2. Everyone designs who
devises courses of action
aimed at changing
existing situations into
preferred ones.
— Herbert Simon
5. The nature of
digital artifacts
In crossing the
threshold from analog
to digital, an artefact
exchanges
a single, traceable past for
unlimited possible futures,
solidity for malleability,
and financial value for
social value.

The nature of
digital networks
In the change from
physical to virtual,
networks change from
> centralized to dispersed,
> fixed to fluid,
> and hierarchical to flat.
8. “the networked environment makes
possible a new modality of
organizing production: radically
decentralized, collaborative, and
nonproprietary, based on sharing
resources and outputs among widely
distributed, loosely connected
individuals who cooperate with each
other without relying on either market
signals or managerial commands. This
is what I call commons-based
peer production.”

Production Transforms Markets and Freedoms

“You never change
things by fighting the
existing reality.
To change something,
build a new model that
makes the existing
model obsolete.”

status quo, not
because it is
optimal, but
because it is
familiar.

29. “Companies often fail because
the very management practices
that have allowed them to
become industry leaders also
make it extremely difficult for
them to develop the disruptive
technologies that ultimately
steal away their markets.”

34. Network weather
“The network weather argument suggests that
changes in your environment are
occurring because of other
people’s use of these technologies
and the behaviour they facilitate,
even if as an individual you are not engaged
with them.”
