Sheep 2.0

This morning, I arrived at the airport only to find out that my flight to Atlanta was canceled and that I was at the end of the line of unhappy stranded passengers, waiting for their flights to be re-booked. I asked the people in front of me, what the procedure was, but nobody knew. So I cellphone-surfed my way to the hotline and a very friendly call center employee changed my flight to the next day. However, when I offered the phone number to the people around me, they stared at their feet and said nothing. I felt embarrassed and left.

…a lot needs to change for us to move from a process-and-structure based to a peer produced, self-organizing world.

    “Sheep 2.0” title made me smile.

    Do you think that would have been different in a Mexican airport? I think so.

    Does this mean that developing countries have a better chance of thriving in a peer produced, self-organizing world?

    As long as the developing world has access to cellphone-sufring, I think so too.
