If immediate sharing of information between networks were permitted to support the concept of being open, this could negatively impact the most profitable network as they would no longer have exclusive information that sets them apart from other networks. Financial supporters would have no need to pay a premium for a network that performs and provides services just as equally as the rest.

Of course, a non capital-based society could resolve this dillema.

In Brazil, a Journalist Blog can be the difference between life and death for a Journalist, because, by way of his own Blog, a Journalist has the HUMAN RIGHT TO WRITE.

Congratulations for your Freedom to Write.

At the same time, as you are a Journalist, and thanking you in advance for your kind attention, I would like to inform you about the following subject, since it already affects Latin America, as a whole:

“On behalf of the Constitution of Honduras, is this complaint signed by this Journalist in the FBI against Barack Hussein Obama:

Barack Hussein Obama, in full knowledge of his falsity, and in reckless disregard of the Constitution of Honduras – BY WAY OF WHICH ZELAYA WAS IMPEACHED;

Barack Hussein Obama, in full knowledge of his falsity, and in reckless disregard of the Constitution of Honduras – AFTER ZELAYA IMPEACHMENT – publicly stated:

- 'Zelaya is the President of Honduras' –

Barack Hussein Obama, in full knowledge of his falsity, and in reckless disregard of the Constitution of Honduras,

FROM THEN ON supports Zelaya inconstitutional and ilegal presidency.

Barack Hussein Obama, in full knowledge of his falsity, and in reckless disregard of the Constitution of Honduras, – FROM THEN ON IMPEACHED THE CONSTITUTION OF HONDURAS.”

He concludes that broadcast media should become curators of social media. If found this a compelling article and thought it very relevant to this discussion:

You have touch on many topics, evolution of new media, information overload, fragmentation, accountability of government, transparency, technology as a platform for democracy, in short the Digital revolution. (in its social sense).

It's true, technology does bring forth amazing possibilities, it enables ways to share, connect and express, never known before to mankind, sadly enough still not known to much of mankind, actually only 27 to 30% of the people in 1st world countries and some emerging economies have access to broad band and even then a significantly less number actually relate and understand, how to put to use these technologies.

For example not sure if you have seen this: http://tinyurl.com/nfhub6

Ergo, it's not an easy proposition, you have so many social outlets, that contest with the thing I like to call “Social Intelligence”, that which is created when we all add up to the sum of a greater thing than ourselves, that which represents the road for the greater good.

Connecting, and interacting is important how we do it?, and how long it lasts? is vital, we have so minimal attention spans that everything is focused on a fast paced not to deep experience. And yes quite fragmented.

Nevertheless its proven than when exposed to audio, video and interaction, retention of data is not only enhanced but augmented by 3 fold, thus of course we are on the verge of a new way of being, but the issues arising from the digital divide, create the sort of back log that we carry around. And it is a heavy weight to lift.

Until we are able to use all of this technologies to educate, and propagate, a common base of knowledge (democratizing the access to wealth and knowledge), and thus allow to open the eyes of the many to the limitless possibilities of technology, we will not evolve as fast or as steady as is required to support a real implementation of the Human 2.0! (singularity any one?)

Anyway this is a topic that could span for pages and pages, it is deep and transcendental and should be followed up and expanded in the debate to as many minds as possible in order to illuminate a new way of thinking, communicating and being, a true 21st century realization of who? and what? we are as a specie and where? should we all aim to be at in the future of the future that we all hoped to live and are in now but lacks the hope we once had for it.

That hope has its torch in persons like you and so many other untold heroes in the new media arena, that march on breaking barriers, not afraid to explore and venture into a better tomorrow.

Cheers

Now, the interesting part is how this is founded on the premise of secrecy. So what happens if you allow people and businesses to interact with one another, but through public forums where there is implicit trust. I mean, will our legal system (which ultimately reflects our values) conclude that conspiracies can't take place in the public square?

If so, there could be some exciting possibilities for communication. The technology is certainly there to connect almost any business function in any company to one another. But in a world where my saying that “yeah we didn't buy from company X” is treated as anticompetitive behavior against company X, all the technology and democracy in the world won't enable real idea sharing.

Thanks for the post
