The document discusses how the real-time web allows everyone and everything to be constantly connected. This has led to a revolution with several impacts: it is now possible to build large audiences rapidly in entertainment; protests can attract hundreds of thousands of people within days; crowdfunding allows business ideas to be financed without banks; and companies can be sold for hundreds of millions after starting with no funding. However, the constant connectivity also raises questions around whether every voice should be equal, if increased openness risks exposing information to the wrong people, how niche fragmentation may impact shared experiences, and how people can cope with the accelerated speed of change. The document advocates embracing and making the most of this revolutionary real-time environment.
