"The WEF [World Economic Forum] said ICT [information and communications technologies] was 'a key enabler of a more economically, environmentally and socially sustainable world.'"
Triple play! "The WEF report focuses on the power of ICT to transform society in the next decade through modernisation and innovation." And I believe another acronym, ICA, will have a good-sized role in there somewhere. Maybe not economically as much as socially though. I still fear that ICA actually helps in decreasing the number of jobs, which somehow must be considered. But socially it will be beneficial.
Internet Collective Action is people organizing in a nonhierarchical manner to accomplish a particular goal. The reward is in the doing, and how much or how little anyone participates is completely voluntary, depending on their abilities and commitment to the goal. By this process amazing things can be accomplished. ICA will grow so long as the Internet is free. http://www.lisamcpherson.org/pc.htm is an example of ICA.
