Douglas Rushkoff gestures energetically at a podium during a presentation, with a dark background. The event is identified as taking place at SXSW 2010. He speaks: "When I look at the world, when I look at the economy, or religion, or government, or corporations, I am filled with the overwhelming sense that we are attempting to operate our society on obsolete code, on software—and I don't just mean our computer software, I mean our social software—on software that are basically legacy systems to legacies we don't even remember, and that they're completely inappropriate to what it is we want to get done. If we can't understand these programs, the programs in our computers, in this world that we're spending a lot of our time in, then we don't stand a chance of even recognizing those programs. These programs are built on top of the old software. This helps that old software work. This is built on top of the economy. It's built on top of central banking. It's built on top of our current government structures. And if we can't see through this, then we'll never see that."
