Embrace the Swarm
Kevin Kelly explains in chapter 1 that speed in which computers
are being connected and data is being processed relates directly
to the concept of the new economy. The size of silicon chips and
it’s various uses are growing at a significant pace. The increasing
number of uses for logical data in everyday life is staggering.
Everything is being connected to everything. Desktop computers
are quickly becoming obsolete. Stand alone data is being replaced
with swarms of information that is being processed through high
speed networks, hence the network economy. The new economy
came about by exploiting and exploring the power of decentralized
and autonomous networks. The more that this networking
succeeds, the less we notice it. New technologies are becoming
transparent in everyday life. Real-time applications utilize this
swarm of data to the point where it is hardly noticed. Small amounts
of information can become more if we learn to embrace the swarm.
