By 2020, when Battersea Power Station is repurposed and reopened and the US, Dutch and possibly Chinese embassies have moved into the area, Nine Elms will be a very different place. We talk about the area’s unremarkable history, what it’ll be like in the future when it is London’s new centre for diplomacy, business and culture, and take a trip to the area’s current main attraction - New Covent Garden Market.

The Web We Lost | Berkman Center
In the past decade, we’ve seen the rise of powerful social networks of unprecedented scale, connecting millions or even billions of people who can now communicate almost instantaneously. But many of the promises that were made by the creators of the earliest social networking technologies have gone unfulfilled. We’ll take a look at some of the unexamined costs, both cultural and social, of the way the web has evolved.

Dan Gillmor on Permission Taken | MediaBerkman
Once, personal technology and the Internet meant that we didn’t need permission to compute, communicate and innovate. Now, governments and tech companies are systematically restricting our liberties, and creating an online surveillance state. In many cases, however, we’re letting it happen, by trading freedom for convenience and (often the illusion of) security. In this talk, Dan Gillmor—a founding director of the Knight Center for Digital Media Entrepreneurship at Arizona State University’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication—suggests steps we can take as individuals to be more secure and free, and to take back the permissions we’re losing.

5by5 | Back to Work #71: Sorry to Lose You as a Son
TOPIC: The Problem with Passive-Aggression. If that’s okay with you.
This week, Dan and Merlin apologize if they’ve made you unhappy with an episode about passive-aggressiveness, wussy non-communication, and non-apology apologies. But, maybe, that’ll just have to be okay with them.
But, could you PLEASE take your tuna out of the fridge, pick up after your dog, make more coffee, change the toilet paper roll, and help with taking trash to the curb?
Thank You In Advance For Your Cooperation! — The Management
