Focusing On What Matters, at Fluent, 2017

We work and live in a bubble. Our limited perspective of what it means to use technology influences the way we build, the tools we use, and the tasks we prioritize. In the process, we risk losing the most powerful thing about the internet: its ubiquity. Tim discusses the importance of broadening our perspective and makes the case for not losing sight of the fundamentals that make or break the web for people around the globe, and down the street.
