Innovation processes revisited by Internet

Abstract. Internet, far from being a simple technology, is truly changing our way of life. Just as the invention of the alphabet, or the printing, Internet is a fundamental technology that we have designed, but which, in turn, is impacting our behavior, our relationship with the world and ourselves. By empowering ordinary citizens, it helps us to face a cognitive paradigm shift. This is deeply rooted in the design process of Internet, which has led a new way to perform innovation. Some Internet fundamentals The deep roots of Internet When trying to understand why Internet became so important, two very important quotes come to mind.

Why virtual-world economies matter

In this special edition on virtual-world goods and trade, we are pleased to present articles from a global cohort of contributors covering a wide range of issues. Some of our writers, such Edward Castronova, Julian Dibbell or KZero's Nic Mitham will be well known to you as distinguished leaders in the field, but it is equally our pleasure to introduce exciting new voices. Here you will find pieces written by academics, practitioners, journalists, a documentary filmmaker and perhaps the youngest contributor to JVWR yet, Eli Kosminksy, who attends high school in upstate New York. We would also point out that this issue extends its format to include Anthony Gilmore's pictorial story, Julian Dibbell's audio interview, and Lori Landay's machinima. In real life, most contributors live in the US, the UK and Europe, and we, the editors, are based in Australia and France. We express warm thanks to the team at the University of Texas, especially to Jeremiah Spence, our editor-in-chief for his guidance throughout this process. We begin with our own thought piece, which is designed to contextualise the deeper contents herein by way of plotting the virtual goods path and placing some historical sign posts along the way
