Cultural Offering is the online sketch book of Kurt J. Harden. The opinions expressed here are mine. I invite you to enjoy, comment, agree or disagree.
Carpe Diem pointed me to this TEDtalk by Roger McNamee on six very big changes that will affect our technological future. Very much worth watching. I gotta figure out HTML5:
When you can just have Henry step on a board and perfectly fitted shoes are delivered in a day or two, then we have tech to get excited about. You're out of the mall on Black Friday and happy.
All that the old hippie is selling here is that he's likes people flipping through the Internet with their thumbs and a tiny screen and he may have found a way to charge you for information that you probably could live without.
I'm not saying he's completely wrong. I watched a video where people were fist fighting to get $2 Chinese made toasters today. People will buy anything and get excited about anything if the conditions are right, but they may not do it for long. Reply to this

But I agreed that there is something more social than HTML5 and it is real human interaction.
I'm not buying what the old California hippie is selling here.
