Global Network
Full Title or Meme
For recognition of Identifiers across the world two components must be in places: First a communication network, which has traditionally be by exchanging treaties and now is becoming based on Internet connections; Second a trust network, which was traditionally bi-lateral until international organizations, like the UN and ICAO were created.
Context
In the 1960's, Licklider published two seminal articles: "Man Computer Symbiosis"[1] in 1960 and "The Computer as a Communications Device"[2] written with Robert Taylor in 1968. Looking for the intellectual roots of these papers and Licklider's vision, at least one researcher(3) was drawn to the work of Norbert Wiener. This page will look at some of the related work of Norbert Wiener and J.C.R. Licklider.
Problems
- Trust among all the nations and peoples of the world is not working so well.
Solutions
- Trust does not need to be global. Is is typically between a small number of individuals or countries. A trust network must be able to solve these real-world problems.
