Mark has a nice post where he picks up Tom's deliberations about Development-in-a-Box v. Connectivity-in-a-Box. As he so often does, Mark zooms out and offers some helpful meta-analyisis. One excerpt:

The difference between the two concepts comes down to ends and means.

While it is true that "development" is actually a process, "Development in a Box" is a phrase that screams "Outcome!". In contrast, "connectivity" has a range of possile understandings that can indicate only the potential for future exchanges or mass migration or ongoing flows of economic and military might. Therefore, what "Connectivity" yells is "Change!".
