I just finished watching Howard Rheingold’s TED talk on collaboration. Rheingold is the author of Smart Mobs, a book that explores the use of internet/mobile communications in organizing social action. In his TED talk, Rheingold says:
This is all about self-interest that adds up to more… around the world, citizens have self-organized political protests… using mobile devices and SMS.
The basic idea is that there is a new currency of wealth that is being created through collaboration, and that we need to continue to study the impact that this can have on our individual and collective lives. It’s worth the 20 minutes. Have a look.
