You can stop one of us. You used to be able to separate and isolate. That’s just not possible anymore. You might slow us down, you might stop stop a few, but that’s it.

You CANNOT stop all of us.

We are the creative class. We are leaders on the brink.

We are in the middle of the greatest shift of the way the world works since the Industrial Revolution. Factories gave us leisure time, gave us a chance to explore knowledge and the ability to search for anything we wanted to learn.

We’re beyond that now. We have the entire wealth of the world’s knowledge at our fingertips, thanks to the internet, but that was only the beginning. We are now all part of a networked series of independent nodes capable to connecting to anyone we want. We are a hive mind that doesn’t suffer from group think.

We are now all collaborators. If knowledge is power, your curiosity and passion are your only limits now. No longer can we be confused with propaganda or controlled by a single source.

Welcome to the Collaboration Revolution*.
