CYB3R SAPIENS – A Documentary
Tuesday, March 10th, 2009
Last December, in Paris, I sat down to talk with Ornit Barkai to do an interview for a documentary she is working on called CYB3R SAPIENS. We discussed Facebook, the social web and the future of the Internet. And, how ultimately the Internet is not about just about information, it is about people.
She’s now posted a few clips online as she heads into editing the final product. I’m humbled to be featured alongside my friends and fellow Internet citizens such as Joi Ito, Chad Hurley, Michael Arrington, Jonathan Zittrain, Marrisa Mayer, Paulo Coelho, and more. One of the clips is attached below. Enjoy!
CYB3R SAPIENS is a documentary film about social networking in the digital age. Social behavior is as primal as human kind, and social media is as ancient as the first cave paintings dating back some 32,000 years. Today’s blogs, vlogs, podcasts, SMSs and micro-blogs are the contemporary, technologically hyper-ed, digitally induced version of those first communicative accounts from the dawn of civilization. The film explores themes of human connectivity and social networking in the Internet age and looks at how recent social media phenomena and social networking trends have been reshaping our culture, life and language.
