Earlier today I got back from the Interactive Festival at South by Southwest in Austin, TX. This year's festival was way larger than last year's and seemed to have been a little watered down. However, this keynote by Henry Jenkins, the Co-Director of the MIT Comparative Media Studies program, and Steven Johnson, a Distinguished Writer In Residence at NYU and author of Everything Bad Is Good For You: How Today's Popular Culture Is Actually Making Us Smarter is really fantastic. It's not overly technical so it might be of interest to some people who read this.
