Tom Scott - Elevate Festival 2013 - 23-27 October 2013

Tom Scott

Tom Scott makes things with lines of code, video editing tools, and a few meters of network cable. The projects he’s built have been seen and enjoyed by millions of people, and he’s featured in media around the world, including BBC1, Time Magazine, Newsweek, Forbes, CNN.com, Al Jazeera, and dozens of others. Tom talks about the internet, about the accelerating pace of change, about how to deal with social media, and occasionally about tea cozies. He once got in trouble with the government for mocking one of its projects, and he was a part-time pirate for most of his adult life.
