Yochai Benkler - Chapter 1 - A Moment of Opportunity and Change
Reflection“There is a real contrast in the messages from Andrew McAfee and from Richard Florida. Both are well recognised and effective speakers (I hope you agree) sometimes seen as being more 'poppy' than academic, but the underlying messages of both have much to say about the impact of technology and the way in which we construct information and knowledge and systemise this process. Consider these presentations and be a big thinker - where is society going? Can we automate the production of knowledge? or do our systems actually empower human creativity - a crucial ingredient for innovation?”
