Emergent Future

I admit, a name like 'Emergent Future' doesn't necessarily burst with obvious meaning. However, this site does actually serve a very particular purpose (well, more than one really). This site is focused on areas of technology that revolve around the word 'emergent' - not just as in, new technologies, but rather a different use of the word. Emergent Gameplay, for example, refers to an activity within a virtual environment where players create a game using the rules of the world, but using them in a way that the developer did not intend. Thus, emergent in this case means that I am looking out for new ways of using technology, new ways to view the world through technology, and new break throughs that allow people to interact with each other in ways never before dreamed. More specifically, I'll be focusing on areas such as web development, electronics, online games, and community management.
