Webosophy: web (re)thinking and web pratices
The information society
One could say:
Microblogging is a lovely break through in technology, it’s quick and easy and unintrusive, which is what a lot of people look for online these days.
On the other hand, one can argue that microblogging is pervasive: it’s morphosing society by osmosis.
It’s creating feedback loops for information on a global scale in a fraction of a second.
In the past new scientific data took 50 years to get to the general public, now it can be shared knowledge on the moment it’s publicated by anyone interested in the field.
Thus we could say that this humble way of communication is revolutionizing society by creating a new sort of expertise: knowledge mining.
In this time is the essence, because it seems humanly impossible to englobe all the knowledge out here on the net.
Every service competes for our time, just like any living being we know demands and needs some of it.
The big quest is to define our mission in life. The niche market of competence we’re experts in.
Many times, mere coïncidence is at the bottom of our resolutions.
Once we have ‘written’ our script, we make the future of mankind.
Be it for the worst (Hitler ‘Mein Kampf’) or for the best (Buddha and his teachings).
