A lot of people use collaborative technologies badly, then abandon them. They aren't 'plug-and-play.' The invisible part is the social skill necessary to use them.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Technology has transformed how we live, learn and work, but not everyone has been able to participate in these developments.
If you create open technology that people can use, adapt and play with, it builds capability and they teach themselves.
I'm really puzzled by why people in societies find it difficult to work collaboratively together with other people in societies.
Technology is a bit of a double-edged sword. Used right, it's a wonderful tool, but unfortunately, it makes it easier for a lot of mediocre people to get really crappy ideas out.
I have always believed that technology should do the hard work - discovery, organization, communication - so users can do what makes them happiest: living and loving, not messing with annoying computers! That means making our products work together seamlessly.
With technology, there is so much isolation with people now, that there are very few places where you can connect.
When you need to innovate, you need collaboration.
While technology empowers us to remain connected all the time, it's up to us as people to decide when is it not appropriate to be connected... to opt out when you need to.
I am much less concerned with whatever it is technology may be doing to people that what people are choosing to do to one another through technology. Facebook's reduction of people to predictively modeled profiles and investment banking's convolution of the marketplace into an algorithmic battleground were not the choices of machines.
People get comfortable with technologies.
