There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Advances in economic productivity give us choices and the simplest one is: more time or more stuff? Guest speaker John de Graaf (co-author of the bestselling "Affluenza: The All-consuming Epidemic") argues that we must begin to trade productivity advances for more free time instead of more material goods if we are to be free as individuals and to be sustainable as a society.
This conversation is co-sponsored by the schools of Public Policy and History, Technology, & Society.
