Electronic Incubators: Revolutionizing Community
John D
No longer are we confined to physical and spatial incubators for our inspiration and growth, but we now have electronic incubators, revolutionary communities, with the power and capacity to change our world for the better. In addition to the physical, brick-and-mortar, incubators of the world and the spatial, atmospheric, incubators, we have electronic incubators. These e-communities are specifically designed for bringing together like-minded people. Web sites, chat rooms, and now, blog rooms have become our newest incubators. We have more than buildings and surrounding space to inspire community, but we have a third incubator, the electronic incubator.
A hi-tech world warrants a hi-tech incubator; electronic communities are hi-tech incubators. The internet and other technological advance have made it possible for people all over the world to become more connected. We are able to build relationships with friends in foreign countries. We are able to establish electronic communities to support noble causes. The World Wide Web is more than a superhighway of free flowing messages, thoughts, and ideas, but it is a network of electronic incubators, a global e-community. We live in the day of high technology when electronic communities combine to form what has become a revolutionary community, a global electronic incubator.
Whether we are in a building, in a park, or on a computer, our incubators must inspire. Incubators are places of growth. In order to grow, we must be inspired. We must be connected to other sources of inspiration. The physical and spatial incubators are no longer the only two places and areas for community, but the electronic incubators have expanded our territory and reach. The World Wide Web is a global electronic incubator that houses countless smaller electronic incubators, online communities, and families all over the world. As technology continues to advance, electronic incubators will continue to expand. All incubators, including electronic, must seek to make the world a better place.

Living in this communication explosion - thrilling and frightening all at once. A beautiful analogy to incubator, John
Yes. Incubator is a good analogy. It's been almost 2 months since you wrote this. I'm now just reading it and it (and your other writings) have all made an impression upon me. Growing, incubating, becoming ready to seed the world.
I like the internet because not only does it give us access to “instant” communication (even if the object of communication is “off-line”), but it gives us access to countless others of a like-mind and interests. We may live in the Alaskan wilderness or the Australian outback, but if we have access to a satellite signal we may find another with similar interests in Soho or Tampa with whom we may become friends.
John,
The entries in your blog clearly show that you are a visionary thinker and a voice of positive change. Please continue to use ALL incubators to put the word out… whatever the relavant word may be at that particular time and indeed you are and will have made our world a better place.
Cheers,
Tony
