Dean Shareski on the Shariness Factor and Sharing as a Moral Imperative

Below is a much talked about presentation from Dean Shareski on sharing for a K12 conference audience.

Stephen Downes comments:

“”Sharing is the threat. Not just a threat. It is the whole of the thing. A photo taken on a mobile now becomes instantaneously and pervasively visible on Flickr or other sharing websites. This act of sharing voids “any pretensions to control, or limitation, or the exercise of power”. I wish people could see how these little actions change things. Sharing defeats power. Which undermines the whole idea of a revolution being about “seizing power.” Who wants power? Who needs power? Give me a website and a Creative Commons license and I will change the world.”
