Phenotropic Development

In the development of Web 3.0, IPv6 is required to allow for more devices to communicate with each other. The richness of how those devices communicate with each other in the future is dependent on phenotropic development. What this development will do is basically allow software to move past protocol adherence toward pattern recognition. The main significance of this in terms of expanding the web is the size and richness of programs. Jaron Lanier, web 2.0 pioneer and Microsoft partner architect, discusses how we need to start thinking about creating software differently because
“we will not be writing programs bigger than about ten million lines of code no matter how fast our processors become,”

and the way to think about this is through “pattern recognition” vs. “protocol adherence.”

The way to think about the necessity of phenotropic development in computing is to think of making use of superior developing technology through richness of expression.





Or perhaps how the development of technology and richness of expression may go hand-in-hand. So what does the proposition of phenotropic development mean in commerce? Principally, commerce will move increasingly from selling and buying activities toward social dealings. As we’ve seen relatively recently, firms have moved increasingly toward more social relationships with consumers through social media, such as Facebook.

Through advancements such as IPv6 and phenotropic development, businesses and consumers are likely to move into an increasingly social relationship space far beyond consumer-firm relationships we see today.
