Spark 147: Digital Impermanence, Pervasive Computing, and McLuhan Today
This year marks the centenary of Marshall McLuhan’s birth, and at Spark, all May long it will be McLuhan-o-rama because what he had to say about media more than 40 years ago shines light on today’s digital world. Eric McLuhan on his father's relevance today. Timothy Taylor on why humans didn't make the tools, the tools made us! Adam Greenfield on pervasive computing and the networked city. Philippe Morin with the story of an arctic trapper with his own YouTube channel. And Jason Scott on digital impermanence, the dangers of storing your data in one place.
