Net Futures - The 2024 Report
Back in 1984 , Norman Macrae wrote "The 2024 Report: a future history of the next 40 years". It was the first book to:
provide readers with a brainstorming journey of what people in an internetworking world might do
predict that a new economy would emerge with revolutionary new productivity and social benefits enjoyed by all who interacted in a net-connected world
Our 1984 scenario of an internetworking world
Changing communications, and what makes people distant, bossy, etc
Changing national politics
Changing economics
Changing employment
Changing education

aSIN? Notes on Sustaining 100-fold Investment Over a Generation
GENERAL INTROTo sustain 100-fold returns over a generation, an organisational system flows hi-trust around all people who most love knowing how to question its sector’s mission intimately and transparently. In turn, now networks connect all people and races around a global world, this is achieved by purposefully compounding good human consequences for every community/society it directly or indirectly impacts. (What sustainability’s greatest investors now call Internalizing the riskiest externality 1 that an applications experts come to discover). To do all this, transparently mapped governance of the system needs to ensure that leaders are never under cashflow pressures –or from news headline grabbing professional analysts - that might cause their governance to cut the hi-trust purpose. The Sustaining organisation -as human relations system of demands and productivities - works with customers who passionately nurture the markets which communities need and empowers employees to compound extraordinary service day in day out, and by transparently multiplying every knowledge co-workers’ greatest difference to innovatively fit culture. 100-win organisations have been demonstrated to have been founded and sustained over recent generations in such different fields of human endeavour as that systemised by ***SW Airlines –wanting to empathise with what the people’s business and social needs to fly are when at a large continent’s extremity in diverse ways ***The Economist –wanting to permit all women and men’s work relationships to multiply value through sustaining their greatest endeavours and co-creating free yet most deeply purposeful communal organising, capable of collaborating over time vitally and fairly with every decent society around the globe. ***And by countries 50s-80s like Singapore, Japan (probably Taiwan and Hong Kong), probably 30s-60s USA. ***And by multi-disciplinary governance philosophies such as a 20th C truth-inquistion trio Gandhi(Community Up Diversity)*Einstein(Mathematical revolution beyond the mechanically known system)*Von Neumann(Computer medium for collaborative global and local revolution of people*machines) -are not the parenthesed labels difficult to word? That's part of the memory game every being now has an open right to conversationally play as each of us socially networks the future beyond past borders. Vote for a question that every school-kid up might systemically begin economics with: eg1 currently whose “do no evil” leadership purpose looks most likely to sustain 100-win? Candidate answers include:
Probably Google whose vision of the people’s internet currently makes our 21-year old readers circles The 2024 Report most proud to be simultaneously curious from every coordinate of our globe 1 2 3 4 5.
Whomever succeeds in sustaining clean energy and so frees a larger footprint for all 6 billion beings as we work with nature’s globe. 100-win trust is always pretty tensely inquisitive – exhilarating fun, at evolution’s best. More socially invested organisations in the stability of regional social fabrics might demand of their leaders a smoother exponential in terms of proven monetary return but include other cooperative values that a society of investors might want. Eg if you intended to sustain a great educational institution across India, or a uniting religion capable of welcoming 6 billion beings of every diversity provided they acted on the golden rule of relationship reciprocity. The rest of this Blog asks specifically: how did The Economist sustain 100-win between 50s-80s? Parallel blogs emerging on SW Airlines, Google, you tell us… Some moves our deep source suggest you search everywhere for their pattern rules and cross-cultural interpretations:
Editorially founded with a hi-trust mission by Badgheot 1 2 3 – to pursue the people’s economics, preneurial maps
Lucky enough to be the only global media never to have been conflicted by advertisers or politicians?
Provided politicians before and after their greatest power with confessional Friday luncheons as well as future history host of innovative roundtables. Leaders hi-profile visible readership of Economist’s Red mast accidentally invented product placement at a time when it was a no-cost way to global market.
Owning its London Property’s exponential and tallest building near the palace. Retained 51% in private ownership including longest-running workers
Collegiate structure freed its writers to love journalism for humanity. Editorially ad one or two humanly sustaining goals every decade but beyond left or right, and long-run. Always beyond any single nation’s patriotism knowing full well from 2 world wars preceding The Economist’s 100-win growth period what compound disasters the British Empire’s decisions had been whenever quickly taken under pressure and especially whilst waning.
Extraordinary alumni structure of having written for or acted as a host for The Economist’s celebrations a a global viewspaper.
Multiplied the value of the subject area’s –Economics – through always learning without ever being under academic or other pressures to teach or defend singular views that might have deviated from openly questioning leadership practices starting with that of biggest organisational systems (ones most at risk of destabilising world or local harmony across societies)

