Extreme reputation model means you may not exist virtually!

Gerd Leonhard makes some great points in three minutes. Mobile driven instant feedback mechanisms may mean your business no longer exists virtually. Are we allowing our customer eco-systems to be fed a balanced diet? Whether you believe in the value of crowd sourced data or not, it can make or break a business.

New models must be adopted that enable the crowd to have more control than is traditionally allowed by old business models. Nevertheless, it’s the open source, creative commons world we are entering. We don’t have a choice. We’re on a collision course. Brace yourselves.

I am surprised that so much typical rhetoric was presented in graduation speeches around the country. With so many upheavals surrounding us on many fronts, it would appear some paradigm shifts are required to deliver us from the status quo.

One school superintendent exhorted students to pursue what they love; what they are passionate about. If this is the goal, why is the means so dreadfully presented? If I were a student, I would ask » More: The Internet is the Wormhole to the Metaverse…

What is the future of education in a wireless, gizmo-laden, gadget-rich world? It’s interesting that when machination surged during the industrial revolution, that bigger was better and stronger. To emulate human strength, machines got bigger and more powerful. However, just the opposite is occurring in the technological revolution. Since brain-power is being emulated, innovations trend smaller and smaller.

The false assumption of many is that there will be physical devices outside the body at all but for » More: Big Difference Between Industrial and Technological Revolutions

What is Web 2.0 really?

I suppose Web 1.0 was like taking a beautiful park setting and turning it into a museum for preservation and admiration. Web 2.0 was taking that same park and turning it into a playground. Web 3.0 will be the ability of individuals to customize on the fly, the same playground with equipment they enjoy. In fact, the playground may just customize itself automatically according to our tastes when we show up.

Sapient creatures depend on the powers of cognition. Humankind needs food for thought, not just for the body. Therefore, our species seeks to understand every facet of the world in which we live. We assimilate and digest an information-rich diet by which we daily reason and justify our living. Mass media provides the feeding tube to which nearly every human being is connected from the earliest stages of life. Because we are what we eat, this same mass media bears responsibility to ensure the healthy diet of our society. But does the media feed us a balanced diet? » More: Mass Media and the Environment…

We live inside a biosphere called Earth. Within this bubble are bacteria that can help or harm. There are animals that can serve or kill. There are insects that can be useful or pests. And there are people who want to preserve life and others who don’t. » More: Internet and loss of privacy…

We live inside a biosphere called Earth. Within this bubble are bacteria that can help or harm. There are animals that can serve or kill. There are insects that can be useful or pests. And there are people who want to preserve life and others who don’t.

Therefore we govern these variables to maintain balance. WE are the government as much as WE are the environment. We cannot alienate ourselves into an US versus THEM attitude.

I live in an environment where there are certain ones whose sole duty is to watch for any foreign intruder and deal with them. I don’t even know who these soldiers are and I know only vaguely » More: Privacy is an Illusion…
