CACUSS 2012 Keynote: Michael Wesch

At CACUSS2012. The first keynote speaker was Michael Wesch, whose talk was on

The End of Wonder in the Age of Whatever.

It was a very interesting and insightful look at the challenge of students and student services in an age of always on, always connected culture. He noted that there are three parts to answering life's questions:

• Quest
• Embrace our vulnerability
• Invite connections

Most insightfully, however, he noted that technology provides ways for students to answer these questions like never before; but it also provides ways of not answering these questions like never before. 


While this is not the talk he gave here, if you check out this TEDx talk, you will get a sense of how powerfully he communicates. Then give yourself a treat an search YouTube to see his other talks and videos.
