Friday Feature: Internet Trends 2011 slide deck

This slide presentation explores trends currently shaping the internet. It was prepared by Mary Meeker, a partner at KPCB (Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield, Byers) an American venture capital firm. The presentation is geared towards American business, but the some of the trends could affect the education market. Slide 22, Hierarchy of Needs Revisited, is a personal favourite (though I do believe it is meant tongue-in-cheek).
