Pete Cashmore Talks Connectivity & Technology For Good


"There's so much you can do when you're just MORE connected."

I just walked in the door from "another day at the office" and turned on NY1 to see semi-dreamy (?) techno-digi-social wonder boy Pete Cashmore, CEO and founder of mashable.com.

Having worked in the Experiential Marketing / Brand Consulting realm for a minute, I was truly struck by the closing line of the interview.

"If we can just get the tools of connectivity into people's hands there's amazing, magical things they can do with it, far more than figuring out how to launch a media site from rural Scotland. You know? They can change the world, build trade in their countries, they can create livings for themselves they can become self-sustaining. There's so much you can do when you're just MORE connected."
