Over at Nossa! Brazilian Music & Culture, I saw a video on reality, media and the future which I think would be interesting to post here too.
I did a little digging and found out it comes from CasaLeggio in Italy, which reports on the state of digital economy while developing strategies for businesses wishing to use the digital media to their advantage.
They certainly paint interesting portraits of the future in their videos but I definitely see many issues with their ultimate vision too. It seems they wish or at least predict that we’ll live in a world of one government where augmented reality rules. In one video, called ‘Gaia: the future of Politics’, they say the people hold the power to change the world while giving examples which ask for ‘more of the same’, leading to ideas that require one to stay within Plato’s Cave and the Hegelian dialectic. They fail to realize revolutions are carefully guided.
My 2 cents.
