Getting people together across multiple timezones and several countries to have a meaningful conversation is now ridiculously easy. Sometimes we forget just how revolutionary this is.

Indeed.

"Knowledge is power", or so it is said. And the creation, use and distribution of what is built or discovered together as knowledge spreads and grows.

Does that or will that have fundamental impact on our ways of organizing and structuring and carrying out a wide range of human captivities ? It seems as if it might.

And that will mean shifts in power, authority and taking of responsibility as understood in the prior-to-networks eras, towards an environment wherein our agreements with each other about what and what to do, with who and by when will become our core structures (arguably, they already are, we will just 'see' much more of why that is so).
