We Think

Charles Leadbeater - We Think



I think this is indeed true. I agree with what its saying in the video.

"Information is everywhere", and to me, the web is like a massive brain which stores information from everyone (who's willing to share their information of course) and everywhere.

"New ideas usually come through conversations" and because "More ideas being shared by more people than ever", it leads to mass innovation.

"Mass innovation comes from communities"
"It's like building a bird's nest, where everyone leaves their piece", just like people from different communities sharing/leaving information and ideas on the web which motivate innovation and creativity.

"That should be good for - Democracy because more people will have a voice; -equality because knowledge can be set free to help people who need it"

Yet country like China who has approx. 298 million people have internet access do not have the right to speak even on the web. They have lots of online media restrictions and many of those famed media sites such as Youtube and Facebook are blocked from the government.

Also,
"How do we protect what is private?"
"Are we always safe sharing?"
"How do we earn a living when everyone is freely sharing their ideas?"

So, What do We Think. What do You Think?
