This is the presentation I will use to discuss issues at the NESC 2009 Forum in Canberra. My aim was to use as many images as possible to illustrate ideas. I tried to reduce my use of words and included all the references I drew upon, particularly in regard to Flickr Creative Commons images.

Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference

connect with other people
with whom we can share,
exchange and create new
knowledge ... The principle
underlying the web is ...
endless, lateral connection.

81. First Thesis
We know a great deal...
with a surprising
understanding of the world.
81

82. 82

83. Second Thesis
Our ignorance is sobering and
boundless... we discover that
where we believed that we
were standing on firm and safe
ground, all things are insecure
and in a state of flux.

106. The more complex societies get and the more complex the
networks of interdependence within and beyond community and
national borders get, the more people are forced in their own
interests to find non-zero-sum solutions. That is, win–win
solutions instead of win–lose solutions.... Because we find as our
interdependence increases that, on the whole, we do better when
other people do better as well — so we have to find ways that we
can all win, we have to accommodate each other....
(Bill Clinton, 2000)

111. email is based on open standards, and it's the
lowest common denominator for Internet
communication. Any communication system that
wishes to supplant email will need to offer both
openness and ubiquity, and nothing available
today comes even close.
