How the Future Will Reward Open Networks
September 17, 2019 @ 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm PDT
The next 25 years will bring enormous change to the economy, to the livability of communities, and to the demand on cities and counties to respond to change.
Because the economy is now a digital economy, this change will require networks that are evolvable, flexible, scalable, locally controlled and open.
Kevin Kelly, founding executive editor of Wired Magazine, describes one of the reasons technological systems gravitate toward open systems this way:
“The network economy rewards open systems. Closed systems close off opportunities. This is why the network economy routes around closed systems.
“The issue is whether it is easy or difficult for others to invent something that plays off your invention.”
