Amazing Insight,

This review is from: Cognitive Surplus: How Technology Makes Consumers into Collaborators (Paperback)
This book has incredible insight into what Shirky calls our "Cognitive Surplus" - this excess of free time being put to good use when we are given a medium that allows us to do so. The internet is the best thing that happened to me; the TV sure as hell wasn't!

This review is from: Cognitive Surplus: Creativity and Generosity in a Connected Age (Audio CD)
I eagerly purchased this Clay Shirky book based on listening to podcasts of his thoughts on the future of the newspaper business. The man's comments were insightful, he reeked intelligence. While I am sure he still does, it is difficult to tell in this audio effort as he chose to not narrate this book. I found myself drifting through vast sections with no memory of what had been spoken.Regrets, as had I bought the hardcover I would have still heard his voice and likely been once again spellbound. |
