Has the future turned out the way it was supposed to?

That’s something we’re very interested in here at Made by Many, so we’ve invited world-renowned author and futurist Howard Rheingold to present an evaluation of the outcomes and predictions he made in the 2002 best-seller “Smart Mobs: The Next Social Revolution”.

Howard’s talk will be followed by an open discussion – I’m sure it will be a lively one! The event will appeal to anyone interested in new models of mass collaboration, crowd-sourcing and emergent intelligence that are made possible with the advent of ubiquitous social computing. We’ve only got a few free seats left, so if you’re interested, get in touch with me asap at elin@madebymany.co.uk and I will try to get you on the guest list.

The event will take place next Wednesday (July 8th) at 15:30 – 17:00 in BBH’s offices at 60 Kingly Street.

Below is a video clip of a talk Howard gave for Ted on collaboration, and Smart Mobs has also got it’s own blog over at smartmobs.com. And of course, don’t forget to follow @hrheingold on Twitter!
