I have just started a new job with the Omidyar Network. He founded eBay to empower individuals through the use of new technology, and has created livelihoods for millions of individuals throughout the world.

We discussed how Burma is now the first “smartphone only” country in the world. I last went to Burma in 2007. In a year of fascinating conversations, a few stood out.
