Reflections are only that, reflections, nothing more nothing less. Often these reflections are related to books I read, but occasionally also other things. These are often written very late, very fast,  using notes from my mobile phone, so the grammar and spelling is horrible.

From Fossil to Future in Barcelona

/

At Technology@Work in Barcelona we took the opportunity to release the second of our think-papers this year about the role of ICT and climate change. From Fossil to Future with innovative ICT solutions

The main purpose is to move the discussion from incremental reduction within current sectors to a discussion about transformative changes with the help of ICT. Maybe there is hope that the message will spread. In FT and Wired there are however no signs, as far as I have seen, that this perspective is getting any attention.
