Douglas Rushkoff and the Terror of Modern Time

Douglas Rushkoff thinks you're doing time wrong. • Over the course of 20 years, 15 books, and countless speeches and articles, the famed media theorist has established quite a following among technophiles. But while his past books warned about the perils and responsibilities of digital citizenship, his latest book -- Present Shock: When Everything Happens Now -- is all about time. More specifically, it's about how people are ruining their lives by approaching time in unhealthy ways. • Sound a bit heady? Don't worry. To slow things down a bit, we took Mr. Rushkoff to Sutton Clocks, a sales and repair shop for antique timepieces on the Upper East Side. There, amidst the ticks and tocks, Mr. Rushkoff told us how misunderstanding time can cripple a workforce and tempt you to make dumb decisions. • (Film produced, filmed, and edited by Abraham Riesman: http://abrahamriesman.com)
