Too way too fast

author: peter category: Humeur

World is moving too fast. What do I mean by “too fast”. What is the speed where it get too fast ? 60mph ? 200 mph ?

World is moving too fast when a single human can’t influence on it anymore. World is made from humans. If the basic composing piece can’t change anything anymore, what’s the point ?

Of course, moving faster means more evolutions, better choice, more experiments. At least, if we are going to crash in a wall (pollution, nuclear war…) we won’t have to wait too long (thx Mr. Bush).

Is it really a bad thing we are going so fast one can’t match anymore ? Gutenberg bring the print, litterature spread worlwide… Was it a bad thing. From the POV of churchs, yes. People’s POV: one of the best thing. But that revolution served the world.

When on a ambulance, going fast can save a life, going too fast can kills many. That’s the point. We’re going too fast, like a teenager discovering the shift stick and sticking to the 5th, going wild on road.

How did I came to this opinion ? I had many projects thoses last months. All of them get down, at nearly launch state, because big organizations or companies overtaken me. They had the financial, PR, human power I didn’t. My projects were simple, well packed and they were blowed away by bigger.

Yeah, I’m certainly complaining on nothing as it has never been so easy as now for a single person (or a few people) to launch big ideas. Look at Google or … hum, only Google comes to my mind BUT it’s also never been so easy to be overtaken! So unfair.

I’m only 24, I shouldn’t be scared by all this. So, what’s wrong with me ?

There’s nothing wrong with you, but at the same time we have the quartels of huge industry corporation controlling the market and the consomateur’s choices, We are living the read-write culture, where a large amount of people have access to information and the so called amateur culture brings every second something new and unusual that confront the standard patterns of these big organizations. Instead of thinking about how we are suffocated by old ideas, habbits and products, foccused on projects that broke the big quartels, such as napster, that changed the music business and the way we exchange and listen to it, or even google, post-it, and the fantastic idea of Dummont to make a bracelet a fix a clock on it (and he invented the watch!) and the genious idea to display on the telephone screen the number of the person calling (someone only though about that in 82) and finally Johnny Lee and his crazy wii controler from an average remote control. In fact, we never before had that much power to change and make things different. Hope the next great technology breakthrough comes from you..
