Abstract
Lars Dalgaard is on stage in San Francisco, pouring bits of fruit in to a liquidizer. The fruit has been placed in various containers marked with “ingredients” such as engagement, collaboration, scalability and Web 2.0. Finally he pours in some yoghurt and presses the mix button.
We can never wholly separate the human from the mechanical sides.
Mary Parker Follett (1868–1933)
