Living the experiment

Are you afraid?
Sometimes you have to wonder if you can keep up. Other times you know very well that you can’t. Every day—literally—we learn about or stumble across new twists in the online environment. New online communities, new video channels, new aggregators and interpreters, new personalities, new scams and scandals and tools and opportunities.
Twitter and Pownce and Google and Seesmic and Facebook and iTunes and Flickr and Gawker and YouTube and all forever and ever amen. All crying for our attention and our time. We’re in the middle of a technological tornado which is swirling faster and faster and will anything short of some global disaster ever stop it?
Think of where we were just 20 years ago, then 10 years ago, then now, and think about where we’re going and if you’re really thinking about it, some part of you has to be scared. Sure you’re excited but you know you’re not in control.
We’re just riding the beast. The beast is going faster.
Do not close your eyes.
