What if tech tried to be healing instead of just addictive?
- by Rohan Gunatillake
'...It is ridiculous that we blame young people for being addicted to their phones and apps when the simple truth is that they are designed to be addictive. It is time to apportion responsibility where it is due.
[....] It is easy to throw our hands in the air, declaring that this is simply how technology works, but that’s not correct. The reason that so much tech doesn’t support wellbeing is because wellbeing was not a consideration in its design. To solve the problem, companies have to make it a design condition that’s measured and optimised.
Whether you are a giant global platform or a hip new startup, the most important first step is to give a damn...'

A human being may not harm a corporation or, through inaction, allow a corporation to come to harm.
Just a quick perspective:
If The Revolution were to happen tomorrow, and we all got our basic universal income and neat pleather jumpsuits...
...and somebody were to ask me to volunteer to work 20 hours a week, for an open-source non-profit geographical software initiative, For The Good Of Society, doing essentially the same work I do now...
I'd say yes. In an instant. No question. People *like* doing work that has an actual purpose.
So, some friends and I are forming a rural hackerspace / permaculture village / homesteading cooperative of sorts, up in the mountain northwest. Still in the land-searching, saving-up-moneys phase, but the 5 to 8 of us core members have already helped each other build off-grid homes and lived together as neighbors, so at least we have that proof-of-concept / experience / confidence, so it's maybe slightly less pie-in-the-sky than other similar ideas...
Interested?
Questions and boosts welcome!
