I agree, it is a mistake to see the internet strictly as media or as pipes. It’s not just technology either. The Internet is new human behavior. This new behavior is what makes the business models of the industrial era obsolete.

For years, I’ve been using the music business and the MP3 as an example of major changes to come for all industries as the knowledge economy develops. During that time, most people have wanted to believe that such tectonic shifts would be contained to the media industry. That’s not so surprising given human psychology – inertia and comfort are powerful forces in keeping people from seeing the changes that are obviously on the horizon.

The good news is, this fundamental change could actually result in BETTER institutions than the ones we have now. It won’t be comfortable to change, but for better or worse, we don’t have any choice.

Let’s hope that in 2009 people can start the painfully honest discussions that will lead to positive developments in industry and society.

Rather than pointing at the the Internet in particular, I would have cited the global telecommunications network in conjunction with the existence of energy resources affordable enough to support globalized trade in production output. But then, when you’re living through the larger historical upheavals you never have a clue as to what is really going on till it’s too late to respond in any useful fashion.

It will be interesting to see how many millionaires and billionaires come out of this global economic, social, political shift that is taken place because of current and emerging technologies with the Internet at the focal point. The Internet has decreased the need for big business as we know it and gives power to individuals with a spirit of ingenuity.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Fred’s post is fantastic – it reinforces that while there are many self inflicted wounds by newspaper organizations – “The Innovator’s Dilemma” and Disruptive Technology – as originally defined by that book – are far more the root driver of what has been going on in that industry and in many, many others.

The Internet, the Web, and mobile are ultimate disruptive technologies.

I’m looking forward to reading your book.

“New World Order” has kind of a sinister meaning to many, relating more to world governance – something that many people are religiously opposed to.

Moreover, “global” has a more specific meaning than “world” which carries a multitude of meanings and synonyms in the English language.

“New Global Order” might be a more appropriate terminology for what you speak of.
