What’s the networked society (in any given local area)? Ericsson (and other high tech companies) might hint that it includes the people and devices connecting imaginatively using cool technology (mobility, internet, cloud) and I certainly believe that’s a key pillar.
Could it be even wider in an Avatar-type way – the collective consciousness and aspirations of people and planet(s) and their various creations and constructs? The interdependent ebb and flow of energy and attention, pro-creation and co-creation? The green ways of self-actualisation and expression that are river channels, airways, highways and byways, radio frequency channels, TV media satellites, internet and fibres, animal veins and business arteries, stock exchanges and electronic payments systems, steams of binary digits and data-mined insights, traditional religious ceremonies, christmas charity appeals, volunteer causes, and internet dares that grab the imagination?
Which are the green ways and rainbow waves of the networked society to you?
