Comments on: The Technology of Community http://www.d4v3.net/blog/2006/10/25/the-technology-of-community/ Interaction design, service design, and a little bit of green Sat, 31 Jul 2010 21:31:33 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.7 by: Xophist http://www.d4v3.net/blog/2006/10/25/the-technology-of-community/#comment-32 Thu, 26 Oct 2006 03:14:18 +0000 http://www.d4v3.net/blog/2006/10/25/the-technology-of-community/#comment-32 This may sound funny but I just created my blog today (don't hang up on me yet) and I'm trying to get my thoughts written out about sustainable housing (it's the closest term to describe what I'm looking for, but not exactly what I have in mind) Lack of community is huge, not just because we can now congregate with all kinds of other people who share our views, but also because we don't have to socialize with people who don't. It is time for action. Things have to be done. It might sound funny, I've never gone and protested anything. Mostly because whenever I looked at the protesters I saw lives that didn't reflect their message. How can someone call for peace when they are not at peace with themselves? How can someone cry out about animal abuse when they beat up, and verbally abuse the people around them? I think government acknowledgement is only part of the answer, just as personal choice is part of the answer. I apologize for the scattered thoughts. I have a few years worth of thoughts all racing to get typed and I'm trying not to do it here on your blog!
