Asymmetry, Iran and the Internet
Posted by Paul 22 June 2009Great Post by Umair Haque over at Harvard Business Publishing Blogs on the political situation in Iran from a framework approach rather than just commentary. Including:
"There is nothing more asymmetrical than an ideal. In the right hands, an ideal is a weapon more potent than any club, gun, or bomb. It can turn a two nerdy computer science PhDs at Stanford into corporate titans. It can turn an unknown junior senator into the President of the United States"
Asymmetry is one of the defining principles of the 21st century and the internet is providing a lot of the infrastructure that provides that asymmetry, not just in politics but in business as well.
