Social Technology for a Better Future

Social Technology is the art and craft of applying technology and social knowledge to enhance the human condition.

Social Tecnology can help all the people on this planet. All of us need to think very carefully about the following:

• At this point in time we need to integrate all knowledge.

• With information and communication technology we can gather thoughts and opinions of all the people on the earth.

• We can have true democracy; Voting on issues not simply voting for people who are unable to take care of the major issues.

• Ethics: Which values are universal? Honesty? Compassion? Which values/norms and practice vary from culture? We can determine this by using information technology.

• Voluntary Experiments by social groups can help us try new social formations and observe their advantages.
