Kevin Kelly On The Next 5,000 Days Of The Web

natalie — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 10:19:28 +0000

A little bit of a blast from the past.
I was speaking about Wired’s Kevin Kelly this morning and found his TED talk in the TED archive.

Here Kelly asks, how can we predict what’s coming in the next 5,000 days? Lot’s of stuff to think about…

“All this stuff is here…and we’re not amazed”

Note: 5,000 days = 10years. As the web’s now 12-ish years old it makes this talk all the more interesting – to look at his thoughts and questions in the context of what’s actually happening now! For instance, are you ‘open to having all this data about you’…out there?

Paula Scher Talks Serious About Play (& Design)

I just read an article about designer Paula Scher (you know her work – the citigroup logo…) and there was a link to her TED video so of course I had to share:

“I play when I design…I even looked it up in the dictionary to make sure I do that…But the serious part is what threw me…”

Very inspiring career.
