The Seattle ‘Soul Tech’ workshop (”Living a passionately productive life amidst a tech-stressed world”) was a great success. You can see some of the pictures below, or here at the Humanity 2.0 site (a social site for those who have attended or who are interested in related topics.)
While it was a little strange to have the Today Show crew swinging camera’s around our faces, I am impressed that we (Jay, myself and all the participants) all seemed to eventually get used to it. Was it an appropriate use of technology…well, if it spreads the message, then I think yes.
So, I received an email from the producer yesterday that said our workshop would air on February 20th. How they will take what was probably 5-6 hours of footage and whittle it down to 2-3 minutes while maintaining the heart of things is a little beyond me. My hope though is that, besides a potential increase in business, it will also increase national awareness and dialogue about these increasingly important issues: How is technology effecting our daily lives for the better and for the worse? How can we become more intentional and conscious of our use in a way that maintains the best parts of being human?
