These ideas "can" change how you see things...
What you do with them is how you will change your world. For 5 decades now I have been designing what I now call Web4. No, as a 6 year old sitting on the stoop in the garage reading Nancy Drew Mysteries, Hardy Boys, a King James Bible, a Strongās Concordance, and a Dictionary (there were the books available to me for whatever reason.) I did not have aspirations of designing the principles and frameworks that would someday make up Web4. However, I did discover in those days that I could see things beyond my visible line of sight. I could tell that my hyper-awareness of situation and intention were significant. But what to do with them? No clue. Fast forward into my twenties after a 7 year stint as an enlisted Navy man, I found myself drawn to artists, writers, musicians, and other such thinkers. I listened to their philosophies and ideas, I envied their talent, and bonded with their passions. Somehow I ended up as a field sales engineer in Silicon Valley, working with local engineers to design components into their circuit boards as they laid the foundation for the web in modems, network cards, Palm Pilots, and other such devices. Silicon Valley was built around the digital watch and calculator. Remember those one's with the red displays? Then it grew another stage as Hewlett Packard dominated the landscape. By the time I got there, the PC was already in production and Local Area Networking was just taking off. I got to witness roughly the next 20 years of growth through the lens of backroom engineering spaces, modern production and purchasing channels, and hidden scientific experiments such as at SLAC (Stanford Linear Accelerator Center) in a dark concrete basement. I supplied LCD's to the very first Tamagotchi Pet Toys at the same time I was working with engineers to revolutionize pagers for Motorola. Somewhere along the line, my insatiable desire to organize and systematize the aether took over. For 4 decades I observed, researched, experimented, inquired, and passionately sacrificed for knowledge about the world around me that I couldn't see. During this time, my disdain for proud and arrogant attitudes grew, and my yearning for humble servant spirits did also. Eventually I found my self called into the ministry and am still serving in that capacity today as a Pastor of a small church in the town where I live.
