1. RSA Events: You Are Not A Gadget

   Keynote

   Jaron Lanier, philosopher, digital guru and architect of Virtual Reality, is worried.

   Individual creativity has begun to go out of fashion. Machines, specifically computers, are no longer just tools to be used by the human mind - these days, we treat them as if they are altogether better than humans.

   Join Jaron Lanier as he delivers a call to arms against digital collectivism and proposes richer, more productive ways in which technology might interact with our culture.

   Chair: Nico Macdonald, writer and consultant on design, technology and innovation
