RSA Keynote
Since the postwar boom, we've had a surfeit of intellect, energy and time.
Join Clay Shirky as he charts the effects that this 'cognitive surplus' - aided by new technologies - will have on 21st century society, and reveals that the choices we make are not only economically motivated but are also driven by the desire for autonomy, competence and community.
