Nomic World: By the players, for the
players 05/26/2004 03:15 PM
[This is an edited version of the talk I gave last fall at the State of Play conference.] I'm sort of odd-man-out in a Games and Law conference, in that my primary area of inquiry isn't games but social software. Not only am I not a lawyer, I don't even spend most of my time thinking about game problems. I spend my time thinking about software that supports group interaction across a fairly wide range of social patterns. So, instead of working from case law out, which has been a theme here (and here's where I insert the "I am not a lawyer" disclaimer) I'm going to propose a thought experiment looking from the outside in. And I want to pick up on something that Julian [Dibbell] said earlier about game worlds: 'users are the state.' The thought experiment I want to propose is to agree with that sentiment, and to ask "How far can we go in that direction?" Instead of looking for the places where game users are currently suing or fighting one another, forcing the owners of various virtual worlds to deal with these things one crisis at a time, I want to ask the question "What would happen if we wanted to build a world where we maximized the amount of user control? What would that look like?" I'm going to make that argument in three pieces. First, I'm going to do a little background on group structure and the tension between the individual and the group. Then I want to contrast briefly governance in real and virtual worlds. Finally I want to propose a thought experiment on placing control of online spaces in the hands of the users. - More at http://www.shirky.com/writings/nomic.html

Internet Trumps DNA For Innovation

Internet Trumps DNA For Innovation 09/10/2004 02:30 PM
theodp writes "Senior-level business executives responding to a BusinessWeek Innovation Survey have named the personal computer (56%) and the Internet (51%) as the greatest innovations of the past 75 years, trumping the discovery of DNA (49%), the polio vaccine (25%), and cloning (2%). When it comes to the most innovative CEOs, execs give the nod to Bill Gates (50%) and Steve Jobs (47%), although Apple (35%) bested Microsoft (32%) when it came to the most innovative company." This doesn't seem that surprising. If you look at what has impacted the people who filled out the survey, of course it's going to be the stuff they see on their desk every day.
