New, from Howard Rheingold:
This report and accompanying graphic map are offered as resources to
the developers, designers, entrepreneurs, manufacturers, operators,
service providers and activists who seek to use these new tools to
alleviate suffering, create wealth, educate, liberate, create and
inform.Although we report about technologies, the power of these tools derives
from the social practices they amplify — specifically the ways people,
machines and institutions can cooperate. These emerging digital
technologies present new opportunities to change the way people work
together to solve problems and generate wealth.
These tools needn’t widen the digital divide (see Seth’s Digerati Divide), if deployed properly. For an example of a well run multi-user structured collaboration project, see Google in your Language.
