From the smart folks at the Waag Society - institutue of art, science & technology...
Excerpt from A Manifesto for Smart Citizens...
Smart Citizens:
•Will take responsibility for the place they live, work and love in;
•Value access over ownership, contribution over power;
•Will ask forgiveness, not permission;
•Know where they can get the tools, knowledge and support they need;
•Value empathy, dialogue and trust;
•Appropriate technology, rather than accept it as is;
•Will help the people that struggle with smart stuff;
•Ask questions, then more questions, before they come up with answers;
•Actively take part in design efforts to come up with better solutions;
•Work agile, prototype early, test quickly and know when to start over;
•Will not stop in the face of seemingly huge boundaries/barriers;
•Unremittingly share their knowledge and their learning, because they know this is where true value comes from.
