Recorded in 2005, Howard Rheingold talks about the critical importance of collaboration, participatory media and collective action in shaping a better and more effective world. Great historical examples of human interdependence, cooperation, helping and other civilised behaviours that helped humans to thrive and survive through adversity - all alternatives to more destructive models that have obscured reason, ethics and the simple logic of alternatives. See a complete screencast (animated visuals with voice over) here.
I suggest we honour this talk - and items like it - with the following delicious tag: “newway”
Howard has been a formative figure in my thinking about the relationship between community and reciprocity - and how all of us can contribute to the world in unique and positive ways (if only we choose to).
