Future networks; High trust value-networks
The expectation of future networks is that they will be more closed and centered around a certain shared purpose in so-called ‘high trust value-networks’ creating both social and financial capital to support their cause. So even while the technological developments allow us to be in touch with an ever-wider range of people, the tendency is to use these new technological possibilities to create networks that are:
- More personal
- More closed to outsiders
- Relatively small (to safeguard the self-generating power of the platforms)
- Based on trust and reciprocity.
