'Open' Revolution


I believe we have moved into a century of massive, global collaboration, innovation, and 'open' solutions. There is a revolution taking place in the high tech industry as we continue to move to open source solutions. In education and publishing we are moving to open copyright, open access, open knowledge, and open journals. We're seeing collaborative and 'open' news organizations, religious, and political movements. 'Open' health IT solutions and communities are proliferating. I think its very real --- this period of 'open' revolution' on all fronts. I just haven't got a truly clear handle on what it really looks like, how it operates, and what its impact will be on all of us, our country, and our way of life.  But something big is afoot -  this is not just the Information Age, we've also entered an Age of Open Revolution! 

Help us understand what this all means and portends. What does this mean for the future of America? For health care? For us all?
