TED/REMOvision & Richard Saul Wurman

We hear the word convergence BUT what does it really mean?
Well this is a must watch interview.
Here is what I got from this piece, a great meal for thought!
There are other ways of seeing things and that is convergence of Technology Entertainment and Design is everything we do!

The Gapingvoid thought of the day!

If you have not had a chance to look at www.gapingvoid.com in a while do go.
