Social media is chaotic and loud, but it helps us to get to the next level. Ubiquitous, human-centric aware web is here.
We need security. We need friends and social identity that is accepted and respected.
Fulfilling these needs is a path towards greater self-enlightenment.
The social web supports our social needs. We construct our social identity by sharing the items that mirror the image that we want to create. We keep up with friends.
However, the Web has potential to help us with even higher needs.
Think Scoopinion. It is not a social service. And as a discovery tool, it does not deliver the pieces you have to know. Thus, it does not fulfill the need for security.
Instead, you can discover enlightening pieces that others have found insightful enough to spend time on. Scoopinion offers awareness. It's a tool for learning about the world, and yourself. The latter is especially true after we launch the profile page.
I welcome you to the aware web.
Social web is a bazaar. Aware web is a mountain
Everybody is shouting. You smell the taste of the spices and sweat. Small girl is looking at a hairy goat. Olives, meat, sneakers, people, people everywhere. Hats and hair and open mouths.
This is the social web. We go there because everyone is there and we have fun and smile and chat and laugh.
The amount of detail makes you feel tired. You leave the bazaar.
Finally home. Close the door.
Sit on the carpet. It's raining outside, and the small droplets of water play with the metal in the windowsill.
Open a magazine and read. The story makes you forget where you are. You read, immersed. You don't think about it, but small details from the story are colliding with your memories.
It's the aware web.
Your mind wanders: you remember the chats you had in the bazaar. An idea comes up, combining the details of the day. Slowly, you begin to meditate. Under your conscious thoughts, your mind is working. You don't think about it, but you are learning.
The aware web.
You get an idea. Open a notebook to write it down. The pen resonates with the flow of your mind and you write and you write and you can't slow down. But your mind is slow and in peace.
In the aware web, you don't have to worry and you don't have to be somebody. The web takes care of you, finding you the knowledge you desire from your past and from the actions of others, gently directing you to the paths you want to take.
For a moment, you can relax. Aware web is here to help you.
