DDAO and the technology unemployed in Caribbean – rambling

Leave a reply

<rambling>

Can Distributed Decentralized Automonous Organizations function in the Caribbean ? Yes, it can and will.  It’s just a matter of what scale and what functions the communities will want to implement these systems.  There will be resistance.  But this will only by those who are part of the increasing technology unemployed with signicant financial debt.  My suggestion would be :

  1. Become part of a community that is self-reliant and become free of any financial debt.
  2. Find the thing you love to do, because you will have no other reason to live, as it won’t be neccessary to work.

Ideas for a 21st Caribbean – The future

Leave a reply

The future is already here — it’s just not very evenly distributed.

—–William Gibson, SciFi Author

Today, I saw my mom’s world change.  She had a video chat with her mother in the UK with Skype.  Thanks to this tool, she will now be able to stay in touch with her sisters and mom’s mum’s at a level that would have been unthinkable 10 years ago.  While she and her sisters were FB friends, this type of communication is asynchronous(timeline) and semi-synchronous (realtime chat) at best.  In addition, my Grandma doesn’t have a FB account.  So the idea that that my mom could see and talk with her mother was definitely a major step forward.

Now, many in the First World may say that this is a trivial task and that they have been there, done that.  This is true. However, I think this is just an example of the quote mentioned above.

As more and more members of the Caribbean diaspora start embracing and implementing technology to solve local problems, the future won’t be the luxury of the technology elite, but in addition allow for my mom to strengthen her family ties.
