or walled gardens
Walled gardens inhibit creativity & sharing...
by limiting cross-pollination
But...
Walled gardens create comfortable
environments
People average connections to only
10 others
Most people need the comfort of the few
Small groups of people we know
Ease fear

But...
Getting information out of the walled garden
When people are comfortable...
garden walls must be permeable
Sharing out, one by one
Share with groups
Provides...
Connecting Distant People
Increased Understanding
Everybody gets smarter
Thank you!
