During this RSA presentation (starts on 11:00), lecturers make an analysis on where technology is transforming our society. Some remarkable affirmations:
"We decided to put all our information into a big grey box, and hope nobody is looking in."
"Every single human being here has access to the internet"
"Technology improves individual capacity more than social"
"Teach people not answers, but how to ask questions"
"We can't leave people off the hook"
"Data, information and knowledge are different levels. We should slow down to learn/teach how to make questions"
Despite all this progress we still have a lot of things to do, such as, improving security. And also to reshape our mentality and our culture of sharing. We also should include and consider each and every individual to get the benefits of technology. As they mention during the QA, there has to be areas where designers and users can come together and develop better systems.
Our global society is full of differences. Automate things is not enough, having a smartphone doesn't exactly mean it empowers a kid development. And that is exactly the key: EDUCATION
