Imagine that you've got the undivided attention of big business, big leaders and big thinkers. Imagine that they're sat on your sofa listening intently to what's on your mind. What would you ask them?
This year, DAVOS let the great unwashed hordes participate. Well, not as equals in terms of Swiss Fondue and rigidly starched bed linens, but even Osama bin Laden could have posed a question to the worlds richest partyers via YouTube' special World Economic Forum channel. Ordinary people got to petition the financial and political royality and say "WTF are you doing?" They also got to make suggestions. Kind of like the YouTube Debates in the primaries. It is an opportunity to throw the Holy Hand-Grenade of Antioch. Although the project is closed for this year, you do have almost a year to come up with new video questions for next year.
This is actually a very important model for solving the world's, country's, state's, city's, neighborhood's problems. Well, maybe "solve" is a strong word -- but what about "slove"? We need to think differently to get out of this soggy box. And I don't think "solve" will get us where we need to go.
How would you use this technology to change your world? I really want some responses here in the furtherist wilderness.
