The Committee to Nuke Elysium

The only way to be a Post Digital business is to be a thoroughly, deeply, massively digital one. To be digital in culture not just in capabilities. To know how to iterate in public, to do experiments not research, to recognise that it’s quicker and better to code something than it is to describe it in meetings. You need to be part of the wider digital culture, to have good sharing habits, to give credit where it’s due, and at the very least to know how to do ellipses in Processing.

Post Digital was supposed, if anything, to be a shout against complacency, to make people realise that we’re not at the end of a digital revolution, we’re at the start of one. The end game was not making a website to go with your TV commercial and it’s not now about making a newspaper out of your website. Post Digital was supposed to be the next exciting phase, not a return to the old order. It’s the bit where the Digital people start to engage in the world beyond the screen, not where the old guard reasserts itself.
