Gin, Television, and Social Surplus - Here Comes Everybody
Comments (View)
A brilliant re-casting of the free time afforded by modern society as a cognitive surplus we’ve been wasting away. Definitely worth a read.
“And it’s only now, as we’re waking up from that collective bender, that we’re starting to see the cognitive surplus as an asset rather than as a crisis. We’re seeing things being designed to take advantage of that surplus, to deploy it in ways more engaging than just having a TV in everybody’s basement.”
