Episode 1:
Broadband and wireless Internet connectivity are now commonplace in
the developed world, but this wasn’t always the case. At the
beginning of the 21st century, just over 300 million people
(roughly 5% of the globe )had Internet access. The number of
participants, and the type of participation has evolved rapidly
over the last 20 years. In today’s episode, Open EXO’s Chief
Science Officer Kent Langley and I discuss this evolution in three
eras: Dawn of the Internet & PCs, Introduction of the Web 2.0 &
Mobile, and Spread of the Exponential Technologies - the
Exponential Now. We explore what each of previous eras looked like,
and what we can expect from the global human network as we move
forward.
