Musings on a digital life: Mark Pesce talks to Robert Ouimet

Last year, Mark Pesce, Honorary Associate at Sydney University, and author of A Playful World: How Technology is Transforming our Imagination, talked to Rob Ouimet from At Large Media for New Media BC’s podcast series. Mark was on his cell phone in his backyard in Sydney.
Among the many fascinating topics they covered, they talked about:
· Influences in his work, Marshall McLuhan and William Gibson.
· The intimacy of email.
· Blogging as conversation, and the power of common intelligence.
· Managing the avalanche of information.
· The current internet revolution is not about infrastructure, it is about interface.
· del.icio.us, Flock, kris krug.
