The document appears to be a presentation by Joakim Formo given on November 2, 2011 in Trondheim, Norway. It discusses the growing number of connections between things, people, and places over time. It also touches on the difference between vertical silos and horizontal mash-ups, and argues that the real value is in interconnections rather than just connections. The presentation questions whether users truly get networks and notes that technological networks are very abstract while social networks are more intuitive. It concludes by thanking the audience and providing Joakim Formo's contact information.
