Survivability in networks

Just gave a talk and participated in a discussion at the london Advance For Design
on what happens next for interaction/experience designers in the
current difficult times. A little random, but I think it went down
well. Some of the org. design I did in my last days at Sapient
(informed by some of the themes in this presentation) seems to be
getting put in place (a year later!) which is encouraging.

Self-organise yo’self a CLUE… “Reputed

Self-organise yo’self a CLUE…

“Reputed ballbusting megalomaniac Don Tapscott has made
a breathtaking discovery: “Self-organizing communities.” They come as a
revelation to executives whose entire knowledge of the Web dates back
to 1997 and revolves around Microsoft MSN Hotmail, Microsoft Internet
Explorer, and Microsoft Outlook. To this clientele, the only Internet
is the corporate Internet. The only sites they know are those subject
to extensive ad campaigns and regular coverage on CNN, which indeed is
now the proprietor or competitor of nearly all such corporate sites.

It astounds these ignoramuses that “consumers,” the only
audience they could imagine for any Web site, would dare defy the
instructions of marketing and read what they want without being
herded.”
