David Staley, convener of Columbus Futurists, delivered an upbeat and thought-provoking presentation to The Clio Society recently. The premise is a variation on a theme raised a few years ago by author Nicholas Carr, in his book Is Google Making Us Stupid? This video of Staley’s talk is a compelling combination of quotes, history, examples and unique interpretations that will cause you to consider: what does the Internet really mean – to myself personally, and to culture as a whole?
The Clio Society is a group of people interested in the recovery, interpretation and implications of history – in a wide variety of forms and purpose. A function of the History Department at The Ohio State university, attendance in meetings is free and open to all.
