What is the Future of Social? • Thought leader @jonl

In his thoughtful presentation Jon Lebkowsky talks about the future of "social". What it means to be social today, is much different that yesterday. What does the future hold?

Jon starts his presentation talking about the mutant gene FoxP2 that allowed humans to become creatures with language. After language came words and signs and symbols. Writing allowed us to extend ourselves through time and space.

In five minutes Lebkowsky manages to cover everything from the Guttenberg printing press to the internet to wikinomics and google wave.

What is Ignite!? - It's fast-paced, fun, thought-provoking, social, local, global and more. It's a high-energy evening of 5-minute talks by people who have an idea—and the guts to get onstage and share it with their hometown crowd. Run by local volunteers who are connected through the global Ignite network, Ignite is a force for raising the collective IQ and building connections in each city.

The rules? You have 5 minutes and 20 slides to tell your story, share you passion, and hopefully enlighten the audience.

Ignite Austin? Ignite Austin brings together an inspiring and unexpected blend of thinkers from business, art, technology, government and academia. All with ideas. And all willing to share them.
