Shift Happens

I believe we are in the middle of a technology perterbation. While most technorati consume themselves with Web 2.0 muse, the technology continues to be nothing but a set of tools for improving the 'expression of the crowd'. A more fundamental shift is occuring...technology is being parted out and recovered in ways that we can never anticipate. Web 2.0 is a pluralistic parting & reassembly method. To that end it accellerates the shift from a system being defined by its physical boundaries to ephemeral systems. The new e-systems are more akin to carbon-based, rather than iron or silicon-based. As these whole systems are parsed and reassembled, there will be mistakes. But as the parse becomes right, the reassembly will happen more naturally. It will look & operate more like a biological entity.
