Dear Chris,

This intro text (my chosen excerpt first, full text below) to the film
Connected seems worth sharing,

Could you publish this excerpt, with embedded trailer, to the p2p blog? any
time after sept 23?

The concept of interdependence isn’t new; it’s been around since the dawn of
humanity. For two-hundred-thousand years, we’ve been connecting through
networks both natural and technological. Interdependence has long been a
tenet of Eastern philosophy and indigenous cosmologies. But the recent
addition of the Internet has added a new layer, which connects us in a fresh
way, giving the world a new type of central nervous system. Something
happens in one place, and we can see it, feel it, and do something about it
almost instantaneously.

Technology is clearly changing us, especially the way we connect with our
friends, families, and the world around us. It has this huge potential. But
technology has also led to some of the biggest problems of our day. It’s
accelerating our connectedness in ways we can’t even predict or be
completely aware of. Take the honeybees and their well-documented
disappearance. Albert Einstein predicted that if honeybees were to
disappear, humanity would be gone in four years. Several theories explain
why the honeybees are disappearing—toxic chemicals being the most likely
cause—but the impacts of an entirely new grid of human-induced
electromagnetic energy has also been proposed as the culprit. New books such
as Nicholas Carr’s *The Shallows* and Sherry Turkle’s *Alone Together
*highlight
studies that show how our behaviors and brains are negatively affected by a
24/7 digitally connected world. The sociopolitical warnings in Eli Pariser’s
*The Filter Bubble* and Evgeny Mozrozov’s *The Net Delusion* are another
concern.

My father, Leonard Shlain, loved to quote Sophocles: “Nothing vast enters
the life of mortals without a curse.” From the beginning of time, every new
technological advancement has brought with it a complex mix of positive and
negative repercussions as well as unintended consequences. I set out to make
a film that addresses the potential of our twenty-first-century technologies
and the importance of harnessing their powers. I also wanted to examine what
can happen when these new technologies take over and sometimes overwhelm our
personal lives. What does it mean to be *connected* in the twenty-first
century? How can we use the power of all these connections to turn things
around for the better? I titled the film *Connected: **An Autoblogography
about Love, Death, and Technology*, and I asked my father to cowrite the
project with me.

*Overlooking the Personal*

My dad was a surgeon but also a pioneer in writing about the connections
between science, consciousness, the human brain, art, and civilization. His
best-selling books include *The Alphabet Versus the Goddess*;* Sex, Time,
and Power*; and* Art and Physics. *He was an incredible visionary who had a
wonderful knowledge of history, and I felt he would make an enormous
contribution to the film. He was one of the people who taught me to look for
connections in the first place. He searched for patterns that gave insight
into why we do what we do.

His first book, *Art and Physics*, drew parallels between breakthroughs in
art and breakthroughs in science. He found examples of this throughout
history—such as the way Cubism challenged viewers’ notions about space and
time right before Einstein published his theory about space and time and the
way the artist Seurat started to paint with tiny dots around the same time
that scientists were theorizing the existence of molecules. In *The Alphabet
Versus the Goddess*, he presented evidence that showed whenever the alphabet
and literacy were introduced into a society, they overstimulated the
analytic left hemisphere of the brain and shifted the balance of power
between men and women to favor patriarchal models. He traced this pattern
throughout the centuries, finding links between the onset of literacy and
the oppression of women throughout the world.

For years he and I talked about making a film together, so when I started
researching all these connections and how we could use them to help solve
our problems, it was natural to ask him to be on the team. We were
researching and writing and sharing drafts, and then one day, when I called
to talk to him about the movie, he didn’t pick up. It turns out he had been
rushed to the hospital after suffering a stroke. He was diagnosed with stage
IV brain cancer and given nine months to live.

All of a sudden, I was asking lots of new questions. I quickly realized that
here I was, writing about all these interrelationships, and the one great
connection I had overlooked was the emotional one. That’s when I began the
difficult process of rewriting the film to include my personal story of
connection, which I wove into the bigger story of connection throughout
history and where I think we are heading.

