5111 - Summary/Objective
5112 -
511201 - Follow up ref SDS 21 0000, ref SDS 20 0000.
511202 -
511203 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Peter responding to a request yesterday,
511204 - ref DIP 2 0001, for feedback on the improvement to SDS that added
511205 - redundant links developed on 020320. ref SDS 19 0001
511207 -  ..
511208 - Peter comments today that email is a "killer application." ref DRT 1
511209 - SH6H  He therefore recommends....
511210 -
511211 -      Why not make SDS double-dots, also have a mailto: hyperlink
511212 -      embedded in them, that would fire up a new mail from the browser
511213 -      when clicked, and which would somehow contain, in addition to a
511214 -      subject heading provided by the user, a reference to its
511215 -      originating double-dot (or purple number), so that the receiving
511216 -      system could log it directly in the correct position in the
511217 -      knowledge web. ref DRT 1 MN6M
511218 - ..
511219 - This may be a useful thing today, however, it seems to add
511220 - marginal utility to what is already available.  The challenge people
511221 - face is transitioning from IT to a culture of knowledge that requires
511222 - linking the record to strengthen understanding.  The primary objective
511223 - of explicit links is to make it faster and easier for people to create
511224 - links that show alignment, an "audit trail" using traceability to
511225 - original sources, as set out on 020320. ref SDS 19 VP6F
511227 -  ..
511228 - Peter's letter has no links to anything, so the implication is that
511229 - his response is entirely ad hoc.
511230 - ..
511231 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0001 linked to this record and commenting...
511232 -
511233 -   1.  Opportunity comes from looking at accepted wisdom in a new
511234 -       light. ref DIT 1 MB5N

511240 -       Killer App Email Causes Mistakes Grows Demand for Intelligence
511241 -       Demand for SDS Intelligence Grows Killer App From Using Email
511242 -
511243 -
511244 -   2.  Email is a "killer app" because, like conversation and pictures,
511245 -       it seems like a fast, easy, cheap way to communicate using
511246 -       common sense instead of intelligence that appeals to laziness,
511247 -       as reported by Jack Park on 010908, ref SDS 11 YF5O, that is
511248 -       driven by human biology to take immediate action by constantly
511249 -       foraging on information, reviewed on 940609, ref SDS 5 4671,
511250 -       when in fact spontaneous impressions from sight and sound
511251 -       conveyed through discussion and images in meetings, calls and
511252 -       email, ref DIT 1 L26F, sow the seeds of error, loss, conflict,
511253 -       crisis and calamity that "kills" productivity, earnings and
511254 -       stock prices for the reasons set out in POIMS, ref OF 1 R69H,
511255 -       and further explained on 010908 citing experts who warn that
511256 -       email harms productivity. ref SDS 11 L27L
511258 -           ..
511259 -          [On 040312 laws of nature yield order, structure, pattern
511260 -          of cause and effect for logical analysis, ref SDS 22 RP6K;
511261 -          locality principle requires adding energy to connect cause
511262 -          and effect that converts information into the power of
511263 -          knowledge; Knowledge Management takes a lot of hard work
511264 -          (i.e., energy) without tools for intelligence support;
511265 -          without "knowledge," however, information overload drives
511266 -          management toward entropy, which makes email a "killer
511267 -          application" that kills productivity, from lectures on 21st
511268 -          century science. ref SDS 22 YH4G
511270 -        ..
511271 -       Research on 900303 shows people pay a price for relying on
511272 -       common sense instead of investing time for adding intelligence
511273 -       to information that creates knowledge needed for taking action
511274 -       that is effective. ref SDS 1 4456  On 990329 relying on common
511275 -       sense is a feature not a bug of human cognition. ref SDS 7 3196
511277 -        ..
511278 -       The value proposition for a Killer App is the difference between
511279 -       the cost of working intelligently and the price people pay by
511280 -       acting on impulse in email, meetings and calls, reviewed on
511281 -       011003, ref SDS 13 O76L, and on 900303 reviewing Jeremy
511282 -       Campbell's work on cognitive science. ref SDS 1 4456  Examples
511283 -       include....

511285 -          Economy failing continual bumbling... 001207, ref SDS 9 V54M
511286 -          National security tragic bubmbling... 010911, ref SDS 12 UP5K
511287 -          Enron bankruptcy chronic bumbling.... 020204, ref SDS 17 7O3K
511289 -        ..
511290 -       The value proposition for working intelligently recognizes that
511291 -       "communication" is not the same as sending and getting
511292 -       information, as occurs in email, (see explanation in POIMS,
511293 -       ref OF 1 3385, citing Drucker reviewed on 931130, ref SDS 4
511294 -       2855, but people don't know that, and those who suspect that
511295 -       email may not improve productivity, do not have enough time for
511296 -       communication, ref DIT 1 F57G, so they settle for IT using
511297 -       email, again per Jack Park's analysis on 010908. ref SDS 11 YF5O
511299 -        ..
511300 -       This equation of overwhelming biological attraction of email,
511301 -       ref DIT 1 468J, like the siren song of the sea that makes
511302 -       sailors delirious, and the sweet sound of the Pied Piper that
511303 -       leads people willingly down the wrong path, reviewed on 921205,
511304 -       ref SDS 2 4820, explains the overwhelming attraction of bad
511305 -       management, noted in POIMS, ref OF 1 MQ6J, and illustrated by...
511306 -
511307 -          Overwhelming tendency........... 001101, ref SDS 8 4O5K

511311 -
511312 -       ...that daily grows demand, for a solution enabling most people
511313 -       to indulge impulse to use email, by relying on a few people to
511314 -       use SDS for converting information into useful knowledge. as the
511315 -       ripple effect of more people having too many problems using
511316 -       methods they like, e.g., meetings, calls email, causes
511317 -       productivity, earnings and stock prices to fall, reported on
511318 -       001207, ref SDS 9 V54M,
511320 -        ..
511321 -       Somehow that seems like the winning combination that generates a
511322 -       new killer app, discussed with Doug on 001210. ref SDS 16 YL5K
511323 -       and earlier on 011120. ref SDS 15 H67I
511325 -        ..
511326 -       Eric Armstrong's letter on 011003 illustrates how email grows
511327 -       demand for intelligence to solve information overload.
511328 -       ref SDS 13 EC5N
511330 -        ..
511331 -       I just wondered what your take on this analysis might be.
