Peer-To-Peer Sharing > Parallel Universe for 2 Bloggers?

First of all, yours truly wanted to bring up the concept of PTP Sharing that hit me  in the head at that Internet of Things DevFest last weekend at the Elliott/Nesbitt Theater in the Mesa Arts Center. You know - where everything gets connected to everybody and everything, right?
Sometimes yours truly feels like a Neanderthal alien in the fast-emerging IoT universe until starting up a conversation with a BlockChain entrepreneur snagged leaving the fest. He nailed it to me by saying "You know the way email disrupted the world. Right? . . "  ah-Hah!
A parallel universe is a theory of a self-contained separate reality co-existing with one's own. A specific group of parallel universes is called a "multiverse", although this term can also be used to describe the possible parallel universes that constitute reality.
It was one of those revelations that rocked my world for sure.
Anyway ... here's a connection to an urban dude not previously known to me: Richard Layman who lives and works in Washington D.C. The only connection between him and me is that your MesaZona blogger enjoyed four years there at Georgetown University way-back-when.
Richard publishes a blog called Rebuilding Place in the Urban Space   
"A community’s physical form, rather than its land uses, is its most intrinsic and enduring characteristic." [Katz, EPA] This blog focuses on place and placemaking and all that makes it work--historic preservation, urban design, transportation, asset-based community development, arts & cultural development, commercial district revitalization, tourism & destination development, and quality of life advocacy--along with doses of civic engagement and good governance watchdogging."
Certainly both this blog and that blog tune in on some of the wavelengths
