"The problems we have cannot be solved at the same level of thinking with which we created them."

headline:::A.Einstein

Jacque Fresco is an industrial engineer, architectural designer, social engineer, and futurist based in Florida. His optimistic view and desire to create solutions that maximally benefit the greatest number of people stem from his formative years during the Great Depression.//Lifeboat-Foundation

"What is needed is the intelligent management of Earth's resources. If we really wish to put an end to our ongoing international and social problems we must eventually declare Earth and all of its resources as the common heritage of all the world's people."//Jacque Fresco//Forbes

"All too often, the Futurists are involved in business or how to make a buck in the future, which are the aims of an individual, self-centered, predatory society where the bottom line is profit; not the well-being of people."//Meta-Magazine

"Taking advantage of the latest technologies, Fresco has planned the way to beat the scarcity of resources by using a totally renewable energies such as the geothermal, controlled fusion, solar, photovoltaic, wind, and designing energy-efficient cities able to provide all citizens with the highest healthcare and education. Most of the work, in Fresco’s vision, would be carried out by machines, as it is already, but unlike now, people would have more leisure time for themselves."//Herald de Paris

"As artificial intelligence rapidly develops, machines will be assigned the tasks of complex decision making in industrial, military, and governmental affairs," Fresco believes. "This would not imply a takeover by machines. Instead, it will be a gradual transfer of decision-making processes to machine intelligence as the next phase of social evolution." //allbusiness

"If you don't support the community, the community won't support you."

What's most important to me is that Neuromancer
is about the present. It's not really about an imagined
future. It's a way of trying to come to terms with the
awe and terror inspired in me by the world in which we
live.
That's because the past is cycling back to you for another look. What has been old may become new again. Are you ready to experience something resembling time travel?
There is more to writing than putting words next to each other, and there is more to writing hypertext than throwing together a bunch of links.
"You cannot be a good writer of serious fiction if you are not depressed."

the following references to what I consider some of the most interesting resources
In the grim future of most cyberpunk, the message taken back from the night journey is seldom cheering, but it does move beyond the "disintegrating society" to a realization that has the potential for renewal in both the individual and society.
The really amazing thing is, we can. This really is a possible future, if only we work for it.
I hope my emphasis on content over style makes up for the lack of glitter

“Möglicherweise ist dies auch eine Lösung des Fermi-Paradoxons. Der italienisch-amerikanische Physiker Enrico Fermi stellte schon in den dreissiger Jahren fest, dass vieles dafür sprach, dass ausserirdische Intelligenzen im Universum häufig sein müssten, doch wenn sie es wären, so Fermi, müssten sie schon lange hier sein - doch wir beobachten sie nicht. Die Auflösung des Paradoxons könnte also einerseits darin liegen, dass sie längst hier sind, und wir sie nicht als solche erkennen können, und anderseits, dass sie viel zu beschäftigt mit ihren virtuellen Welten sind, als dass sie sich eingehender mit einer neuen, kleinen Zivilisation auf einem unbedeutenden kleinen Planeten am Rande der Milchstrasse kümmern könnten.”//finalfrontier

“Energieautonomie ist nicht nur ein politisches oder kulturelles Konzept, auch keine rein technologische Neuerung, sondern die umfassendste Veränderung der Weltgesellschaft seit der Industriellen Revolution. Wie wir arbeiten, uns bewegen, wohnen, konsumieren – alles wird sich unter dem Paradigma der Energieautonomie verändern. Und für jeden Lebensbereich wird es Gewinner und Verlierer geben, Helden und Gegenkräfte, Hindernisse und Wettkämpfe. Es geht um Leben und Tod, denn der Klimawandel beginnt schon, die Zeit verrinnt erbarmungslos, Altes muss überwunden, Neues erfunden und erkämpft werden.”//energyautonomy

"Nexus presents a holistic vision and an organic process of transformation derived from psychological, spiritual and social development of each individual in the story. It shows that through our access to the source of human creativity, we can regain lost hope due to pain, sorrow, loneliness, depression and despair. Nexus offers solutions to existing problems, since our greatest circle of influence is our own transformation first and foremost. Before we can make social changes, we need to look within ourselves and find the source of inspiration and guidance. Through the connection to the source, the Nexus we can empower ourselves and others."//Title: Nexus : A Neo Novel/Author: Deborah Morrison and Arvind Singh

"For almost a thousand years the Taurus Nexus was the greatest and most magnificent empire mindkind had ever seen. Science mixed with hedonistic indulgence, libertarianism with aicratic guidance. Investment and technology flowed in from all over known space. Even the rise of new toposophic ai elsewhere in the galaxy did not harm the Nexus, although there is no doubt that higher level subversion had a huge effect on local politics, and many bionts, cyborgs, vecs, and superturingrade ai conjured nostalgic visions of the Nexus free of foreign interference"//The Taurus Nexus

"This movement for the individual race calls us to live as we want, think and act according to our deepest and truest desires.

There is no need for titles, no names or categories that dictate expectations. Instead there is a need to break away from social confinements and live according to your heart through allowing its most precious beats to dictate the path you are to follow. Let us allow the internal beast to speak for itself, that in a unified movement the metal bars of society that dictate our lives melt away and allow each individual to act upon their truest desires."//Megan Lucero- The Daily Nexus

"Key duties include developing and implementing:

• a strategy for Nexus's involvement in schools and community groups
• crime prevention initiatives and campaigns for young people; and
• a strategy to reduce anti-social behaviour caused by young people on Metro."//nexus..uk

Information Management: A Proposal

" it would be so much easier if everybody asking me questions all the time could just read my database, and it would be so much nicer if I could find out what these guys are doing by jumping into a similar database of information for them"

In 1989, Berners-Lee submitted a proposal at CERN to develop an information system that would create a web of information. Initially, his proposal received no reply, but he began working on his idea anyway. In 1990, he wrote the Hypertext Transfer Protocol
(HTTP)—the language computers would use to communicate hypertext documents over the Internet and designed a scheme to give documents addresses on the Internet.
He also wrote the first web server. A web server is the software that stores web pages on a computer and makes them available to be accessed by others. Berners-Lee set up the first web server known as "info.cern.ch." at CERN./////ibiblio

His specifications of URIs, HTTP and HTML were refined as Web technology spread.////w3

• The Uniform Resource Locator (URL), which specifies how each page of information is given a unique "address" at which it can be found.
• Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP), which specifies how the browser and server send the information to each other,.
• Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML), a method of encoding the information so it can be displayed on a variety of devices./////ideafinder

CERN is a wonderful organisation. It involves several thousand people, many of them very creative, all working toward common goals.///w3

Over the years, openness of information has remained Berners-Lee's guiding principle. That is why he never took steps to gain intellectual property or other commercial rights over the Web, as the international computing community came to realize its immense potential.///MIT

Although the Web's conception began as a tool to aid physicists answer tough questions about the Universe, today its usage applies to various aspects of the global community///cern

ENQUIRE was an early project (in the second half of 1980)

ENQUIRE is a method of documenting a system.   It concentrates  on
the  way the system  is composed  of parts,  and how these  parts  are
interrelated.//infomesh
