Digital connectedness

Tim Berners Lee
“So how do we plan for a better future, better for
society?
We ensure that that both technological protocols and
social conventions respect basic values. That Web
remains a universal platform: independent of any
specific hardware device, software
platform, language, culture, or disability. That the Web
does not become controlled by a single company - or a
single country”

Approaches to change
• Retro-movement
Let’s return...to the order of the past
• Defenders of the status quo
Just keep going, carry on regardless, grounded in
the mainstream of scientific materialism
• Advocates of individual and collective change
Break the no longer appropriate patterns of the
past and tune into our highest future possibilities
– and being to operate from that place...?
4th July 2013 Over the Horizon GillySalmon 58

Working with emerging futures
1. Upward connection
Connecting to inspiration, sparks of intuition and
intent
2. Horizon connection
Listening to the feedback from the context
3. Downward or local connection
Engaging in and learning from locally embedded
fast-cycle connections
From Scharmer 2009 p,213

Changing ourselves: Quantum leaping
“Don’t confuse existing forms with the functions
that they enable. It’s the functions that
matter. Forms may be transient, the product
of historical or technological circumstances”
