“Lisa Gansky, like Al Gore, didn’t invent the internet. But she co-created the first commercial website, developed the idea of advertising online, created online photo sharing and printing, and sold companies to both Kodak and AOL. Most important Gansky gets it. She sees around corners and describes a future that seems impossible… until you realize that it’s imminent.
