This is a fascinating video from TED by Clay Shirky on the largest increase in expressive capability in human history – the social web. It’s about 17 minutes long and worth the view.
Favorite quotes by Clay Shirky from the video:
“What matters is not technical capital, it’s social capital.”
“Tools don’t get socially interesting until they get technologically boring. It isn’t when the shiny new tools show up that their uses start permeating society. It’s when everybody is able to take them for granted.”
“The moment our historical generation is living through is the single largest increase in expressive capability in human history.”
