]]> Comment on The New Patterns of Culture: Slow, Fast & Spiky by Mark Earls http://test.org.uk/2011/11/01/the-new-patterns-of-culture-slow-fast-spiky/#comment-1849 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 09:29:16 +0000 http://test.org.uk/?p=424#comment-1849 Matt. Great post but there is a simpler explanation for the shift from slow to spiky (which is at the heart of our new book http://mitpress.mit.edu/catalog/item/default.asp?ttype=2&tid=12599).

It’s the shift from a culture in which individuals follow experts, authorities
and traditions (with marginal experimentation) to one in which we copy those around us in a much less directed manner: the former giving rise to distinctive patterns of slow change; the latter to distinctive volatility – stochastic change in the popularity of items.

What you thinK?
