Jinternet

Jinternet (n) =blend of the Japanese word for people “jin” (人/hito) and “internet”. 人ターネット An ever growing network of friends of different backgrounds and walks of life from which one can share life lessons and knowledge. To jinternet (v) the process of meeting new people, sitting, talking, asking questions, listening and learning. Jinternetting is done in person.

Neat and Simple, isn't it?

Well I wish I could take full credit for it but I cannot. The idea of Jinternet came from a local friend by the name of Kusakabe Katsuhiko, a carpenter and father of three.

While on a taiko and shishimai trip to Ise Shrine, we became acquainted and shared many perspectives on the world. He has not seen much of the world but grasps ideas through meeting people. He said, “I can’t use the internet worth a damn but I can use the Jinternet pretty darn well.” He explained that people use the internet to look things up and learn. He prefers to ask questions and listen. He knows that if the person doesn’t know the answer, someone else will. Sometimes he has the answer to someone else’s question.

It is a fairly simple concept but as we have become more and more reliant on the internet and social networking we do not spend as much time sitting, talking and listening. We sit and talk about small things but what about the deeper things in life. When was the last time you sat up till the wee hours of the morning having a discussion about random topics? When we do this we are Jinternetting or building our jinternet.

We network to find jobs and develop our careers. We do not network for the simple joy of meeting people and learning from them. “Jinternet” is just a modern way of making friends in the real world, having a good discussion and sharing knowledge and perspectives on the world.

Do you have a jinternet? Do you use it? Try jinternetting.