*Technology’s Seduction—and Potential*

When I was twenty-one, I attempted my first feature film, *Zoli’s Brain*. I
used magic surrealism to tell a story about the brain. It was my first big
failure and, as I look back, one of the most important experiences of my
life. It clearly reflected my interest in the brain. Now, almost twenty
years later, there’s so much we still don’t know about the human brain. It’s
one of the most complex biological systems on earth, consisting of 100
billion neurons and processing 70,000 thoughts a day. We do know that the
brain is designed to seek connection with others.

I am especially interested in the relationship between our brains and the
addictive force of the new technologies. I found clues about this
relationship in my reading about the hormone *oxytocin*, which the brain
releases when humans connect with each other. Oxytocin decreases fear and
anxiety; creates empathy, trust, and cooperation; and reinforces our urge to
connect. The human brain is also designed to seek pleasure because of a
hormone called *dopamine*. Researchers now know that the brain releases
dopamine when new information is received. So every click, search, text, or
Tweet has the potential to stimulate the same hormonal rush as sex, drugs,
and rock’n’roll. But an interesting thing happens with dopamine—we never
feel fully satiated. It’s called an *infinite dopamine loop*, which leaves
us constantly wanting more. The combined release of oxytocin and dopamine
when we are plugged into cyberspace helps explain humans’ insatiable hunger
for knowledge, approval, and being constantly connected. [See David
Rock’s *Your
Brain at Work*.] It also explains my sneaking off to the bathroom to e-mail
and Tweet when I’m having lunch with a friend!

Technology is vast and has so much potential, but it’s also a curse. Our
attention is pulled in so many directions that connecting widely can
sometimes cost us the opportunity to connect deeply. So how do we prioritize
our attention—know when to plug in mindfully and when to unplug—because we
can’t escape these technologies? [See Matthew Gilbert’s article “A
Twittering of Consciousness<http://noetic.org/blog/twittering-consciousness-part-ii/>
.”]

I’ve started practicing what I call “technology Shabbats” with my family.
Every Friday at sundown, our whole family disconnects until Saturday night.
No cell phones, no Internet, no television, no iPads, no multitasking. We
disconnect completely—or should I say we connect completely with ourselves
and one another. I am learning that turning off technology is just as
powerful as turning it on, and that our society needs both. Technology can
be so enticing and overwhelming, but we also need to remember how important
it is both to be fully present with the people we love and to be alone and
present to ourselves. The potential of technology, globally and personally,
is exponential, but we also need to know where the off switch is.

During the poignant time of making my film, I was reading my father’s new
manuscript on Leonardo da Vinci. He proposes that in every species an
occasional genetic mutation occurs that offers a unique glimpse into where
the species might be headed. He believed da Vinci himself offered that
glimpse, showing us what human beings can achieve when they synthesize the
left and the right hemispheres of the brain. I loved this idea. All of a
sudden, the answer to how we might use our increasing connectedness to
tackle our problems became clearer. Five hundred years after da Vinci, the
Internet might be giving us a glimpse into the future of our species.

Even in its infancy, the Internet is helping each of us to synthesize the
two hemispheres of our brain. Clicking through the explosion of textual
information activates the left hemisphere, while linking from page to page
and video to video stimulates the right hemisphere. I believe that the
Internet is literally changing the way we think, moving us through a
constantly evolving landscape of words and images at the touch of a
keystroke, which synthesizes the two hemispheres of our brain. If this
rewiring is happening on an individual level to each person who uses the
web, imagine the cumulative global effect of this synthesis. Today there are
close to 2 billion people online. What would the world look like if everyone
on the planet could be online? It’s not that far away. There are already 5
billion cell phones on the planet!

