2. Blood, Sweat and Tears
This online world is ruled by the "Goddess of Small Annoyances." She is powerful, passionate, colorful, forward moving, but full of little things that trip you up. The one sock missing... She is forcing us into a new life. After millenia of hardwired communications patterns, we have been challenged to quickly develop NEW ones. To translate our offline learnings into this new space.
