Howard Rheingold on Reclaiming the Attention Commons
Description
Joel Zaslofsky:
"The Commons.
How much do you do for them?
How much does anyone do these days to preserve and expand the Commons?
I tell you what: one man is definitely improving our collective resources. He’s Howard Rheingold: prolific writer, passionate speaker, virtual community expert, and all around colorful fella.
Have you ever felt smothered by a system bottling up the best of you? Do you ever wonder why you stare at a glowing screen or let others dictate what gets your attention?
Howard does. This best-selling author and TED Talk speaker has been thinking about the evolution of information for decades. He can see the crossroads of isolated patterns when you and I see nothing at all.
But he’s humble and mindful. He’s deeply aware of how much he knows … and how much he doesn’t know." (http://valueofsimple.com/smart-and-simple-matters-podcast-047-the-commons-howard-rheingold/)
