I would frame the issue around context, which I argue is more important (certainly at least as important) as the content itself. The content (because of the sheer volume) becomes meaningless if it is not presented in the right context, i.e. at the moment in time and space we are most inclined to consume the information. Joe Hildebrand, the CTO of Jabber, Inc. (my client) does a good job of assessing the situation in the cover story of the latest SIP Magazine.

I totally agree with what Mike said. As a developer, I can tell you that I haven’t had so much fun since the mid-90′s. I think that one of the reasons for the explosion in innovation and development is our tools have matured to the point that they are truely building blocks and we’re able to spend more time creating the solution and not creating the blocks themselves.

Its not just in software. For some reason, its like the lights went on in the last few years, and now there are just hundreds of people and companies who are doing earth changing work. There is a huge, huge amount of innovation occuring right now in so many fields. And it is not just ‘new ideas’ Its people using old ideas, things that we know work, in new ways. The building blocks have been around, but now they have been explored enough so they can be changed and used in ways they were not intended.

Its as though technology has come out of the lab and gone into the garage again.

You are right on the money – that’s what I’m trying to think through around the “dynamics of innovation.” It’s not about the software – it’s about the meta-concept of what’s going on.

It seems what’s needed is a conceptual innovation, not a software innovation. What does all this information mean and how can it connect, and how does it connect with what I want? Once the conceptual innovation is there the software can follow.
