Ungeeking the nation | Us Now screening
Ungeeking is a term used to describe the influence of online behaviors and geek culture on society as a whole, not just within the realm of technology. It is not about getting rid of coders or simply raising digital literacy, but rather understanding how the values of participation, self-organization, and information-gathering are leaking into wider society. One example is the barcamp conference format, originally developed by people with deep literacy in web 2.0 and open-source models. Overall, ungeeking is about adopting new behaviors rather than just new tools.
