From Competion to Cooperation. Hear about tech that matters.

DigitYser

"Breakthroughs in our capacities to communicate and coordinate restructure society. Language birthed culture and hunter-gatherer tribes. Writing forged kingdoms and agriculture-age empires. Printing enabled nations and industrial-age economies. The Internet launched a new restructuring of society, but is constrained by computing tech designed for centralized control. Learning from nature's blueprints, Ceptr provides an evolvable, fully distributed framework for coordination and sense-making on all scales." <a href="http://ceptr.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Arthur Brock</a>"If we are to preserve the democratic and creative promise of the Internet, we must continuously diagnose control points as they emerge and devise mechanisms of recreating diversity of constraint and degrees of freedom in the network to work around these forms of reconcentrated power." <a href="http://benkler.org/Degrees_of_Freedom_Dimensions_of_Power_Final.pdf" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Yochai Benkler</a>___________Each of us wants to have control over how and with whom we interact. In order to evolve and thrive, our communities must support everyone's uniqueness. Yet today, our online relationships are dominated by centralized corporate web sites.In this event, you will learn about some peer-to-peer projects based on blockchain and holochain technologies that enable a distributed web with user autonomy built directly into its architecture and protocols. Data is about remembering our lived and shared experiences. Distributing the storage and processing of that data can change how we coordinate and interact. With digital integration under user control, these technolgies liberate our online lives from corporate control over our choices and information.Come and hear about Collaboration, Collective Intelligence and Next Generation Internet technologies that facilitate this to happen!
