GADGETS HAVE
ELIMINATED
THE NEED TO

SUCH THINGS
ANYMORE."

       Joshua Foer
THREAT
…you give your disciples not truth, but only the semblance of truth; they
will be hearers of many things and will have learned nothing; they will
appear to be omniscient and will generally know nothing; they will be
tiresome company, having the show of wisdom without the reality.


                                                       Plato –
                                      The Phaedrus (ca 370 bc)
THREAT PERCEPTION
Anything that is in the world when you’re
born is normal and ordinary and is just a
natural part of the way the world works.

   Anything that’s invented between when
   you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and
    exciting and revolutionary and you can
                 probably get a career in it.

Anything invented after you’re thirty-five is
   against the natural order of things.

"Out of this anarchy…
what was governing the
infinite monkeys now
inputting away on the
Internet was the law of
digital Darwinism, the
survival of the loudest
and most opinionated.”


ANDREW KEEN: CULT OF THE AMATEUR
(2007)

“My fear is that these
technologies are
infantilising the brain into
the state of small children
who are attracted by
buzzing noises and bright
lights, who have a small
attention span and who
live for the moment.”

Prof. Susan Greenfield

WHAT DOES IT
 ALL MEAN?
OLD STUPIDITY OR
NEW INTELLIGENCE?

ANALOGUE AGE

UNFORTUNATE?
The advantages are enormous…
1. UNDERSTAND HOW IT WILL HELP YOU
2. UNDERSTAND HOW IT CHANGES YOU
AND YOURS
3. balance. Find yours, don’t
          let others tell you.
4. MANAGING
