What question are you asking yourself about our digital future?

Thanks all, for your candor and commitment. We're all taking everything you've said on board. I'd hate to waste the collected brainpower on a discussion of our film, though, and hope I can impose upon you all to share some of the bigger topics you all are currently considering.

One way we tried to pose it in the movie was, "are we tinkering with some essential part of ourselves, and what should we keep in mind as we move forward?"

This does *not* necessarily need to mean, "are we shortening our attentions spans" or "have we killed our capacity to read?" Although for some people -- particularly parents and high school teachers -- those questions will probably come up.

It does mean, in the bigger sense, how are we changing what it means to be human? Is everything changing across the board? What it means to be connected to another person, what it means to think, the notion of "originality," our allegiance to institutions, our understanding of what it means to be a member of the "crowd?"

This is just the first in a series of Roundtables, and as a facilitator of this space more than a documentary correspondent, I'm interested to find out what conversations will be most productive as we press on. Another way of asking it would be, Henry, Philip, Avrom, Marc, Mark, Jeremy and Eliza: what question are YOU asking yourselves about our digital future? And what are your even half-baked answers?
