Neuroscience – The book mentioned is an analysis of the impact of digital technology on our neurons. Nicholas Carr’s The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains.
Conviviality- Look out for LSN Globals forthcoming Conviviality Culture report that explores how consumers expect live experiences, prefer personal, local, niche and network-orientated events that are one-to-one, personalised and LIVE.
