Clay Shirky's ten-minute keynote from the Supernova conference, "Love, Internet Style," is a sweet and magic mind-opener. Clay explains how the best predictor of whether a technology will succeed is whether it inspires people to love it.
We have always loved one another, we're human, it's something we're good at. But up until recently, the radius and half-life of that affection has been quite limited. With love alone, you can plan a birthday party. Add coordinating tools and you can write an operating system.
In the past, we would do little things for love, but big things required money. Now we can do big things for love.
Thank you.
