I can
search a thought and
see the
number of people who
have had
the same thought before me.
Not looking
to leaders, but curators
who can
efficiently signal where to
find the
good stuff.
Information
is the
truth value
of a proposition.
The collective externalized mind.
Giving you information faster than you can retrieve it from
memory.
We have
become Hunter Gatherers
of Images
& Info.
The
internet delocalizes your community.
You
participate from wherever you are.
Our sense
of orientation, space + place
have
changed – our sense of the details necessary to make decisions has changed.
A life that
generates its
own
electronic shadow.
We are
instruments of our
own
surveillance.
The
internet takes advantage
of our
appetites.
Hope to see you there!
