Summary

Kevin Kelly believes that we overestimate the effects of technology in the moment, but vastly underestimate their effects in the long term. Whenever we create anything, we join a vast lineage of makers and thinkers and doers, from the first cave painter to the designers of virtual technology.

Kevin Kelly is a visionary idea man and technologist. He is a co-founder of Wired and also of the influential Hackers Conference. He is the editor and publisher of the website Cool Tools, which gets half a million unique visitors per month. He is a prolific author - in particular, his classic book Out of Control set our understanding of emergent technology - editor, and unorthodox thinker. His journalism has appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Economist, Time, Harpers, GQ, and Esquire.

In our talk we discuss:
* VR - how it can enable genius to be let out
* work habits. Being highly protective of mornings & the art of saying no.
* photography - Kevin loves photography and in fact, is working on a book

and much much more.

Enjoy!
