Reboot 8: Interview with Euan Semple

Euan Semple talks about his work at the BBC and the grass root approach of turning them towards ‘modern technology’, what he today is passionate about, the human desire to “connect” and the change in the way we see ourselves, the dead hand of control of global IT and what motivated him to talk about

“There’s something going on here that is bigger than any of us. (A hopeless idealist considers hyperlinks, organisations, life, the universe and everything.)“

Going on about Enlightenment, ‘the obvious’, why it is appropriate (and efficient) to engage and connect even in a business context, about trust in people you hire, why he gets less comfortable with mass media.
