Ge Wang, Assistant Professor at Stanford University, gave the Fall 2012 Donoho Colloquium October 1, 2012, at 5:00 PM in Filene Auditorium, Moore Hall. His topic, "Music, Computing, People: An Emerging Dimension for Engaging One Another Creatively, Expressively, and Socially," provided insight into his perspective that mobile computing devices have become natural extensions of ourselves.
