4G Empowering an Army of Davids
I recently finished reading Glenn Reynolds' Army of Davids (http://www.thomasnelson.com/consumer/product_detail.asp?sku=1595550542) Even though the book was published back in 2006, it is still incredibly relevant (and maybe even more so) given some of the current dynamics and technology disruption happening around us. The main theme of the book is that emerging technology like the Internet serves as an equalizer to give individuals power equivalent to large organizations. Armed with video cameras and wireless internet access, anyone can become a global reporter, providing more opportunities for the public to see the news through the eyes of many versus being filtered through the lens of big media. In addition to communications technologies, Reynolds postulates that advances in computing, nanotech and biotech are creating similar disruptions that will allow individuals to wield significant power in shaping their lives and environment. The so called "Army of Davids" effect is very similar to the "Digital Swarm" effect I site in my recent book, The New World of Wireless: How to Compete in the 4G Revolution (http://www.whartonsp.com/store/product.aspx?isbn=013700379X), where individuals and objects are able to self-organize to achieve significant outcomes using wireless networks and smart devices as a medium to collaborate.
