Philippe,
" I think the worst things that we can fall in is:
a/ saying "we can't do anything against it"
b/ keep discussing this in small circle without enlarging the circle
of people being involved
c/ not doing things and keeping into the "debate" phase
d/ not dreaming, not having fun!"
could not agree more!
Been reading "the medium is the massage" from mcluhan and fiore:
"Yet there is absolutely no inevitability as long as there is a willingness to contemplate what is happening"
