We Think, Therefore We Are

Here’s another excellent video on how the Internet is changing society.

I particularly like the following quote:

In the past, you were what you owned.
Now, you are what you share.

Put another way, we are seeing a move from hoarding information to sharing information. Traditionally, those in power held onto information because knowledge was power. The connected age reverses this. Now sharing knowledge is power.

As always, let me know what you think.

    My favorite way to sum up the shift: “Altruism over Capitalism.”
