As many may already know, AEBL is a technology toolkit or framework which allows people to access and share information.
The act of sharing information is, simply stated, a form of communication. That communication can serve any number of functions, whether it be for commerce, education, or collaborative innovation. It is the latter, that this post is ultimately referring to.
Most tools that we get and use, are built with a specific, obvious function. A hammer, a word processor, or a car. What they don't easily represent, is an idea. Or more specifically, innovation. AEBL is more of an idea or innovation tool, and so is difficult to express, as it relies on the imagination of the potential user, rather than the developers telling the user how to use it or what it does.
So in this post, I will provide another idea of what AEBL was built for, and how it can empower a user, as well as how AEBL represents and supports community building.
