Session description
This is what it feels like to be hyperconnected: a new kind of community β pervasive, continuous, yet strangely tense and tenuous, like a balloon inflated to the point of bursting. The limits of the neocortex meeting the amplifier of the Human Network. That creates unique opportunities: we can come together at a word, self-organize around or against a blog post, a live-streamed video, an automated reply from a faceless, rent-seeking organization. Nothing can stop us. We canβt even stop ourselves. But what do we want? And the other thing? Youβll need to be at Web Directions South, for the closing keynote, if you want to find out.
