AT THE CORE OF THE HUMAN INTERNET
ARE FOUR NEW POTENTIALS:
•
The capacity for FLOW,
as technologies work
together to create a
seamless environment
for human interaction
•
The ability to SENSE,
as human-machine
interfaces leverage all
our human senses to
become more intuitive
and even invisible
• The facility to CONTROL,
as we amplify our human
ability to direct, redirect,
and restrain a more
dynamic and organic
internet
•
The proclivity to
EMERGE, as the internet
unleashes itself from
creators' intentions and
develops in unexpected
and transformative ways
This INTERNET HUMAN....HUMAN INTERNET MAP traces the new geometry of the internet that these potentials will
create over the next decade. It highlights the foundational technologies that give rise to them and offers a set of
combinatorial forecasts that explore amazing intersections of possibilities never before imaginable. Finally it identifies the critical tensions that may lead to conflicts and wicked dilemmas as we build our reality around this new
geometry.
