Tech Community, are we MTV or TED?

abudak:

A fantastic article in the Washington Post, “Tech Community, are we MTV or TED,” which explores something I’ve been thinking a lot about.  In a community that loves to think of itself as world-changing, why then, “…are so many great developers spending their time trying to create products specifically designed to addict and help us waste our time?”  

It’s a well-written, thought-provoking piece, and one that has the power to potentially shock the tech world into returning to its roots of building things that truly matter.

About

Hello! I'm Clem.

Connecting ideas to people -- preferably around good food -- lights me up. A mental distillery, of some sort.

I believe that all we want is to be true. To yourself. To other people. To the cosmic universe.

Freedom to be.
Curiosity is growth.
Rebel against normal.
