Emotion & the Internet

You need only look as far as YouTube, flickr or Facebook to see that the future of the internet is social, educational, creative collaboration. I believe the centre of the internet, in its current state, is human emotion.
I recently came across a particular lecture, part of the TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) series of short lectures, about the emotional world of the internet. Entitled “The Web’s Secret Stories,” Jonathan Harris talks about his work in online art that visually combines, organizes and categorizes millions of examples of human emotion. His work is truly stunning, and you should check it out.
