THE NETWORKED REVOLUTION
USED TO MEAN "SOMETHING COMPLICATED, UNDERVALUED BUT NECESSARY IN THE
FUTURE.” BUT NOW MEANS "THE FUTURE OF MY BUSINESS", "CREATIVITY", "EXCITEMENT". THE POSSIBILITY OF REINVENTION IN MY CAREER
AND A WAY OF STAYING YOUNG.
IT'S A WAY OF LIFE, FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE, AND THE MORE WE CAN
