Welcome to the HyperAge!

HyperLocal — Citizen Journalism — Social Media

These are a few of the terms buzzing around the Internet in regards to the HyperAge. What is the HyperAge exactly? It's a revolution in the way our attention is focused and aggregated.

Many of us are well acquainted with the term "the long tail." The Internet has allowed us to continually zoom into tighter and tighter niches, to observe and recognize the potential in even the smallest aspect of "things," and to bring that minutiae into the attention field of others. This magnification, or re-orientation, of our attention is one of the most influential factors in creating this emerging HyperAge.

Join my colleague and me as we explore, identify and define the new culture: this new HyperAge!
