Connected Knowledge

The interconnectivity of living organisms and the planet is brought to light through the development of digital intelligence of the planet.
This lecture tells the story of how this started with early computing and chaos theory, and developed through models of how humans move around and inhabit different parts of the world, to open data systems.
Stories from the voyages of Darwin and the first global explorers, to the new space science illustrate the different ways in which new knowledge is received by society.
