Tim Berners-Lee
Tim Berners-Lee saw that the interactive web was based upon co-creation. I believe that some people are starting to call this 2.0? Well the concept is not new - it is just that the technology is becoming more advanced to enable it to be more of a reality.
Anyway, one of the key facets of co-creation is the ability of people on-line to take on the second world and become a virtual self, living another persons life. The Protean Self has multiple personas (taken after Sociologist Robert Lifton). This is how we cope with modern life.
With this type of co-creation and multiple personalities can we not use virtual type avatars to help us with creative and projective research techniques? What about our next survey - tell me what persona you have? Will it ever come to that?
See you in the next world...
