Journal Mac Degger's Journal: Epiphany?
I've just realised a rather interesting effect the internet has wrought: the return of the guild.
As in the middle ages, 'birds of a feather' flocked together. You had the guild of haberdashers, armourers, cobblers and so forth. The internet however is bringeng them back in a big, fragmented way. All those forums, communities and webpages, they basically produce the guilds again.
There are differences, of course: information travels faster, and I believe is shared more often than previously, and there are much more guilds, of more different types than ever.
But might this not mean that the historical rules of guilds can now apply again? What have we learned from history, and what can we apply? Time to read up on some history, I reckon...
