Chris Anderson On Free

If you have a moment, download the audio track to this speech given by Chris Anderson (of the Long Tail & Wired) and add it to your iPod/iPhone to listen to on the way to work. Like he did with his first book, the Long Tail, Chris has started his tour of talking about the book (or the ideas in it), before he writes it.

Chris Anderson looks at the world of free and how the market is moving to a free one. He wonders if experience is the last place that companies will be able to charge for. A highlight for us is the notion that 3D printing will make physical objects free one day but we’re still a little concerned by the idea that advertising is going to pay for much of all this (And what will they be advertising? More free products supported by advertising??).
