Pop!Tech 2006: Dangerous Ideas
Q & A
from Pop!Tech Wiki...
Both Juan Enriquez and Thomas Barnett are thinking about maps: what they reveal and what they hide. Enriquez called attention to the mythmaking behind the map representing our own country and our supposedly united states. The borders and flags and national symbols are only as powerful as the last generation that chooses to believe in them. Instead of assuming that The United States is immune to separatist movements, Enriquez suggests taking action through dialogue. Nothing is permanent in a system of constant change.
