“The internet has taken away a lot of personalization. A lot of people are writing articles and talking about being able to social network and making these connections but I don't think anything will replace the human connection making an actual conversation to somebody face to face.” PeopleThinkingWritingHumansAbleFacesSocialTalkingTakenInternetConversationConnectionsArticlesFace To FaceSocial NetworkHuman ConnectionPersonalization Author:Steve Mahoney

“Please do not leave me, he thought. He could not bear a world without Alli. He realized how much he relied on her from morning until night. She was his only conversation. His only smile.

“Copies have been dethroned; the economic model built on them is collapsing. In a regime of superabundant free copies, copies are no longer the basis of wealth. Now relationships, links, connections, and sharing are. Value has shifted away from a copy toward the many ways to recall, annotate, personalize, edit, authenticate, display, mark, transfer, and engage a work. Art is a conversation, not a patent office.

Reality can’t be copyrighted.” WayHas BeensArtRealityValuesWealthEconomicSourceConversationOfficeModelsArt IsBuiltConnectionsBasesMarkJournalismRealmsCopiesLinksRegimesDisplayRecallsScholarshipTransfersEditsPatentsEconomic ModelsCitations Author:David Shields
