When I look at
this increasing number, which is directly
related to the increase in this number, I infer with high belief that the social system within the online realm will be one in which is involved multi-dimensionally, and where interactions among individual actors in this social system to be increasingly robust and competitive. My analysis concludes with the notion that deduces: the increasing population of internet users, complemented with the accessibility of easier and intuitive technology, will drive an infinite number of demand in social real estate, or as we know right now, domain names; where the opportunity exists to supply social actors an entry to create, publish, and manipulate, as a method of producing Symbolic interactionism within the social system.
As technological progression continues to move toward higher efficiencies, content creation, including website deployment, will be increasingly easier to develop and manage. Therefore, my first theory is that: the lemonade stand that the young entrepreneur started outside his house, will translate to an eCommerce store given the changes in the economic and technological environment. As for our literary creators, to provide an additional example, instead of writing in our little notebooks and sharing our poems with our imaginary friends, the content will now be shared online. For these two examples, and examples where individual units are not pursuing endeavors where it is laboriously exhaustive, we can label this subgroup as the “Average Social Class”. I believe that the Average Social Class, no matter how socially, educationally, or economically incompetent he or she may be, will have a demand of at least one social domain, where this social domain grants the individual actor the opportunity to participate within the social system, regardless of how important or insignificant they may be considered socially or economically, relative to other individual units.
The subclass of the labor intensive creates the second theory in this thesis, where I define the labor intensive as the individual actors that comprise of individual businesses and multifaceted functions within the social system which operate with the intent of earning and contributing towards economic and social profits. This subclass of individual actors are the driving economic force within the social system and therefore will actively seek to enhance and improve their economic functions. Just like “domainers”, today, where the average owns a portfolio of 5-10 domains, this social subclass, similarly, will own 5-10 businesses, which yields different amounts of social and economic profits. As we continue to progress further as a system, content creation, networking, publication, and the manipulation of these functions will become increasingly easier and intuitive for humans to operate with. Thus, as a result, for these functions that this labor intensive group pursues, it is matched directly with the demand for social real estate, where the functions are able to be created, published, and manipulated, as a method for symbolic interactionism within the social system.
Finally, the social system cannot function without its infrastructure that is provided by critical agents that seek to organize and allow for the existence of social interactions between individual actors. For these agents, I am not referring to anything more complicated than search itself. Agents, such as Google, that provide direct search, are the gateway and infrastructure for continued interactions between the social actors. In this sense, it is search that yields the opportunities for continued improvement and interconnectedness within the social and economic environments. More specifically, as the number and demand of social domains continue to rise, organization of these domains will need to be organized accurately and intuitively. Due to these requirements, in a system where each individual actor owns at least one social domain, it can be assumed that domain extensions, such as .SHOP, or .MEDIA, will and ought to be used as the first parameters for accurately and categorically defining all possible social domains.
A lot of posts here have not recognized the future social implications of the social system, in which we simply know as the online realm. In this thesis I tried to outline that the future of this ever-growing social system will be met with the infinite demand of social domains, where domains represent a social participation for creating, publishing, and manipulating as a method of producing Symbolic interactionism within the social system. To put most of this into perspective, lastly, we look at some hypothetical possibilities where each individual actor in this social system, and which must be met with a social domain to be able to participate within the social system: At the time of this writing, there were
3,583,534,673 Internet users in the world. Now for some very basic assumptions:
- Let’s assume 95% of these individuals are within the “Average Social Class” subgroup. Therefore, this subclass will own (3,583,534,673 * 0.95 * 1) = 3,404,357,939 domain names.
- For the remaining 5%, “The Social Drivers”, will each own on average 3 domain names. Therefore, this subclass will own (3,583,534,673 * 0.05 * 3) = 537,530,200.95
Therefore, the total amount of domain names represented in this example is 3,941,888,139.95.
