Out Of The Shadows

http://www.redherring.com/article.aspx?f=Articles/2004%2f02%2f24da8d70-0e71-4dd9-890c-05efc71f324d%2f24da8d70-0e71-4dd9-890c-05efc71f324d.xml&hed=Hidden%20tech

Absorbing article about the evolution of 'hidden tech' -- the fact that internetworking has improved to the point that the (sometimes vacuous) dream of de-urbanization for knowledge workers can be realized. While the result is a more humane way of life [with the not inconsiderable side effect of spreading the economic benefits of IT more widely], it has even more significance: because this development may be key to sustained economic recovery in the USA, and also because it is small, unincorporated, and therefore under the radar of standard business statistics.

There is a model worth considering in this regard: how the Falun Gong movement in China seemed, from the government's point of view, to emerge from nothing overnight. Something of the same impact, though far more benign, may be happening here. If so, the phenomenon is well worth keeping in mind.
