liquid

When you are liquid you are no longer constrained by icon click over-simplicity, you command your information as richly as you command language.

When you are liquid relevant information is always within eye's reach and relevant tools within hand's reach. Everything is apparent at a glance - document icons communicate, tools are deeply explorable. You are informed - not overwhelmed. You can zig and zag in every direction. In any direction. Making paths, relationships and meaning as you go along - with your information, your tools and your media itself.

When you are liquid all words become hyperwords. Dynamically, automatically. You can issue commands on words like a magician waving a magic wand. You mould your own words and those of others like silly-putty.

When you are liquid learning comes easily, at your own pace, your own depth. You learn about your information, your people, your own thoughts - your tools and your environment in your own way, with active, gentle, support. You are free, you move as you wish, you understand more, you do more.

When you are liquid there is less hassle - you are free from clerical tasks which the systems themselves can perform; filtering, backups, maintenance, filing, and so on. Everything is synchronized, automatically & intelligently.

When you are liquid collaboration flows as easily as thoughts - verbal and written dialogue is recorded and accessible. You can communicate with millions as easily as you can communicate with one.

When you are liquid the connection between people, information and tools become fluid and active. Information no longer hides behind a screen, in some database or on a network. The computer gets out of the way - as you dive, swim with, and in, your information.You have a fluid overview of everything and you are in total control.

When you are liquid information organizes itself, you never have to file anything, you tag things with special associations if they are important to you, everything is presented dynamically and is manipulatable dynamically.

When you are liquid you have access to all your information through every medium, the medium no longer passively transmits the information, the medium actively enhances the information through that mediums unique characteristics.

When you are liquid there are no information ghettos where multimedia whiz-bang encyclopedias or flashy web sites hold their information hostage and dictate its behavior & interactivity.

Everything flows. Everywhere. You can really dance now.
