Netness - Cyborg Anthropology

Everything wants to be connected (or at least to be able to “converse” frictionlessly on an ad hoc basis)
-
The more things are connected (able to communicate) the better things work.
-
As connectivity becomes ubiquitous, systems (networks) become fields… connectivity fields…
-
A new class or state of connectivity is emerging which i’ve been calling “entangled” (many threaded, loosely but deeply connected) as in entangled conversations, lives, communities, networks…
-
As networks become fields, as lives and things become entangled, two worlds > the world of atoms and the world of bits < become one, greatly enhancing future opportunity and potential capability of all participants
- The ability to connect, coordinate, collaborate and share easily everywhere on an ad hoc basis is now replacing Moore’s Law as the most important source of opportunity.”
