Part of a web dialog

The impact of the Internet and the Web go far beyond a business tool, a communications tool or a research resource. They have helped humanity to start to understand the scientific discoveries of the 20th century – even though most of us don’t realize it.

It is only when we comprehend and apply new insights that humanity can grow and reach its potential. It was the application of scientific discoveries of the Renaissance that set the stage for the Industrial Age and led to the remarkable achievements of the 20th century.

The web helps us understand how everything can be interconnected, as a quantum understanding of the world has shown. Hence we can better appreciate our role in life and how our decisions and actions impact others and the world - modifying our actions as appropriate.

We experience the Web’s and life’s apparent chaos and how in its complexity it self-organizes. A person asks a question on the Web, people respond, a blogger runs with it, groups form, things change.

We experience and see the difference between power and influence. The web is not controlled by anyone, has no real power (it does not control armies) but has extraordinary influence that can and has changed the world.

By its very existence and nature it demonstrate both the need for an and the application of being flexible, adaptable, and response – vital qualities for success in the 21st century.

“It is a technological expression of the human need for relationship. It represents, figuratively and literally, all of us arrayed in a dynamic, interconnected, self-organizing network that pulses with intellectual, emotional and financial energy. The Web reveals, in awkward technological terms, our own nature and the nature of our world..”
