Democratizing The Future I
El artículo me ha gustado porque sistematiza algunos conceptos y explica líneas de pensamiento que creo que están en la cabeza de mucha gente que trabaja con tecnologías de la información. Siempre te queda la duda si el voluntarismo es el elemento esencial de la visión, pero no creo que sea el caso.

Algunas citas:

A Change of Age: "There is too much ‘stuff’ and a growing realization that filling the future with more and more consumer-driven technology and marketable goods does not
necessarily guarantee higher growth, a better quality of life or even life itself, given the state of the planet. Beneath the surface things are moving."

Beyond Consumption: Creativity: "This greater freedom to pick and choose, when matched with new technologies, signals the final demise of the 20th century and of mass consumption, and marks a shift towards mass creativity."

Beyond Technology: "The dematerialization of happiness is matched by the ability of the new ambient
technologies to dematerialize benefits. As a new age seeks greater expression and
more sustainable wellbeing, new digital technologies offer greater possibilities. More personalized futures are matched by the ability of these technologies to facilitate customization and empowerment."

New Economic Value: "If, therefore, the industrial era was characterized by consumption, the next era will be characterized by context."

Social Innovation: "The difference lies in the notion of social innovation as opposed to technology or market innovation. Social innovation is based on researching social needs and developing social solutions. Such innovation implies new ways of living and new ways of doing."
