Emergent Futures →
In a fast moving modern world there is real value in being able to think better about the future and be more open to the possibilities before you.
In Modernism, reality used to validate media. In Postmodernism, the media validate reality. If you don’t believe this, just think how many times you’ve described some real event as being ‘just like a movie.’
The number one benefit of information technology is that it empowers people to do what they want to do. It lets people be creative. It lets people be productive. It lets people learn things they didn’t think they could learn before, and so in a sense it is all about potential.

Promoting the Car Phone, Despite Risks
Martin Cooper, who developed the first portable cellphone, recalled testifying before a Michigan state commission about the risks of talking on a phone while driving.Common sense, said Mr. Cooper, a Motorola engineer, dictated that drivers keep their eyes on the road and hands on the wheel.
Commission members asked Mr. Cooper what could be done about risks posed by these early mobile phones.
“There should be a lock on the dial,” he said he had testified, “so that you couldn’t dial while driving.”
The Power Of Us
Mass collaboration on the Internet is shaking up business
The 35 employees at Meiosys Inc., a software firm in Palo Alto, Calif., didn’t know they were joining a gang of telecom-industry marauders. They just wanted to save a few bucks. Last year they began using Skype, a program that lets them make free calls over the Internet, with better sound quality than regular phones, using headsets connected to their PCs. Callers simply click on a name in their Skype contact lists, and if the person is there, they connect and talk just like on a regular phone call. “Better quality at no cost,” exults Meiosys Chief Executive Jason Donahue. Poof! Almost 90% of his firm’s $2,000 monthly long-distance phone bill has vanished. With 41 million people now using Skype, plus 150,000 more each day, it’s no wonder AT&T (T ) and MCI Inc. (MCIP ) are hanging it up.
