Spare thoughts
This week on Outriders a longer discussion as chats about his new book Cognitive Surplus and how he switched from theater and the arts to new media observation.
The time that we may use to passively watch television or take in traditional media could be changing as audiences become active and productive consumers, not content to sit and watch when they can create something for themselves and their friends. A tricky dilemma while traditional media formats flounder or panic about new media models, but are we all prepared to play nice with the new arenas available to us?
Cognitive Surplus is available from Allen Lane publishing.
Until next week!

What on earth was all the tapping though? Was he doing his email while talking to you?
