The Syncverse
I am not a political activist. I do not now nor have I actively sought the destruction, downfall or removal of any government. I am a software architect watching the changing world around me caused by the information revolution that is the World Wide Web. Information flows over our heads every minute of every day in virtually every part of the world. From television signals to internet transmissions on wireless networks the data is there. The problem is many people can’t get the data that is already in their personal space. Sadly this is like sitting at a table full of food and being told you cannot eat. The time has come for mankind to embrace the evolution of information that is the information revolution.
With that said, the potential of the internet and the change allowing for the free access of information relative to the “’verse’s” later in the book is massive. The other side of the solution offered in this book is simply the reduction of the complexity created in the last 20 years. With competing standards and so many devices it is harder and harder every day to move forward in any direction effectively. You carry your laptop, perhaps a netbook or an Ipad or some pad type device (there are a number out there and growing). But what you really want is a way to keep everything in “sync.”
Throughout this book you will find sections of the book entitled “Limiting Issues” in those sections I will detail the issues that I have identified in the development of this book. There are sadly many more issues than are in this book, this is the starting point.
What is it about syncing that makes it such a difficult word for governments?
1.Freedom of information is closer to overall freedom than control of information is. Hence my initial statement in this book. This idea is not intended to destroy governments. In fact governments should/could be the largest sponsors the various ‘verse’s.
2.Information and education have long been neglected. No offence world, but when a baseball player makes 10 million dollars a year for throwing a baseball and a teacher has to work until they are 70 so that they can afford to retire, there is something horribly wrong. A teacher taught that teacher to become a teacher. A teacher taught that teacher to become a better teacher. But somewhere, a teacher taught that baseball player how to play.
3.Ideas like dreams are free. You cannot control them, you can simply control the flow of ideas (somewhat)
4.Anything synced to a local device cannot be controlled effectively.
It is a conundrum. If we free information and allow it to flow it will improve (more eyes = greater improvement). If we nurture and develop the greatest resources of the world, our children, in effect the world will become a better place. According to Robert Fulghum we all learn to share in Kindergarten but we over time forget that skill.
What if there is a solution in the world that allows us to share ideas, concepts and improve the lot of children throughout the world. Equality comes from children and grows to adults. Why? We have a lot of bad habits that we need to “remove” from our children.
So with this book there is no need to bar the doors and lock away your valuables. The revolution is not a revolution. We are simply looking at the technology capacity we have in the world today, that is ubiquitous. There is no place on the world we cannot reach (and a few places off world like the international space station or ISS). There is no reason why we don’t build a system that allows us to share like we did in Kindergarten.
Let’s honor our humanity by building a brave new world.
The Ramification of change and the little creek by my back door
Years ago I was a poet. It is a lonely profession where you come out at times and share your poetry with others. They may love the words, phrases and images you create or they may hate them. Regardless of the feedback a poet continues to write and over time may actually stop sharing.
