December 11th, 2012What would be a good solution to this? How do you take away the ability to do dangerous things with a piece of technology without destroying its safe uses?
If we do nothing and let people make whatever they like, what would happen? It’s still illegal to carry a weapon, or use it for bad things. Is that enough?
Industrialism and the death of agency →
December 10th, 2012Agency is the ability to make a decision, and to be responsible for the decision you make.
This short post from Seth Godin explains agency, and how that relates to who has responsibility for stuff that happens.
As more jobs require knowledge workers, we’ll clearly be disseminating agency to those workers. This is a good thing: more people have the power and responsibility to form the world around them. And we trust them to make good decisions.

December 6th, 2012rm -rf
December 5th, 2012Argh! I just rm -rf all my iTunes library. I feel like such a n00b.
The music is backed up (in many places, including iTunes+) and I was in the process of adding Movies and TV shows to a backup, but deleted the wrong copy.
So, me and Caroline have 3 episodes of Battlestar Galactica left to watch on the iPad, and then we’ll have to wait to watch the final season until I’ve managed to recover them.
