Toward a Special Theory of Human ExperienceThe human experience has been limited by language and media of communication in thinking, learning, and understanding the nature of our universe. Now, the Internet is a technological projection of our physical nervous system. The Web challenges and enables us to expand our consciousness into multiple dimensions. Through experiencing and reflecting, we can learn from the Web more about our thinking selves.

![]() Times change. A growing number of "Sleeping Beauty" consumers are waking up. Is it because consumers are becoming conscious of their basic human rights not to be seduced, manipulated, controlled, attacked, and raped by distasteful, intrusive, uninvited, abusive advertising. |
Sleeping Beauty Awakes!Best Practices for Using Digital Media for Customer Relations, Advertising, & MarketingThe Internet is not just another venue for the distribution of unsolicited, in-your-face advertising. It's a channel for truly interactive, user-centered communication. Whether the channel is a Web page, email, listserv, mail list, peer-to-peer, blogg, video conference, or distributed removable media, Digital Media can deliver information with greater dimension and depth than older communication technology. But Cyber Beauty demands and deserves a more Meaningful Experience.

Knowledge thus exists in relationship rather than in an "objective" world or in "subjective" experience. In information theory, "information" is defined in terms of a "relationship" between an input and a receiving devise. A book contains no information for someone who can't read. |
Collaborative Communications in Virtual CommunityWe thought we were literate if we could read and write. But email and the Web confronts us with a whole new World of challenges! Writing skills, social etiquette, message management, spam filtering, and virtual relationships can cause chaos in personal or business relationships. Shouldn't we have learned something about this in grade school? Now, let us go back to the basics: Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How! Now, how does that work in ecommunications?

"… a system cannot be analyzed into parts. This leads to the radically new notion of unbroken wholeness of the entire universe. You cannot take it apart. For if you do, what you end up with is not contained within the original whole. It is created by the act of analysis." |
Evolution of Knowledge ManagementHow do we store and retrieve information relevant to our needs without being "overloaded"? We have to expand our perspective. We need to stop obsessing about "data" and "things" and develop an awareness of "context" and "process." We must develop our ability to conceptualize in context of personal, social, economic, and political issues.

"A human being is part of the Whole...He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness." |
The Globalization of the Human ExperienceThe American dream of freedom, equality, and individualism is not fulfilled even in its own cradle. It's still evolving! We still reject the power to determine our own lives. We still abuse ourselves and each other, as well as those not in our tribe. How can you be yourself and be a citizen of the World? The Golden Secret is, "We do to others what we do to ourselves."

All matter contains information. |
Form IS Meaning!Now, here's something for the "futurists" in us all. The most important issue in the Information Age is the organization of information storage and retrieval. Let us "think out of the box" of 4-D and have fun exploring the latest attempts at developing metaphors that challenge the conventional computer Desktop and "librarian" metaphors. There's self-organizing systems, time-dimensional hierarchies, and extrapolations from the Chaos Theory, System Theory, Fractals, Genetics, and even Sacred Geometry. Just maybe, we could go beyond these ideas with a theory that there is a natural universal law for information organization! Form IS Meaning!
