This document provides an overview of key topics from a digital bootcamp event held in 2011, summarizing: 1) The culture of the 21st century will be defined by digital interfaces according to Lev Manovich. 2) People protested and brought down governments before social media, demonstrating social change is possible without new technologies. 3) New models of engagement and interaction are emerging as more people and organizations adopt both websites and social media.
