David Hayden, CEO
www.jeteye.com
By Emily Nesselroad
As we begin yet another year, we thought it fitting to share David Hayden's wisdom and experience as a true leader and internet pioneer. Hayden is a brilliant businessman who has been quoted or featured in Forbes, Business Week, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and other leading publications. Currently the CEO and founder of www.jeteye.com, Hayden and jeteye are up to something big. We' have been able to peer behind the curtain on the latest confidential developments and products at jeteye scheduled for launch later this year, and we think that jeteye has a very good chance of being one of the next big interactive success stories.
EN: The emergence of the Internet has yielded enormous benefits for the global community, but what are the negative implications (i.e., information overload and clutter) of the prevalence of the web?
DH: I think what has emerged, in parallel with all the benefits of the 'find anything, anytime' phenomenon, is a growing complacency and acceptance of satisfactory and mediocre mass information. Lost I think, is the sense of wonder - curiosity around how and why...invention, intention and the process and satisfaction of getting there. Cultural issues have barely been identified let alone thought about socially - the primary one being what I call the 'dumbing-down' of education. Today's internet provides fast information, or answers. This 'great thing' (Google currently playing the leading role), is an answer seeking/answer driven mentality that justifies not thinking. Especially in schools, where the 'answer' is paramount to passing the test, we are no longer really teaching our children that learning is to think, to question, and to really absorb the process. An entire new generation is growing up with the 'benefits' of the Internet -- that of getting whatever they want quickly, without having to think about it. That, in my opinion is a tragedy.
EN: What differentiates Jeteye from competitors such as Yahoo! and Google?
DH: At Jeteye we believe knowledge is a human quality, a manifestation of belief, intent, thought, experience, trial and error - assimilation in order to actually 'know' something is what matters.
