Why John Seely Brown Is Optimistic About the Future

 

At the 2009 Pegasus Conference in Seattle, Washington, John Seely Brown spoke on the topic of "Rethinking the Organization: From Scalable Efficiency to Scalable Learning." In this clip, he explains why he's optimistic about the future: The impulse by today's youth to use social technologies to collaborate and build on each other's creativity. JSB believes that the blogosphere and other web-based tools provide a powerful means for people to express provisional ideas, receive honest feedback, and evolve their thinking.

I saw John's talk at the conference. He really opened my eyes as to the mental models I had in place for some of this generation's seemingly trivial occupations and pastimes. I love it when my preconceived notions are shown to me and dissolve into wonder at the excitement of learning!
