A discussion with John Wagner and Isaac Holeman from Squarepeg about their vision of a world of de-siloed information that finds its way to the people who want it the most. Followed by a discussion about why there's no good reason that a 21st century start-up shouldn't create social benefit as it creates wealth.

How can you adapt technology to accelerate social action?

The conference stage was set by contextualizing our efforts as existing at a unique time in the evolution of technology.  Daniel Ben-Horin made the case that we are in the midst of a market shock within technology.  This shock was characterized as a shift from mass markets to technologies with their focal point on enabling individual people.  He spoke of a prior phase where organizations were concerned with getting stuff (equipment for basic infrastructure).  He sees this changing in favor of means to outfit people to more effectively collaborate.
