A great video describing the participatory nature of the new web. The sharing and interactivity of the Internet. By way of John Battelle’s great blog.
‘For me, cultural anthropology is a continuous exercise in expanding my mind and my empathy, building primarily from one simple principle: everything is connected. This is true on many levels. First, everything including the environment, technology, economy, social structure, politics, religion, art and more are all interconnected. As I tried to illustrate in the video, this means that a change in one area (such as the way we communicate) can have a profound effect on everything else, including family, love, and our sense of being itself.’
He also has a nice interview of the creator of the video, posted here.
