Okay, a rant about how I believe Clique Space would help humanity in some important areas of social decay/crisis/whatever else might pique the reader's interest...
Firstly, without a doubt, I believe this Clique Space concept will help society lift non-metropolitan communities out of poverty. Clique Space was born of my frustrations at the pig-headed nature of management practise to physically collocate. There may have been a time when the work that needed to be done required the labour resources to come together to do it, and I wouldn't try to doubt that in many occupations, this is still very much the case. But physical collocation is less of a concern, and more of an appeal to the status-quo in a post-industrial society. The factory floor is an anachronism that clings to work management practises, like a drunkard to a light post.
Clique Space will let a company (with individual consent) coordinate work in a highly flexible way that combines the capabilities of multiple media with role-based and individual behaviour preferences. All of this behaviour is controlled ultimately by the individual who logs on to a Clique Space system through the one or more devices they possess.
A person who has access to a Clique Space, and can connect any media to it can communicate a virtual presence to anyone else so connected. This presents the practicality of virtual offices and workplaces to management in a way so that they receive all the information they may ever need about their labour force extracted and distilled from the noise and distraction of an office or factory floor.
The individual employee doesn't have to travel to an office. The individual needn't have to consider relocation. The individual needn't have to weigh up a life of displacement against one of poverty. The individual is earning the same type of money that their highly skilled city-brethren might have without having to leave their rural or remote home community.
The community benefits because this individual who is earning the same type of money as their city-dwelling colleagues is spending their money in their home community. This money circulates in their home community, and brings prosperity, and a reason for others to stay in the community they have selected as their home.
Hence, Clique Space would provide a way for rural and remote sustainability, and would act as a facility through which members of any community would exercise their discretion when connecting to a global one.
