Push Pull Has Lost Out to Collect: The Next Phase of the Internet
December 23, 2014
I am fascinated with the way old insights become the next big thing. Consider “Two Eras of the Internet: Pull and Push.” I am not sure I am comfortable with either of these words. Just as read-write creates an image of how digital information “works,” the notions are difficult to reconcile with what is important about online accessible information.
In the push-pull analogy, the write up focuses on social and flow. The challenge is, “What’s going on now with regards to accessible information?” The answer is, “Collection.” Just as read-write misses the important point about the changes between data that have been written and data that are being written. Wonks refer to this as the “delta.”
My point is that next generation information access is based on these word pairs masquerading as explanations. Based on our research for “CyberOSINT: Next Generation Informaiton Access,” the freshest approach to digital content is automated collection and analysis. How does one make sense of historical, real time, data change, and large volumes of content–predictive analytics that generate useful outputs for humans and for systems.
“CyberOSINT” will be available early in 2015. If you are an active law enforcement, security, and intelligence professional, you can reserve your copy by writing benkent2020 at yahoo dot com. Go beyond simplicity and learn about the information shift changing information access.
