Blog Entry Revisiting Techno-euphoria
by Nishant Shah — published Jul 11, 2012 — last modified Apr 24, 2015 11:53 AM — filed under: , ,

A friend and I were at a cafe in Bangalore the other day, when an acquaintance walked in.

Blog Entry IPv6: Embrace The Change
by Nishant Shah — published Jun 11, 2012 — last modified Jun 13, 2012 06:09 AM — filed under:
A moment of transition is always filled with anxiety. There is concern over the unknown and there is a reluctance to move out of the familiar. However, a transition does not necessarily mean migration; or in other words, as we transition to IPv6 as the new protocol for digital and electronic communication, it does not mean that we are going to abandon the internet as we know it.

In one of the research projects that I have been involved in, I was recently a part of a jury, for a contest which required on-line voting. It sounded like a fun thing, giving the participants a chance to bring in their inherited networks and also expanding the reach of the contest entries.
