INTRODUÇÃO E se a real atracção da Internet não forem os seus sinos e assobios de ultima geração, o seu gracioso interface e a sua avançada tecnologia que jaz sob os seus tubos e fios? E se, em vez disso, a atracção for um atavístico arremesso ao fascinio prehistórico sobre contar histórias? Há cinco mil anos, o mercado era um pólo da civilização, um lugar onde os mercadores regressavam vindos de terras remotas com especiarias exóticas, sedas, macacos, papagaios, joias - e fabulosas histórias.

Introduction

What if the real attraction of the Internet is not its cutting-edge bells and whistles, its jazzy interface or any of the advanced technology that underlies its pipes and wires? What if, instead, the attraction is an atavistic throwback to the prehistoric human fascination with telling tales? Five thousand years ago, the marketplace was the hub of civilization, a place to which traders returned from remote lands with exotic spices, silks, monkeys, parrots, jewels — and fabulous stories.

Em muitos aspectos, a Internet mais se assemelha a um bazar antigo do que se encaixa nos modelos de negócios que as empresas tentam impor. Milhões migraram para a Net num espaço de tempo incrivelmente curto, não porque era amigável - não o era - mas porque parecia oferecer alguma qualidade intangível que há muito escapava à vida moderna.

In many ways, the Internet more resembles an ancient bazaar than it fits the business models companies try to impose upon it. Millions have flocked to the Net in an incredibly short time, not because it was user-friendly — it wasn’t — but because it seemed to offer some intangible quality long missing in action from modern life.

Great post with lots of ipmotnrat stuff.

In sharp contrast to the alienation wrought by homogenized broadcast media, sterilized mass "culture," and the enforced anonymity of bureaucratic organizations, the Internet connected people to each other and provided a space in which the human voice would be rapidly rediscovered.

Apesar das corporações insistirem em vê-lo como único, o novo mercado não é necessariamente sequer um mercado de todo. Para os seus habitantes, é primariamente um lugar em que todos os participantes são audiência uns para os outros.

Though corporations insist on seeing it as one, the new marketplace is not necessarily a market at all. To its inhabitants, it is primarily a place in which all participants are audience to each other.

The entertainment is not packaged; it is intrinsic. Unlike the lockstep conformity imposed by television, advertising, and corporate propaganda, the Net has given new legitimacy — and free rein — to play.

t>0

Many of those drawn into this world find themselves exploring a freedom never before imagined: to indulge their curiosity, to debate, to disagree, to laugh at themselves, to compare visions, to learn, to create new art, new knowledge.

Pelo facto de a Internet ser tão tecnicamente eficiente, foi também adoptada pelas companhias que procuram ser mais produtivas. Elas estão, também, sedentas de sabedoria, do capital intelectual que se tornou mais valioso que a loja da rua ou que qualquer bem tangível

Because the Internet is so technically efficient, it has also been adopted by companies seeking to become more productive. They too are hungry for knowledge, for the intellectual capital that has become more valuable than bricks and mortar or any tangible asset.

Aquilo com que não contaram foi com os outros efeitos da tecnologia Web. O Hipertexto é inerentemente não-hierárquico e antiburocrático.

What they didn’t count on were the other effects of Web technology. Hypertext is inherently nonhierarchical and antibureaucratic.

Não reforça a lealdade e a obediencia; encoraja a especulação calma e a conversa solta. Encorajas as hitórias.

It does not reinforce loyalty and obedience; it encourages idle speculation and loose talk. It encourages stories.

These new conversations online — whether on the wild and wooly Internet or on (slightly) more sedate corporate intranets — are generating new ways of looking at problems.

Glad I've fnially found something I agree with!

They are spawning new perspectives, new tools, and a new kind of intellectual bravery more comfortable with risk than with regulation. The result is not just new things learned but a vastly enhanced ability to learn things.

t>0

And the pace of this learning is accelerating. In the networked marketplace it is reflected in the joy of play.

t>0

On company intranets it is reflected in the joy of knowledge. But it’s getting difficult to tell the two apart.

Employees go home and get online. They bring new attitudes back to work the next day.

Enthusiastic surfers get hired and bring strange new views into corporations that, until now, have successfully protected themselves from everything else. The World Wide Web reinforces freedom.

The Internet routes around obstacles. The confluence of these conversations is not only inevitable, it has largely already occurred.

t>0

Many companies fear these changes, seeing in them only a devastating loss of control. But control is a losing game in a global marketplace where the range of customer choice is already staggering and a suicidal game for companies that must come up with the knowledge necessary to create those market choices.

t>0

While command and control may have reached a cul-de-sac, the intersection of the market conversation with the conversation of the corporate workforce hardly signals the end of commerce.

t>0

Instead, this convergence promises a vibrant renewal in which commerce becomes far more naturally integrated into the life of individuals and communities.

This book tells a story.

Pin my tail and call me a donkey, that really heelpd.

It is the story of how these things have happened — and some powerful hints about what could happen from here on out.

We die.

You will never hear those words spoken in a television ad. Yet this central fact of human existence colors our world and how we perceive ourselves within it.

"Life is too short," we say, and it is. Too short for office politics, for busywork and pointless paper chases, for jumping through hoops and covering our asses, for trying to please, to not offend, for constantly struggling to achieve some ever-receding definition of success.

t>0

Too short as well for worrying whether we bought the right suit, the right breakfast cereal, the right laptop computer, the right brand of underarm deodorant.

Life is too short because we die.

Alone with ourselves, we sometimes stop to wonder what's important, really. Our kids, our friends, our lovers, our losses? Things change and change is often painful.

People get "downsized," move away, the old neighborhood isn't what it used to be. Children get sick, get better, get bored, get on our nerves.

Cheers pal. I do appreciate the wirting.

They grow up hearing news of a world more frightening than anything in ancient fairy tales. The wicked witch won't really push you into the oven, honey, but watch out for AK-47s at recess.

Articles like this make life so much sipmler.

Amazingly, we learn to live with it. Human beings are incredibly resilient.

t>0

We know it's all temporary, that we can't freeze the good times or hold back the bad. We roll with the punches, regroup, rebuild, pick up the pieces, take another shot.

t>0

We come to understand that life is just like that. And this seemingly simple understanding is the seed of a profound wisdom.

t>0

It is also the source of a deep hunger that pervades modern life — a longing for something entirely different from the reality reinforced by everyday experience.
