Social computing will lead to Internet singularity
In America, futurologists gather at special conferences organized specifically to discuss the future. At meetings, such as Foo_Camp or The New New Internet , experts try to identify trends and identify the most promising ones. Such conferences often take place behind closed doors, and the organizers themselves make a list of participants and send invitations. That is, there is an opportunity to talk without unnecessary information noise.
During the next meeting, Foo_Camp publishes his thoughts on his blog, Dion Hinchcliffe, one of the participants of this event. Together with other experts, he talks about such concepts as Internet singularity and social computing.
Internet singularity is a process of deeper interpenetration of the online and offline worlds, in which the development of science, business, society and self-realization dramatically accelerates. Probably, already now some phenomena of the offline world can be perceived as signs of an upcoming Internet singularity.
Social computing is an increasing trend towards the use of social web applications that combine the power of social connections and the power of computer communications. If people use online to communicate with each other - this is social computing.

Dion Hinchcliffe expressed his thoughts in the form of a diagram : in his opinion, modern Web 2.0 applications are a transitional stage to social computing. Together with the development of web services and corporate computer systems of the new generation, this will become a condition for the onset of Internet singularity, that is, a sharp jump in the development of science, business, society, etc.
It should only be noted that corporate systems are not accidentally hit on the above diagram. Many American futurologists, and Dion Hinchcliffe in particular, make money on corporate consulting, recommending them to start transformations in the style of Web 2.0 right now, and these transformations will be only the first step towards Enterprise 2.0 and the collective intelligence of the future. .
