Evelyn Rodriguez [via Doc] has a great post outlining a path towards a more evolved internet. Something about this piece really struck me as powerful. Not because of the ground it breaks, but perhaps because of the lessons it reiterates. My takeaway;

1. This, the internet, is not media, like paper, upon which things are recorded and published or broadcast. It is a place where conversations happen. Beautifully, this place also has the magic to record these conversations for posterity.

2. Of the users of this place, there is no us and them, me and you. There is an Us.

3. It is up to Us to educate one another about what type of Place we want this to be. In order for this to happen, we must first start using the language of conversation to build bridges with those that need to be part of The Conversation.

Evelyn reminds me that the state of technology pales in comparison to the collective state of mind. That we define this place, that we can make it what we want, for better or for worse.
