In response to “Digital Darwinism”, people, organisations and society need to adapt to the different characteristics of digital information
Successful adaptation requires an understanding of the nature of information and the information ecosystems that develop under a range of selection processes
Ecosystems develop conventions that determine the pace, quality and friction with which information is processed. These conventions are embedded in the structure and communications of ecosystems and the entities that comprise them; we call them Interacting Entities (IEs)—these include people, computer systems, animals, organisations or parts of organisations
Summary
In response to “Digital Darwinism”, people, organisations and society need to adapt to the different characteristics of digital information. Ecosystems develop conventions that determine the pace, quality and friction with which information is processed These conventions are embedded in the structure and communications of ecosystems and the entities that comprise them; we call them Interacting Entities (IEs)—these include people, computer systems, animals, organisations or parts of organisations. Digital information offers the potential of faster pace and reduced friction, but to achieve these, and build in the necessary information quality, ecosystems may require extensive change to respond to different and diverse interactions. To make these changes sustainable, they need to be compatible with the changing selection pressures resulting from digital change.
