May I offer you a quick tour around questions this picture represents for me and those networkers I feel most concern for and affinity with. If you see a route that is vital to a collaboration you (or a community/network near you) are working on- please feel free to email me at wcbn007@easynet.co.uk so that we can work out what the first connections we need to make are. You might want to quickly browse this storyline which my father Norman Macrae at The Economist and I used to start out death of distance network future maps 22 years ago. We've debated it a few thousand times now at all sorts of roundtables and networking open spaces.

Using the 200 year knowledge of entrepreneurial revolutionary cases that the Scots 1 2 3 have helped network to almost every Commonwealth nation's attention, we believed in 1984 & NOW that the web's technologies and human action learning impacts comprise the greatest challenge one generation 1984-2024 of humanity has ever faced with exponential impacts that will either sustain century 21 as the best or worse century waving through all 6+ billion beings on earth. We are dealing with both a media revolution (as great as the invention of the printing press or television) and a transport revolution (your children's productive lives may be with co-workers on the other side of the globe and their deepest mentors are certainly not all going to be in just one place)

Hi-trust human relation systems (such as true service economy organisations or markets) can be intervened with from communities up, across interlocal franchises, as well as globally-down. Maps can bring transparency to everyone sincerest productivities and most urgent demands if only we can redesign media (world class brands) and governance of what the 20th C quaintly separated into corporate .coms, regional .govs, as well as professions, medias, non-gov offices and all sorts of constitutional forms that were audited in ways that obssessed on short-term transaction whatever long-term risks this compounded. We can only put it this way because now we are half-way through 1984-2024 we are far further behind where we could be on such revolutions as climate, clean energy, health, media, education for all children and cross-culturally, ending systemic corruption and its extreme consequences such as poverty, war, loss of safety of all of us .
