David, i would love to agree, but
open and closed are not absolute, only
tendencies, and there is fair evidence that
a fairly closed system is likely to generate
more income than an open one, because
the majority of players benefit from the
more closed approach. My hospital
example still stands as a paradigm for
semi closed `participatory design" that is
likely to emerge as the groupware style,
like pollsters questions, they can only get
back what they ask forced into a
distribution curve of at times dubious
relevance. And this can make lots of
money. market forces will not guarantee a
more humane groupware world.
