This past March, Involution's Dirk Knemeyer spoke at [TEDxDenisonU](http://denison.edu/campus/get-involved/whats-happening/tedxdenisonu) as part of a series entitled “Real Utopias: From Dreams to Practice.”

In “Utopia in our Pocket” Dirk proposes that, thanks to the proliferation of the smartphone, we can start to think about radical changes that will fundamentally shift the way we live for the better. He charges his young audience to consider how they can participate in exploring and leveraging technology for truly meaningful change in our world.
