We are in the midst of a growing Prosumer Revolution that yearns for Privacy by Design, Self-Determination for Quality of Life, and Individual Empowerment.
We are also at the tipping point of defining the ultimate nature of the Human-Machine Interface (HMI) as a requisite moment in the Evolution of the Internet and its relationship to Consciousness, Community, Commerce, and Cosmos.
The Digital Age is upon us and the battle lines are forming between Prosumer Pro-Activists and Consumers Re-Activists. Today 3.2 billion (growing to 6 billion by 2021) smart phone-carrying Consumers Re-Activists are being digitally spoon-fed, moment-to-moment, by the Global Brain via unregulated Business-to-Consumer (B2C) Internet of Things (IoT) oligopolies, masquerading as benevolent Public Utilities.
And as the World adopts widespread Digital Value Chain optimization and monetization models in the emerging Business-to-Business (B2B) Machine-to-Machine (M2M) Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), where does Human Intention lie amidst all the combinatorial permutations of algorithmic manipulations in the network effect of the Internet of Everything?
Shall Prosumers begin Waking Up!, transcend the toxic, purposeless, and unsustainable nature of Mass Consumerism, and find individual empowerment in the intention, design, and practices of the M2M IIoT?
Or shall we fall asleep, in a digital coma, enslaved by the Shared Central Nervous System of the Machine, awaiting our fate in the emerging era of humans working for the machines?
The Prosumer is not a new phenomenon. The striving in consciousness for self-identity, self-determination, and self-sufficiency, in relation to engaging with technology and community, has been a driving force of humanity ever since language began.
Yet, what we are experiencing today is nothing more than a perversion of Prosumerism, for what is being offered by the online oligopolies lacks the true intent of the Prosumer, and we believe it flies in the face of the founders of the Internet who envisioned an open peer-to-peer network. We believe this has robbed us of free choice and further accelerated a materialistic society in deep debt.
In our evolution from a production- to a consumption- to a Prosumer-centric society, we must place the needs and desires of people (as Prosumers) at the forefront by putting the soul back into the machine that we have become, igniting primary demand, and waking people up to pursue their passions and true choices.
- What if we could stimulate primary demand amidst the growing Prosumer Revolution for Privacy by Design, Quality of Life, and Individual Empowerment in relation to the desire to realize a future manifestation of authentic, inspiring, and sustainable Prosumer activated Consciousness, Commerce, and Community?
- What if Prosumers could exercise free choice to Envision, Become, and Perform Anything as a Living Service (AaaLS) for their and others’ Well Being, Anywhere, Anyway, Anytime, in an “Always-On”, continuous learning and abundant ecology of thoughts, words, and actions?
- What if we could unleash the possibilities for authentic, inspiring and sustainable Prosumer choices, experiences, and outcomes in the context of Smart Communities, Cities, and Developments delivering Health, Safety, Security, Sustainability (HSSS) and Well-Being?
Prosumers could begin discovering new intentions, ways, and means for imagining the fulfillment of free choices, guided by their living intentions for Well-Being. And all of this could be done in relation to a Digital Value Chain and Leaders, ready to deliver on What We Want (WWW) as Digital Prosumer Pro-Activists through the Internet of Living Intentions™ – IoLI™ – for Human Well-Being.
For only from the ongoing will to begin Waking UP!, Transcending History, and Leading From The Future® will People (as Prosumers), Leaders, and Digital Value Chains assure a Future for Human Well-Being on behalf of Y(Our) Children’s Children.
