Howard Rheingold at TED
Howard Rheingold’s 2005 talk at TED (an event which I’m a massive fan of) has just been posted over at www.ted.com
In it, he talks about collaboration, game theory, where current society has got it wrong and where it’s headed, arguing that more symbiotic, collaborative, (bottom up?) organisations and forms of commerce and living are the way forward, are actually quite natural (despite what a superficial look at human behaviour in game theory experiments like the Prisoner’s Dilemma. Open source, Benkler’s theory of nonmarket production, peer to peer, crowd-sourcing, are all concepts that feature heavily in the 20min talk. A must-watch. Well done HR for doing the talk with humour and passion in just 20 minutes despite how large and deep a topic this is. Talking about where society’s heading - not easy to put into a nutshell if you want to really do it justice!
