I am siting aboard a Jet Airways flight on my way to attend and present at the EDGEX2012 conference in Delhi. Yesterday, as I added a few final touches to my presentation, some random thoughts fleeted across my mind. It's officially starting from tomorrow. But we--the speakers and the organizers--are meeting today. Am I excited?

And that future is rapidly becoming our present. Over the next two decades we can expect the knowledge of the world to be digitalised, with an exponential rise in user-generated content, "wise-crowd" application and open innovation applications."

The Anecdote: I recently finished reading Garr Reynold's Presentation Zen. The Japanese, as a culture, do not present their opinion immediately. When presented with any information and asked for their conclusion, their typical answer is, "It depends!" In the book, he recounts his initial encounter with the Japanese.

As Marshall McLuhan so memorably put it: "We look at the present through a rear-view mirror.

Would we consider silent participants in a meeting or at presentations lurkers? Somehow, the word lurker has become associated with pejorative connotations of people taking from communities without giving back, of not contributing, of being selfish and feeding off the hard work of others. They are the free riders. Not really. They showed up.
