Ok the sun is out now and yesterday I got the Barcelona effect the feeling that life was good and all was well with the world the feeling that the hardest part of the winter was over and life could go on. There are so many people at the world congress oozing about technology it's hard to know what to think of it all. I mean these are the people who decide what's going on in our digital futures with mobile. I went to a uk trade lunch about digital technlogy and creative industrys it was very interesting to hear what was going on creativity was going to be unleashed by a new age of applications on your mobile devices.
I notice very little analysis about what all this technology is going to mean for society as a whole for individuals in a good and bad way. What humanity is going to do with it all. Any talk about the digital divide, the have and have nots of technology what effect that is going to have on future society. How the fact that some many people involved in the industry are men how that effects it's devopment. What of the gender perspective? So we shall have to see. Anyway I still think Belfast could come the next Barcelona if only they got contemporary in all there development policys.
You can take a look at this www.bcnweek.com if you want to see what exactly is going on...........
