cognitive science and shirking popular media
abbas
this is a fascinating lecture about fifteen minutes long from professor clay shirky from nyu on how the switch from the 19th to 20th century came about with the advancement of the industrial revolution and how it is analagous today with the way various online media are taking over the cognitive surplus which has allowed people to waste their time on television. it really is worth watching and you’ll only be a better person after having watched it.
