Emergentie, het geheel is meer dan de som der delen, network effects, 1+1=3, een mooi voorbeeld.

TED | Talks | Blaise Aguera y Arcas: Jaw-dropping Photosynth demo (video)

Using photos of oft-snapped subjects (like Notre Dame) scraped from around the Web, Photosynth (based on Seadragon technology) creates breathtaking multidimensional spaces with zoom and navigation features that outstrip all expectation.

Over emergentie is trouwens op fabchannel een reeks lezingen te zien. In de zoekmachine zoeken op “paradisolezingen: 1+1=3″. Aanrader evenals de andere lezingen!
