Networked Society - a new short film about connectivity

A very interesting and insightful perspective on how we stand just at the brink of a truly networked society.

"We are the last generation that grew up in a dumb society, where things were stupid and uninteresting."

"All of the devices we make today have the potential to communicate with each other and have a reason to do it."

"When the light bulb was the thing, they dug up New York so that everyone could have lightbulbs in their houses. They didn't really see the extension of light bulbs, that you could have other electrical appliances. ...Jeff Bezos of Amazon ... thinks we are at the lightbulb stage of the internet."

Not a lot of "new" technology here, but a step back to look forward.
