Watch Clay Shirky’s TED Talk on Institutions V. Collaboration: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPQViNNOAkw
This video touches on a lot of the themes we talked about in class. Open source, power laws, social capital and collaboration…. So the questions are this:
Question: According to Shirky why will institutions cease to exist—or at least lose emphsis? As part of the internet generation—how different are you from your parents and what will the future look like? Explain Shirky’s thesis to me. And then tell me what you think about it. Is it plausible and if so, is this scary and why?
And for those bolder students of knowledge interested in how the future may look like--check out his more recent talk: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_0FgRKsqqU .
