Jannik Kaiser & Elsa Henderson have their own blogging style and it's a refreshing change from the usual. Here, they discuss (and work with, and dive into) the concept of choice and decision as it relates to living in a networked world. To summarize, in their words: "we are not passive consumers or bystanders in the course of history. There is choice and agency everywhere... In a networked world, there is nothing that matters more than what you do... As we reclaim our sense of choice, we inhabit more of our agency, which in turn enables us to have a greater impact." Being clear about our choices helps us reclaim our sense of agency, but it isn't the same as agency. "Agency refers to the ability to direct your own actions in a meaningful way. In the field of systems impact, agency is often the precursor to creating change."
