My paradigm shift.G

I've been contacted by a Defense Corporation.

And my Paradigm shifted.

I've learned the Government refers

to me as an " Intelligence Anthropologist".

( Not a "security anthropologist". )

Seems I've been wearing the wrong

hat for 8 years.

I started out studying the Internet,

hense the nomenclature,

"Internet Anthropologist".

And I've let the net guide me,

if your listening it talks.

I set up OSINT to listen to the

net.

And looked where my best fit would

be, most useful, most challenging.

I got into Anthropology by accident.

It wasn't my first choice.

But in a few years I could feel

the power and scope of anthropology.

My study of the Internet started

before there was an Internet, just

bulletin boards you could log on to

to access private data bases.

There were not even browsers

then.

So the Internet has molded me.

Every day is exciting, and as

it evolves exponentially I have

had to adjust my focus.

In the beginning I could pretty

well keep up with everything on

the WWW.

But soon noted the huge growth

in every direction.

And I had to make choices on what

to keep up with.

And those choices have lead me here,

to what I think is my highest and best use.

5 years ago I could not have predicted

the Internet would be HERE, or working

like it is and on.

I was able to predict the process,

and context.

Our best tools currently seem to be

technical and theoretical.

Tracking, tracing and peering into

closed cells.

The next 5 years look to be as

exciting and challenging as the

past 5 were.

They certainly look to be more

profitable.
