SHORT TERM FUTURISM: ALL CONNECTED, ALL THE TIME
From the Eide Neurolearning Blog we get an article from IT heavyweights hailing the coming of the uberconnected society with all the important socioeconomic and psychological paradigmatic shifts that entails. I previously speculated on " The Coming of the Global Hypereconomy" and Tom Barnett's special edition newsletter features an IT specialist and scientist Dr. Stephen DeAngelis on the emerging tech of Rule-set compliance.
I also note that blogfriend Stu Berman has published a piece on IT security in Network Magazine called " Take my Social Security Number - Please!" that complements the above topics nicely and puts the accent correctly on individuals, not the state, controlling their information profile. ¶ 6:05 AM

Thanks for the kind words, Mark.
The Wharton article is dead on - as is your H-NET post - thanks for the references.
The shifts within IT today are titanic and rush forth faster than the creators have imagined. Application development is fleeing enterprises and being replaced by hosting services, putting fear into the very same developers that wrought such changes. The changes they enabled and fostered are in turn creating great personal uncertainty about their own futures.
As humans can we only tolerate so much change during our generation? Our parents and grandparents thought the pace of change was unsurpassed - they might have to change their environment a few times during their life - today we may experience the rate of changes they felt in 30 years in a few short years.
