An artist was talking about the victorian ago and innovation in that time. He talked about how free and unbounded creativity was at that time. He talked about how technology, and a page in a large red book headed ‘The Suppression of Absence’

A friend, last week, talked to me the era between the wars. A time of incredible innovation and change in physics. Today we are experiencing a similar rush of innovation and change and opportunity ...

As the media industry de-industrializes we see an opportunity to create a new kind of media company. One that is distributed -- like the innovation that is occuring -- one that is designed to rapidly scale early stage internet businesses.

we think about betaworks as a network. A network of companies. These companies are then loosely coupled to one another usually at the level of data exchange. We encourage our companies to open API's and intergrate data from other companies, including betaworks companies.

This shadow of data is what links the network.

induction: "a series of intutive hunches followed by empirical evidence, arrives at laws and theories about how the universe operates"

Hume and Mill said -- induction works because native is orderly, that is, its based on mathematical patterns that are assumed to hold throughout the universe and not to change over time ... only to become more visible over time.. Mill called this "uniformity of nature"Feynman on a Nova interview in 1983 likended a scientist to a man who knows nothing about chess but is allowed once every day to observe for a minute one small part of the chess board while a game is in progress:)What role does simplicity play in this?

In a distributed world we believe a media company should also assume a new form. This is what we are seeking to build at betaworks.

"betaworks' mission is to drive innovation (and profits) through the creation of a distributed network of web based applications, platforms and data services enabling interaction, collaboration and the sharing of content."