25 DECEMBER 1994, LondonHail to the internet connections - my & DoD's favourite ever Christmas present
Brief Learning-to-Network since 1994My main network of me multiplies my inbox and at our collaboration knowledge cafe city (eg 1) networks' real meetings- we come together to open one specific invitational challengeAnother network of me is this experimental blog format. I find it a useful exercise in recall but perhaps that's because my grey cells are 50 nowAnother tool is linkedin -see cross-sectional sample below (Nov 05). In general I get fatigued by not knowing whether an internet tool will freely exist tomorrow so please don't tell me about any fancier technology tools. email co-mentoring will probably see me through what I am capable of. I entirely agree younger people will do a lot better but not by believing technology will ever be a substitute for focusing your action learning relentlessly, and loving to see transparently sketched maps for contextually & communally exploring how productive and demanding relationships gravitate around valuetrue purpose and through trustflow.

Back in 1984, extracts from The 2024 Report - the future history of a networked people's to 2024
Telecommunications will be recognised as the third of the three great transport revolutions that have in swift succession transformed society in the past two hundred years. First were the railways, second the automobile, and third, telecommunications-attached-to-the-computer, which was bound to be the most far-reaching because in telecommunications, once the infrastructure is installed, the cost of use does not depend greatly on distance....All three revolutions were opposed by the ruling establishments of their time, and therefore emerged fastest where government was weak. All three bought great new freedoms to the common man, but the railway and motor-car ages temporarily made access to capital the most important source of economic power. As most men did not like being bossed by capitalists who could become powerful just because they were stinking rich, they voted to give greater economic power to governments during the railway and motor-car ages. This was economically inefficient, and also made tyrannies more likely and more terrible. The information revolution was fortunately the exact opposite of the steam engine's industrial revolution and of Henry Ford's mass-production revolution in this respect. The steam engine and mass production had made start-up costs for the individual entrepreneur larger and larger, so that in both the steam and automobile ages, to quote Bell Canada’s Gordon Thompson in the early 1970s, there was "no way an ordinary citizen could walk into the modern complex factory and use its facilities to construct something useful for himself. But as Thompson forecast, the databases of the next decades were places into which every part-time enthusiast could telecommute. In all jobs connected with the use of information, start-up costs for the individual entrepreneur in 1984-2024 have grown smaller and smaller. It was 'never this' said Thompson 'with power shovels and punch presses'...From the beginning of the computer age, managers in industry had felt frustrated because they could not communicate with the experts in their computing departments. Early errors by large companies' managers and by government education departments showed that those people who in the early 1980s had the most buying power were the people least capable of using it wisely. In those days it was still assumed that senior (ie older) people were best qualified to make large buying decisions, even in a fast-changing technology which they had never used themselves and whose potential for application they understood only from newspaper colour supplements. The computers revolution of the 1980s therefore owed little to the baffled progress of executives and teachers and much more to the fury of the kids. It was the smaller and younger customers who did most to pave the way for change...Never had an invention presented man simultaneously with such excited pride and initially such infuriating frustration. The 1980s began as years of annual computer incompatibility. When you have something you value sufficiently to have worked on it for 6 months, and you can copy it to your friends same-model micro in a few seconds, but realise that when you upgrade your machine you will have 3 moths work to transfer the same program, you get angry with the follies of your parents' generation...So, the era of computer incompatibility came very quickly to an end. Knowledge once gained need never be lost, and networks made this potentially available for instant sharing all over the world at the keying of anybody's portable computer terminals.Prologue from 2024: In 1974 few people believed mankind could quickly achieve today's comfort, ease, abolition of crime and freedom of living styles. Moreover, mankind very nearly didn't. This is an examination of why what happened did, and why what could have happened was mercifully avoided in the most critical years from 2005 when man woke up to the his biggest risk being gaps in incomes and expectations between rich and poor nations.

