(quoted by A N TO N Z E I L I N G E R )
“There are two types of truths:
simple truths & deep truths.
Simple truth is truth where the opposite
is not true. Deep truth is truth where
the opposite is also true.”

12. JSB TELLS ME:
If both has the same
user interface (big green button),
if two machines do roughly
the same thing look and feel
(LIKE COPYING)
if machine in world of atoms
if one machine
(COPY MACHINE) is connected with
is in the world of atoms machine in the world of bits
if one machine EACH MACHINE HAS MORE
(VIRTUAL COPY MACHINE) opportunity
is in the world of bits than if it is a standalone machine
— jsb’s law, 1997

13. Something deep was changing
I was aware of a shift
the internet?
the net?
what?
jsb talked about the fabric,
an emerging fabric of rich services
surrounding and interconnecting communities

14. I began to recognize
it was not the internet
it was not the network

15. I began to recognize
it was not the internet
it was not the network
it was netness
that was making the difference
between our past and our future

16. Moore’s Law

17. the price and performance available
from semi-conductor technology
will double
every 24 months

18. Conversation between
Gordon Moore & Carver Mead
Article in electronics magazine 1965
Marketing to promote future use
of chips in consumer products

19. Named “Dr. Moore’s Law”
by Carver Mead in 1971
Metronome setting the pace
for global tech ecosystems
Most important source
of new opportunity

20. Foundation of
digital everything
Enabler of global
communications & technology
Influence that extends
far beyond technology

21. I asked Gordon Moore,
“What is it people don’t understand?”

22. I asked Gordon Moore,
“What is it people don’t understand?”
He answered,

23. I asked Gordon Moore,
“What is it people don’t understand?”
He answered,
“What people don’t understand
is that the smaller things get
the faster and cheaper and
better they always work.”

24. What is netness?

25. netness
IS AN EMERGING STATE OF BEING
in which connectivity is increasingly ubiquitous,
lives are increasingly entangled.

26. Connectivity is becoming
the most important driver of new opportunity
the critical creator of new value

27. Not networks
Not the Internet
Connectivity itself

28. The more things you connect,
the better things work

29. The more things you connect,
the better things work
the smarter they are

30. The more things you connect,
the better things work
the smarter they are
the safer they are

31. The more things you connect,
the better things work
the smarter they are
the safer they are
the more opportunity is created for
sharing resources and collaborating

32. More things, people and places
are becoming connected every day

33. 5 vectors of growth for connectivity

34. 1. The number of networks

35. 2. The number of connectable points

36. 3. The number of connected devices

37. 4. The number of connected locations

38. 5. The ubiquity

39. 5. The ubiquity, frequency

40. 5. The ubiquity, frequency & intimacy
of connections

41. How is connectivity changing?

42. As connectivity becomes ubiquitous
systems (networks) become

43. As connectivity becomes ubiquitous
systems (networks) become fields

44. As connectivity becomes ubiquitous
networks and lives become

45. As connectivity becomes ubiquitous
networks and lives become entangled

46. A new kind of connectivity is emerging
We used to talk about 3 states of connectivity:

47. A new kind of connectivity is emerging
We used to talk about 3 states of connectivity:
Loosely connected
Closely connected
Embedded

48. A new kind of connectivity is emerging
4th state of connectivity is emerging:
Loosely connected
Closely connected
Embedded
Entangled

49. When connectivity becomes ubiquitous
The more things, people, places
become entangled…

50. When connectivity becomes ubiquitous
The more systems (networks) become
like fields…

51. When connectivity becomes ubiquitous
The more things, people, places become
the better things work entangled
the safer they are

52. Two worlds

53. The world of atoms
The more things, and the world of bits
the better things becomes one

54. What creates the value

55. Metcalfe’s Law

56. Metcalfe’s Law
Reed’s Law

81. Limit connectivity, and
you limit opportunity

82. Limit connectivity, and
you limit opportunity
you decrease safety

83. Connect the unconnected, and
you hugely increase opportunity

84. Connect the unconnected, and
you hugely increase opportunity,
safety

85. Connect the unconnected, and
you hugely increase opportunity,
safety & success

112. Netness vs. Moore’s Law

113. EVERY DAY
it becomes more important and more productive

114. EVERY DAY
it becomes more important and more productive
to be able to connect, communicate,
and collaborate

115. EVERY DAY
it becomes more important and more productive
to be able to connect, communicate,
and collaborate anywhere

116. EVERY DAY
it becomes more important and more productive
to be able to connect, communicate,
and collaborate anywhere
with anything

117. EVERY DAY
it becomes more important and more productive
to be able to connect, communicate,
and collaborate anywhere
with anything
on an ad hoc basis

118. EVERY DAY
it becomes less important to have

119. EVERY DAY
it becomes less important to have
the fastest computer chips,

120. EVERY DAY
it becomes less important to have
the fastest computer chips,
fattest connections,

121. EVERY DAY
it becomes less important to have
the fastest computer chips,
fattest connections,
or vertically optimized
silicon solutions

122. Where does this apply?

123. This is a tool you can use in planning
products, business models & governance

124. What would be the most important use?

125. Confluencing crises

126. Confluencing crises
of population growth,
climate change
& insufficient
resources & reserves

127. Confluencing crises of population growth,
climate change & insufficient resources
are the most urgent reason to recognize,
optimize and utilize netness
Radically increasing the ability
for everything to cooperate and collaborate

128. Confluencing crises of population growth,
climate change & insufficient resources
are the most urgent reason to recognize,
optimize and utilize netness
Radically increasing the ability
for everything to cooperate and collaborate
for maximum efficiency (and minimum waste)

129. Confluencing crises of population growth,
climate change & insufficient resources
are the most urgent reason to recognize,
optimize and utilize netness
Radically increasing the ability
for everything to cooperate and collaborate
for maximum efficiency (and minimum waste)
will be a requirement to assure survival
of many communities.

130. What Can We Do To Accelerate
The Recognition And Optimization of Netness?

131. We need to create
a taxonomy of connectivity

132. We need to conduct
a taxonomy of connectivity
experiments to validate the value of connectivity

133. We need to focus
a taxonomy of connectivity
experiments to validate the value of connectivity
on more “drip networks” as much as broadband

134. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
in The Phenomenon of Man
Connectivity = Life

135. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
in The Phenomenon of Man
Connectivity = Life
Isolation = Death

136. That is why
WHY EVERYTHING
WANTS TO BE
CONNECTED

137. That is why
ALL THINGS
ABSOLUTELY WANTS TO BE
CONNECTED
