Great talk; very informative; and I’m totally into the rise of constantly newly fascinated ADD multitaskers. This is our era! (Plus anyone who extols the virtues of video games is a winner in my book)

Very interesting. However, I disagree with one part: Not everyone has access to the "printing press" i.e. digital media tools. Even in San Francisco, where I live, there are many people who do not know how to use email and craigslist, let alone blogging SaaS software etc. Digital exclusion due to economic circumstances is a major issue. So, no, we do not all have access. Many voices are being excluded.

Charles, give it time :-) We’re less than one generation into the Internet. Consider it took 3 generations before most of the world embraced telephones (>5B phones in use today). Moore’s law assures that virtual communication will soon be a part of everyday life for all but the poorest.

I love hearing people refute the nay-sayers about the negative impact of technology. We are in the midst of some fascinating changes. Thanks for sharing your ideas and insights. I will use your video in my beginning of the year discussion starters with my high schoolers in August. Great.
