What follows is a rough approximation of my brief introductory talk at this year’s Ars Electronica Symposium which I co-curated with Isaac Mao. The presentation is at Slideshare. Videos of all the talks are available on the website. The Revolutionary Meme When Ars Electronica first began over 30 years ago, it was one of the only annual events that focused on the impact of technology on society and creativity. Today there are multiple events that examine technology’s role on all aspects of life, not just every week, but every single day. In fact, there has emerged an entire conference class that does little else except for travel from one conference to another to offer their analysis about technology’s impact on politics, business, marketing, travel, video, subtitling … even pet care.
The question is why? I believe that there are two reasons. Three years before the first Ars Electronica, a 35-year-old Richard Dawkins published the book The Selfish Gene. The TV Generation.

Anarchy rules OK Chomsky tells Australia. PEOPLE should embrace the sort of anarchism typified by WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, Noam Chomsky says. The American commentator, philosopher and activist was being interviewed in front of a packed theatre at the Sydney Opera House today when he was asked his thoughts on Prime Minister Julia Gillard's comments that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's motivations were "sort of anarchic". Professor Chomsky said if anarchy meant questioning authority and demanding the truth, then everyone should be anarchic. "In that sense I think everyone should be an anarchist," he said, in response to heavy applause from the audience. Anarchism should not be viewed in a negative light, Prof Chomsky said. "It's not the conception of anarchism as people running wild and breaking windows.
"And if it cannot justify itself, then it should be dismantled. Prof Chomsky is to receive the 2012 Sydney Peace Prize at a ceremony later this evening. The Zeitgeist Movement. The Zeitgeist Movement Official Blog | Become the change you want to see in the world.
