In this animation, Manuel Lima, senior UX design lead at Microsoft Bing, talks about a developing paradigm shift from viewing the world by means of a tree metaphor to viewing it from a network metaphor. I don't think it's new, as Brafman and Beckstrom reveal in The Starfish and the Spider: The Unstoppable Power of Leaderless Organizations, but is interesting as, I think, a difference between worldviews involved in collectivist central planning as opposed to free market capitalism. Anyway, to the video...
