The new cyberculture requires more than the expansion of boundaries. After all, you can’t think outside of a box that doesn’t exist. The new world order 3.0 is a boundaryless realm where explorers seek to navigate and adapt. However these new explorers are not interested in staking a claim on some territory. Their ownership surrounds experiences shared among their chosen cohorts. Social networks are not just for keeping up appearances but for sharing experiences as a means to express identity. Location is not physical nor planar, but temporal and experimental.
The new workplace is bottom up; not top down with heavy management. It’s collaborative, adaptive, and the only constant is change. Images are virtual, digital, and as random as the weather. Want a tried and true brand with a recognized logo? Forget it! The old way is untrusted by the new mashup culture that seeks fresh experience above all else. What’s coming is unavoidable. We will all be assimilated. Get ready for the unpredictable. Brace yourself for the uncertain future. That’s what explorers do. They thrive on the prospects of the unknown. They are wired for this.(posted 12/7/08)
