Flow: A New Consciousness For A Web Of Traffic
A video of my presentation at Reboot courtesy of Nicolas Charbonnier (Charbax): It's called "Flow: A New Consciousness For A Web Of Traffic."
I am going to get a transcript made at some point. And you can download a PDF (cc - no commercial use, no derivatives, with attribution).

"Reverting to pre-agricultural/pre-industrial
consciousness: one eye on the flint we are knapping,
and one eye scanning the savannah for predators and
prey, chatting the whole time."
Apparently others propose to revert even further in time:
"Designing for Informavores, or, Why Users Behave Like Animals Online"

Stowe: Thanks for posting the video and corresponding slides. It was definitely worth the 30 minutes. Very interesting discussion regarding "flow" and how we could/should be looking at it. Think the debate brewing over it being a good or bad thing is normal as it occurs with all new things. It will obviously come down the individual, can an individual be successful and focus in a world where it is very easy to get taken from task. Those that are good at multi-tasking will be most successful, those that aren't will have to rely on the successful flow from the network to ensure they do not miss things that are most critical.
