Open Web Mind Mark Jeffery

You know how some connections in your mind are stronger than others?
Every time you think of summer, you think of ice cream.
Every time you’re asked to think of an animal, your mind goes to an elephant, never a bat, or a penguin, or an octopus.
Every time you think of Uncle Mike, you immediately think of that time in Marrakesh when... well, you know the story.
How does Open Web Mind capture this core characteristic of mind, that some connections are stronger than others?
You might think the answer’s obvious.
We simply assign a strength to each connection, right?
Wrong.
It turns out that assigning a strength to each connection won’t work.
Here’s what will.

Remember when the web was open?
No?
Well, I’m not surprised.
It’s a long time since the web was the open medium we were promised.
Who closed the web?
You might be surprised at some of the culprits...
...and at how close we might be to breaking the web open again.

You can’t do much on the web these days without giving your real name, your social security number, your driver’s licence and your fingerprints, without some shadowy mechanism dictating what you can and can’t say and see, without some nameless functionary nudging you away from what you want to do towards what they want you to do.
How did this happen?
When the web was invented, it promised open connection between every person on the planet.
Who broke this promise?
Here are the four forces that have worked to close the web...
...and how Open Web Mind will open it right back up again.

What if we've been doing the web wrong?
What if, instead of mindlessly browsing, we could be thinking?
What if, more than a mere collection of pages, the web could be our collective mind? 
Open Web Mind is a radical reinvention of the way we capture, explore and share our knowledge. 
Welcome to humanity's mind.
