Howard Rheingold is an unorthodox professor. You can google his curriculum vitae and/or find his video resume somewhere online.
Don't try to limit him to any particular academic institution; he's spoken and/or taught and/or presented widely in the US - Stanford, Berkeley, USC Annenberg, etc.
Oh, and don't try to limit him to any particular group, medium, website, decade, etc., either. You'll find Howard just about anywhere there is a new media frontier to explore / harness / evaluate / investigate.
If you have any interest in the the social implications of new media technologies, how they may affect culture, human communication, etc. you might want to know this: Howard is now vlogging.
I'm not saying I'm advocating his worldview, his philosophy, his politics, his paintings, etc. But when it comes to new media evaluations & predictions, Howard is usually right.
You can find Howard's video blog here.
Did I mention he also paints shoes? And what's he looking for?