Invitation series - would your network like to co-edit sections of this blogInvitation to SIMPOL -politics for futures of all 6 billion beingsWe have started a weblog called The Rebel Economist http://therebeleconomist.blogspot.com/It has been inspired by a 4 day debate Oct05 in Washington DC on organisational and other democracies we need to compound in a global*local era. It looks at some past cases of value100 organisations that returned 100 fold to investors for a generation focusing on The Economist -as well as much more than that for all societies/communities those organisations loved to interact truly with. You can't fool all of the people for a generation, which is why the greatest compound returns for investors or indeed a developing country seem to take the generation-long time scaleSome questions on the minds of Rebel Economists: anyone want to co-edit a section of this blog?assuming beyond national politics is a generation long construct, which people groups do you all at SIMPOL know will win-win from this? which NGOs should we court or transform first in the light of our passionate belief in this?what's the connection between politics beyond borders and economics beyond borders?how do we change economics and the leadership it dictates from representing only the biggest power (where it does) to being of and by the people?how do we help to plot "internalising externalities" a number 1 theme for value multiply globally and locally over the next generation; how do we educate around this compound comsequence of sustainability investment?where do scholars of law or of the maths of system revolution come into this? what other disciplines need to openly interface with economics? how do we chnage publuic sector media analysis so that leaders are governed by other deeper views than just the last report of numbers?any other questions that should be top of the minds of Rebel Economists 2005-2010?cheers chris macrae wcbn07@easynet.co.uk

Reformation Invitation to various Knowledge Managemnet Circles including kwork, KMEurope and KMFringeFor those unaware how IT's hijacking of KM by Global Management Consulktants and other professionally greedy interests has perverted Drucker's construct of Knowledge Worker -read this first ; for those who haven't asked revolutionary questions about network economics -consult DoD
I had this strange KM experience in editing http://therebeleconomist.blogspot.com/I was despatching copy to a senior journalist for re-editing where I found myself writing, "please don't re-edit this as a perfect linear expereience as you would need to on paper because this is one of the most non-linear blogs out at the edge" (and of course hyperlinking internet's unique strength is non-linear knowledge experience)...This blog's mission is to take fringe economics until it changes Washington Consensus Economics for the good of all peoples. It uses stories from impeccable sources while they were speaking from or for the fringe.Have we at Kwork discussed this before? because just as a printed page is linear so is an egroup! so is a virtual community when self-moderated by scared EU administrators! utterly missing the learning permissions to go any which round that knowledge woprkers can liberate with the new media and open spaces http://osoflondon.blogspot.com/Of course the subject matter of TherebelEconomist helps to transform any reader from ever wanting linearity. It also heroises founders' biggest missions for humanity in the way that today's Europeans govs never care to do-no wonder there are riots!Just so that you don't feel I am only inquisitive about failed leadership in Europe, it is worth noting the big idea was planted by 4 days of discussion in DC http://clubofdc.blogspot.com/here 200 people helped to idenitify that some corporations have returned 100 fold to investors over a gereation but only by returing 1000 fold or more to societiesDoing a separate blog for each of these cases sounds like an economically abundant idea to many of the 200 of us. Then I realised I had some old insider knowledge that I feel able to spill the beans on. An organisation my family lived with whilst it compounded 100 fold returns 1950-1980 Hence http://therebeleconomist.blogspot.com/Anyone else got some old insider knowledge on 100-fold investir returns for thise prepeared to invest in hi-trust innovation over a generation?chris macrae wcbn007@easynet.co.uk
