It was after Chris Anderson's "Long Tail" book arrived. Weinberger expressed his concerns about, in a granular media world, the potential for people speaking into narrow echo chambers. He asked the question: What's the future for broad discourse on issues of critical public concern? I've also heard Andrew McAfee make the case for haves and have nots in terms of those enterprizes that adopt the technologies he defines as Enterprise 2.0 vs those that don't. If I translate McAfee's research and writing correctly I believe he argues that because technology is so embedded in business peformance these days, not adopting translates to competitive disadvantage. I'd like to better understand your 3rd point that is certainly attention getting. Are you suggesting that not participating and having profiles that define our identities in public online spaces (like Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter) can potentially be a negative for your reputation and "security reasons'? Much to consider in your comment indeed. Francis, your questions are all thoughtprovoking and thanks for informing the discussion,

The question will be what happens to those who choose to live "off the grid" in the same sense as today someone choosing not to have a television, phone, etc., and more importantly if, "for security reasons," a person will be allowed to live without "big brothers" recognition. Spooky. Fascinating, thanks for the reference.
