Silicon, Fiber Optic, and Community Life (Johnson-Lenz): "The emerging electronic planetary nervous system is an expression of nature's impulse to ever-greater complexity and intelligence. Through it we may become smart enough together to respond quickly, wisely, and resiliently to the profound changes of our time. But this silicon and fiber-optic "body" will not realize its potential without healthy organizational and community life breathing the spirit of interdependence, partnership, and collaboration throughout it."

The Triple Network of Distributed Intelligence (Pór): "The ecosystem of any globally distributed, collaborative intelligence is a living trans-human system of action and thought patterns, information, insights, and inspiration that interact and cross-fertilize, feeding off and growing out of each other. It is comprised of three types of networks:
A People network of conversations
growing a Knowledge network of expanding capabilities
supported by a Technology network
The pace at which synergy grows between People, Knowledge and Technology, is the pace at which our global knowledge ecosystem and planetary intelligence is evolving."
(George Pór)
