Aside from a few sleepless nights watching [Adult Swim], it’s rare that I’ll ever watch television. I grew up infront of a TV set, to grow up with a 4 button controller with a D-pad in my hand, to grow up infront of a monitor with a mouse and keyboard. That’s what I call Evolution!
There is a really interesting video of a lecture given by Chris Shirky at OpenLeft.com that was posted today. Just good meaty, short lecture to gnaw on. It’s about Cognitive Surplus, how society has dealt with excess time on their hands until given the means to properly deploy that energy and time. Good stuff.
