Continuous Computing Blog - My Life Between Silicon Valley and Japan

Wade Roushが新しいBlogを立ち上げた。「Continuous Computing」Blog
http://www.continuousblog.net/
である。サブタイトルに「mobile devices + wireless everywhere + Web 2.0 = A social revolution」とある。ロジャー・マクナミーの「The New Normal」、クリス・アンダーソンの「The Long Tail」同様、自らが提唱するコンセプトをタイトルにしたBlogである。
「Continuous Computing」のマニフェストはここで読める。
http://www.continuousblog.net/2005/05/what_is_continu.html

The point of this blog is to promote the concept of continuous computing as a useful way to think about some of the most significant trends in information technology. Why is continuous computing important? Because it allows us to evolve into a new kind of creature – infobeings, if you will, with the human and information resources we need constantly at the ready, and with our personal brainpower and communications abilities vastly extended, all through networks of mobile digital devices and Web-based software services.

我々は今まさに「infobeings」という「a new kind of creature」へと進化の途上にあるんだ。そう考えると面白いよと、まぁそういうことである。
別にこのコンセプト自身に何か特別斬新なものがあるわけではないが、これからWade Roushがこのコンセプトに包括できると考える新事象を、毎日このBlogで書きまくってくれるのだろうから、それは楽しみだなと思う。
