2. “ The Internet is a
telephone system
that's gotten uppity. ”
—Clifford Stoll
3. Only Smarties have the answer
· Same issue with the DRM but the bundle certainly is a
good concept.
· Embrace 'free' models as long as somebody will pay
somewhere.
· NEW ANXIETIES
· Computers and digital communications are the most
direct expressions of this revolution.
4. Listen to what they say of the others and you will
know what they say about you.
Generate frictionless models
5. You know as well as anyone.
· It's specifically the Log Normal shape that leads to a
rather poverty stricken Tail.
· Put that Content under the rock again!
· If what you are doing is real and you are forthright,
people will pay you.
· We will go someway in exploring why these trends have
occurred in the next chapter.
6. “ Getting information off
the Internet is like
taking a drink from a
fire hydrant. ”
—Mitchell Kapor
7. If you want your dreams to come true, don't over
sleep.
· Mobile computers are well on the way of becoming
remote controls for our lives.
· This doesn't mean you shouldn't experiment with great
algorithms.
· The New Aesthetic is moving out of its original discovery
phase, and into a evangelical, podium-pounding phase.
· A 'life' that requires us to understand a new ontology
between human and non-human agents.
8. In conclusion
· Visualize best-of-breed mindshare
· Productize plug-and-play systems
· Scale standards-compliant metrics
· and remember: Every sin brings its punishment with it.
