Be useful, collect stuff, tell stories
by JS on October 15, 2006
Paul Saffo is a forecaster who keeps a paper journal, but posts some of his thoughts online. He put up The Internet and the three desires last month, and it made a lot of sense to me:
Reduce human complexity to its essentials, and I think humans are motivated by three desires: being useful, collecting stuff and telling each other stories. The Internet’s astonishing trajectory is due in no small part to the fact that, uniquely among all media, it has become a vehicle for satisfying all three of these desires.
