Lawrence Lessig: Smart, relevant and compelling

For a guy who is relatively computer literate, I’ve only recently actually plugged into most of what is going on in the “blogosphere” and the “podcastosphere” (sure, that sounds right). But since I’ve been paying attention, there have been a few people that have definitely caught my attention. One of them is Lawrence Lessig.

I think if there were more people who were as articulate and passionate about important issues we would probably be much farther ahead, and people would likely be much more engaged, rather than sitting back and complaining.

Watch this video of his TED talk and see what you think (thanks to Presentation Zen for pointing me to the talk in the first place).
