It’s not about the Technology, it’s about the Psychology

They’re starting to get it. The tools don’t make the master. They once gave you a tactical advantage but to coin an old ‘wild west’ saying: “God made man, Sam Colt made them equal”

So while people have been chasing technology as their own silver bullet, in truth there was none and now people are slowing realizing that it’s the relationships between things that matters more.

It turns out that the way things are related – the way we connect – is far more important than what is being connected.

It would seem that Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg agrees with me too, she says “There is a very fundamental shift going on from the information Web to the social Web.”

In other words, it’s no longer about the mechanistic parts, about the data; it’s about the relationships.

So there you have it… apparently there’s little value in the stuff itself, but there’s gold in the gaps ??? My brain hurts…

PS. Sam Colt made the Colt revolver hand gun … just in case you didn’t know ;-)
