Clay Shirky on Cognitive Surplus

In June, Clay Shirky presented at TED Talks in Cannes about Cognitive Surplus: The ability of the world’s population to volunteer and contribute and collaborate on large and sometimes global projects. The world has over a trillion hours a year of participatory value up for grabs.

We can use this trillion hours a year to celebrate and support and reward the people with cognitive surplus to create civic value and change society.
