Ideas: Steven Johnson and Kevin Kelly moderated by Robert Krulwich at NYPL

/

We've already seen Steven Johnson and Kevin Kelly share a conversation via Wired.com. In this hour and a half dialogue, moderated by the superb Robert Krulwick of Radiolab fame, both authors continue the conversation and discuss their recent books, Where Ideas Come From: The Natural History of Innovation and What Technology Wants, and the future. It really is worth taking the time to watch it.

It is easy to get caught up in the frenzy of the newest gadget, but ink is everywhere. This short film demonstrates how technically complex, fascinating and beautiful the ink-making process is. Touch devices are getting more amazing every day, but nothing beats the tactile joy of holding something printed on beautiful paper with gorgeous inks.

Great find by @laughingsquid.
