Kevin Werbach connects with me today: In Into the Matrix he captures exactly how I feel about view that we're going to be trapped into a Matrix like situation by increasingly strict and complex software licenses. "If I were a pessimist like Larry Lessig, I'd say we're going to wake up one day and find we're living in the Matrix -- a prison built of software. But I'm an optimist. Unfortunately, I haven't yet come up with the counter-argument." Same for me - I intellectually connect with Lessig but find I don't connect emotionally nearly as much. I know it's partly an optimism thing, but worry that I'm rationalizing my lack of initiative to do something about it.... 10:30:41 PM     trackback []
