Hi MANIK
you make good points.
I agree that we probably share an urgent and heartfelt sense of need for 
fundamental Global Change.

This competition has just been announced. Asking people to write a 
paragraph reversing the Panopticon effect of the Internet of Things to 
envision the City of Trust in the freedom society. 
http://www.theinternetofthings.eu/content/new-years-contest-panopticon-metaphor-internet-things-%E2%80%93-why-not-if-it-were-opposite

" What could be the metaphor of a free society where individuals are 
endowed with the capability to exploit their talents and realise their 
dreams, where social groups stand together, and where organisations 
adopt an ethical conduct? If we accept that Panopticon can be the 
metaphor for the surveillance society, the City of Control, the human 
enslaved by his objects, what could be the opposite concept for the 
freedom society, the City of Trust, the empowered individual?"

I think it's an excellent question.

Answers anyone?

cheers
Ruth