*The Era of Interdependence*

It’s time to shift our perspective. In many ways, we as a species are
mirroring the way we each develop as individual humans. We come into the
world completely dependent on our parents. As we grow up, we evolve into
independent adults; we live on our own, get our own jobs, and provide for
our families. But this independence brings us to a new realization of how
connected we are to family, friends, and community. I think that as a
species we are evolving to understand our interdependence. Perhaps all these
new tools we’re creating for collaborating through the Internet are leading
us to this understanding, or perhaps the understanding is driving us to
create these tools. Regardless of what’s propelling it, thinking and living
*interdependently* will actually change our consciousness and help us create
real transformation worldwide.

To demonstrate this interdependence, I’ve created a new project—*Let it
Ripple*—that picks up where *Connected *leaves off. This will be a series of
six short films linked together by the overall theme of connectedness. The
first film, *A Declaration of Interdependence, *is based on the United
States’ Declaration of Independence. My colleagues and I posted and Tweeted
our new declaration <http://connectedthefilm.com/interdependence/> on July
4, inviting people across the world to submit videos of themselves—whether
from their cell phones, laptops, or whatever was handy—in which they read
the declaration in their native language. We also asked graphic designers
and artists to interpret the words creatively and to submit their artwork.
The submissions are blowing me away. It’s interdependence in action. The
film will be made up entirely of these submissions, edited down to a
three-minute clip and tied together by our animator, Stefan Nadelman, and
music by one of my favorite sound artists, Moby. *A Declaration of
Interdependence *will premiere on September 12—Interdependence Day—at a
special event near Ground Zero in New York. We are also distributing this
film for free, allowing organizations and nonprofits to put their own
call-to-action at the end of it.

In sharing these messages of connectedness and interdependence, I believe
there will be a positive ripple effect—sparks that will help turn what we’re
talking about into action. It’s all about connection—connecting ideas, data,
and cultures from millions of brains into a global thinking structure with
infinite possibilities. Every text, hyperlink, and Tweet is like a neural
synapse firing out to everyone we’re connected to. And with each connection,
we get a surge of oxytocin, as if the Internet were creating a global
network for oxytocin to flow. It will make us more empathetic, inclined to
share, collaborate, and connect even more. The Internet is rewiring our
brains to think interdependently, changing the way we connect to the world,
online and offline.

I remember what my mother taught me when she was studying
psychology—emotional connection drives everything we do. So if we can just
channel that emotional connection, we will be compelled to work together to
solve the problems we face and take humanity to the next level. We’re at the
beginning of a participatory revolution, in which people’s ideas are free to
interact, reproduce, and cross-pollinate instantaneously, creating new
hybrid ideas that combine perspectives from all over the world.

As we become more connected, we’ll be able to see the cause and effect of
our actions in real time—what we buy, donate, eat, and throw away. We’re
just starting to unlock and share information about the trillions of things
that we’ve made in this world. Once we understand the supply chains and see
the links in our actions, we’ll be more thoughtful and conscious of our
behavior. I believe in our innate ability to change for the better. Look at
the end of slavery and apartheid, the women’s rights and civil rights
movements, and other political and social transformative movements in the
last few hundred years, and you can see that we are indeed evolving. Two
things make me optimistic: human beings are curious, and we have a deep
desire to connect.

by Tiffany Shlain

Fifteen years ago I founded the Webby Awards <http://www.webbyawards.com/>.
I was fascinated by how the Internet was connecting people all over the
world in new and unexpected ways. I have also been struck by the many
conversations about the problems of our day that view them as separate
challenges—whether the environment, women’s rights, poverty, or social
justice. It has become increasingly apparent to me that when you perceive
everything as connected, it radically shapes your perspective.

The concept of interdependence isn’t new; it’s been around since the dawn of
humanity. For two-hundred-thousand years, we’ve been connecting through
networks both natural and technological. Interdependence has long been a
tenet of Eastern philosophy and indigenous cosmologies. But the recent
