MTalks—Chris Sanderson, ‘Designing our future selves’ lecture • 12 Nov 2014

Chris Sanderson (of The Future Laboratory) presents a lecture on ‘Designing our future selves: How life in the 21st century is re-modelling what it means to be human’. Technology doesn’t transform society; society transforms itself, using technology. This insight informs a whistle-stop 30-minute journey into the new social mores and trends that are highlighting how the tech-obsessed 21st-century citizen is redesigning expectations around ownership, sharing, a sense of self and an obligation to society in this me-focused era of selfies, photobombs, constant comment, continuous partial attention, convergence and the internet of things. http://www.mpavilion.org/program/chris-sanderson-of-london-s-the-future-laboratory-on-designing-our-future-selves
