Carnegie Mellon Student Gives a Lift to Lessig’s Ideas

MAKE: Jordan Harrison, a very talented graduate student at Carnegie Mellon University, decided he could improve the video presentation of some of Lawrence Lessig’s ideas. For those of you who might not know, Lessig is one of the most astute systems thinkers on the planet. He passionately believes we’re doing it all wrong and we could be doing it right.

Always great to see a SOD student recognized like that for their work. I think that Jordan did a really nice job of supporting Lessig's talk with graphics that I found to be compelling but not distracting. I think that the video conveys and emphasizes Lessig's excellent points in an efficient way. I'm a sucker for infographics of all sorts, and I like them even better when set in video format.
