Freedom to Connect
David Isenberg's Freedom to Connect (F2C) conference is taking shape. Take a look.
Complete connection, to everyone, all the time, isn't the optimal state for any network. The most creative networks are the ones that are sparsely connected, allowing interesting and unexpected things to happen. I'm not confident that more connection, for its own sake, is the top priority. Certainly freedom to choose to be connected is crucial.
Freedom to tinker — now, there's a crucial freedom. EFF's recent announcement of Endangered Gizmos caught my eye. Watch for even more gizmos to join the endangered list, as law enforcement and the content industry join forces to turn the internet into a telephone network.
It's just not fair.
