Last year I worked through a few changes in the way people and organizations (co)exist, especially as technology changes our world(view) and networks blow away rigid structures. I called this series X is the new Y.

Well, one article I read today really has 9 new Xs, so to speak, all from the genius of Joi Ito, head of MIT Media Lab. (Explanations begin around 16:30 of video)

Ito calls them principles of innovation, and they fit perfectly into the x:y perspective.

• Resilience is the new Strength
• Pull is the new Push
• Risk is the new Safety
• System is the new Object
• Compass is the new Map
• Practice is the new Theory
• Disobedience is the new Compliance
• Emergence is the new Authority
• Learning is the new Education

These are some of the things I have been considering in my fumbling, amateur way. I shall write more on these, I think. They fit with the other x:y topics I have already written about:

• Share is the new Save
• Open is the new Social
• Everyone is the new High-Potential
• The Edge is the new Core
• The Individual is the new Institution
• Learning is the new Efficiency
• Giving is the new Taking
• Adapt is the new Adopt
• Social Business is the new Social Media
• Media is the new Brand
