235: Intro to Information Systems](https://www.philsimon.com/academia/courses/#CIS235%5FIntro%5Fto%5FInformation%5FSystems). I'm reposting it here.

As you probably know by now, I enjoy learning and reading about technology. Ditto for discussing it with others. I like to think that I've picked up a thing or six about the subject in my years (#humblebrag). Besides researching and writing a bunch of [books](https://www.philsimon.com/books) and reading hundreds more, I spent more than a decade helping organizations deploy new technologies.

If you pay attention to the news (and you absolutely should), then you know that tech is everywhere these days.

*Everywhere*.

Against this backdrop, I have decided to host a series of open discussion sessions. The goal: To talk about different technologies and the effects that they are having on business, society, and the world.

There's no preset agenda but I doubt that we'll be lacking for content.

Details are below. Feel free to pass this along to any of your classmates. This is an open invitation.

## When

Every Monday and Wednesday.

## Why

Because understanding technology is really freaking important. It's easy to look like a jackass if you don't.

## Who

Any ASU student in my class or not.

## When

12:25 pm to 12:45 pm.

## Where

BA396.

## Updated: October 2, 2019
