No Future Shock

By Joanne Jacobs ⋅ June 4, 2009 ⋅ 3 comments

Okay, it’s rough to criticise the work of Alvin Toffler, nearly 40 years after he published ‘Future Shock‘. But while Toffler’s key premise – that the shift from an industrial age to a post-industrial, highly technology-mediated society would leave us all feeling rather disconnected and over stressed – may have some merit in terms of information overload, it’s perhaps not quite as stressful. We’ve certainly been living a more connected existence in technologically developed societies since the early 1990s.

Joanne Jacobs explores the evolution of technology into the contexts for engagement of Future Users.

Unsheffield is building on the legacy of the BashMash voluntary collaboration days to bootstrap a Social Media Surgery for Sheffield’s voluntary and third sector. We’re inviting bloggers and social media experts in the region to become Social Media Surgeons for the weekend and share their skills and experience. Surgery will be open Sat 20 and Sun 21 Jun, and Surgeons will be guaranteed tickets for the event on the days they can contribute.

Unsheffield fka BarCamp Sheffield

BarCamp Sheffield has evolved to Unsheffield, and is taking the technology unconference format to a broader public. Participant-generated content still remains at the heart of the event. Mixed up alongside are public workshops that create a bridge between local and regional talent and the international event and its contributors.
