Is Social Media Turning us into Pathetic Losers?

Is Social Media Turning us into Pathetic Losers?

by Jeff Hester · Aug 30, 2013

This week I ran across two videos that you should watch. They paint a rather bleak view of technology and how it’s not really helping us become more connected. Not that this is the fault of technology. We are (I’m painting with broad strokes here) misusing technology. The first is titled The Innovation of Loneliness. […]

Connected, The Film

by Jeff Hester · Oct 1, 2011

Every month a terrific group of bright minds meets in Los Angeles to share, challenge, drink and discuss how we can live an enlightened life. The gathering is known as Mindshare, and if you live anywhere within driving distance of downtown LA, I highly recommend it. This past Thursday, Mindshare hosted a preview screening of […]

Face-to-Face Still Matters

Face-to-Face Still Matters

by Jeff Hester · Feb 17, 2011

Earlier today we wrapped up three consecutive days of video teleconferences to train five new knowledge managers.

Dropping Names

by Jeff Hester · Aug 28, 2006

I wanted to say thanks to the many wonderful people I had a chance to meet at UXWEEK2006 (in no particular order): Steven Berlin Johnson, author of Everything Bad is Good For You and Emergence (which I’ve added to my “must read” list); Ray Daly of the NEA; Chiara Fox, Dan Saffer, Brandon Schauer and […]

BigBlueBall Meetup at the House of Blues

by Jeff Hester · Apr 28, 2005

This BigBlueBall we live on is made smaller every day by technology. With the Internet, we can chat, talk and even see each other from thousands of miles apart, all with ease. But all the technology in the world cannot still take the place of a live, face-to-face interaction. At BigBlueBall.com we have moderators from […]
