    I found this interesting website today, Global Oneness. Replied to some of the questioning that led me to my previous post. This video presents the project ideas and themes (youtube).

    These days I was remembering that as a kid, I was surrounded by visions of the future, and for many of those aspects, we are living in that future.

    Especially when looking at technology today. But it seems to me that the more we got into that future the more we forgot to visualise another distant future. A future where we solved some of our big problems as humanity, such as pollution, poverty or even wars...

    I think we look to much for a technological-small-daily future updates in our everyday life, and we forget to visualise collectively a nice long term future.

    How many futures from the last 20 years of Hollywood movies presented us a fresh, bright idea for tomorrow? Many have tried to project us into it, but we always get the disastrous or the caricatural... I mean even if BladeRunner is one of my favourite movies, I'd never want to live in such a world...

    We have the technology to deeply mutate our society, to redesign everything, to rethink the way we live together... great, but where is the new model for

    Government 2.0
    School 2.0
    Sport 2.0
    Food 2.0

    Gibson said something really true about the availability of the future.

    And it really comes down to the design of a new model for kids. It makes me sad to see that young boys and girls today, in 2008 still the toys 1.0, GI Joe and Barbie... If you watch a cartoon for kids today, the hero always solves problem by hitting it hard...

    There is no "Problem Solving Model 2.0" for kids...

    Schools should teach kids gardening, teach Masanobu Fukuoka's Permaculture concepts, have an approach to computer rebuilding-transformation-adaptation, so kids would learn how to customise their technology, bring some creativity in the process of interaction also with the hardware. Kids should learn to code what they need.

    So my question is, where does it start?
    What would I change in the model I myself propose to the small ones.

    Where is Hero 2.0?
