Rubin Farr Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Flavor of the week? Seems like a con man who has convinced the media & AOL that he knows more than you do. Several recent write ups: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/11/17/crystal-ball-3 http://www.businessinsider.com.au/a-brief-biography-of-david-shing-the-australia-born-aol-digital-prophet-who-has-the-internet-buzzing-2014-2 If I ever see this twat I'm shaving his head!!

olo Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I would tend to agree. But there are folks at my company who kinda do the same thing. Just aren't asshats like that guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digman Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I have seen him give a lecture before and despite looking like a complete goof he is actually intelligent. Yeah his self proclaimed title of "DIGITAL PROPHET" is a bit stupid / pretentious. But he has a strong understanding of gadgets and digital culture.

azatoth Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Where can I find someone to pay me six figures to talk some shit about digitals whatever, we're in the matrix and posthumans in the making? Actually I'd like to talk about the meaningless of everything and how we are just an accident in the cosmic evolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
