Technology is changing the way we communicate; online & offline.

Recently I have noticed terminology I have developed from the internet transcend into other dimensions of my life.

Micro-blogging platforms such as twitter place limitations on the way we communicate; the most obvious being twitter’s 140 character limit.

Detailed and descriptive conversation thread has evolved to become direct and succinct; focus is on the definition of words and the context in which they are used.

Hash tags are a saved search mentality; a mutually understood set of references that continually expand and iterate over time via collective user-generated input.

A recent email to a client was about 590 characters long, given my engagement with them is largely related to the internet I closed the email with an internet translation that read: “#educationspace #coffeeevolution #crushit”

Consider the offline application of this style of communication; plugging into another person’s stream of consciousness and downloading the relevant information; in only a few words a huge amount of data is transferred.

There is not enough bandwidth in voice for the complexity of what we would like to communicate; our environment is such that we need to look beyond voice to transrational methods of communication that tap into streams of consciousness and energy flow.

The technology is not important- that will come and go- it’s the direction it nudges us in that matters.
