Douglas Rushkoff, "Throwing Rocks at the Google Bus"
The digital economy has gone wrong. Everybody knows it, but no one knows quite how to fix it, or even how to explain the problem. Workers lose to automation, investors lose to algorithms, musicians lose to power law dynamics, drivers lose to Uber, neighborhoods lose to Airbnb, and even tech developers lose their visions to the demands of the startup economy.
Douglas Rushkoff argues that it doesn't have to be this way. This isn't the fault of digital technology at all, but the way we are deploying it: instead of building the distributed digital economy these new networks could foster, we are doubling down on the industrial age mandate for growth above all. As Rushkoff will show, this is more the legacy of early corporatism and central currency than a feature of digital technology. In his words, "we are running a 21st century digital economy on a 13th Century printing-press era operating system."
Here's how we went wrong, why we did it, and how we can reprogram the digital economy and our businesses from the inside out to promote sustainable prosperity for pretty much everyone.
Douglas' keynote was given at WebVisions Portland on Fri., May 20, 2016.
