Welcome to the world WE THINK
Thanks to the web millions of people can have their say
Information is hidden everywhere: websites, blogs, videos, wikis
... which is prety confusing
Everyone is talking at the same time
But Ideas take life when the are shared
The web gets really creative when people pool their ideas
Then they start to be really creative
Because new ideas usually come through conversations
and the Web is a mass of conversations
That's why it is creating mass innovation
The 20th century = MASS production for MASS consumption
(Factories, cars, TVs, fridges ...)
The 21st century = MASS innovation
More ideas being shared by more people than ever before
The first signs of what is possible are
Wikipedia and Linux, Slashdot, oh my news and World of Warcraft
Millions of people creating games, worlds, knowledge, information, software
Old groaning corporations are the wrong shape to do this
They looked like this
Pyramids
Mass innovation comes from communities
Which look more like this
Its like building a birds nest
Where everyone leaves their piece
And why are people drawn to these communities?
Not to get rich ...
They want to socialize and get recognition for the work they do
The motto of the generation growing up with the web is ...
WE THINK THEREFORE WE ARE
That should be good for
Democracy because more people will have a voice
Equality because knowledge can be set free to help people who need it but cannot pay ...
Freedom because more people will know what it's like to be creative
That sounds like utopia
And there is a lot to be worked out
How do we protect what is private?
Are we always safe sharing?
What if wikipedia is crap?
How do we earn a living when everyone is freely sharing theis ideas ...
In the past you were what you owned
Now you are what you share ..
What do you think?

We are what we share
