Mozilla Manifesto(excerpt)

Program or be programmed

(a book by Douglas Rushkoff)

jeudi 14 juin 12

When humans beings acquired language, we learned not just to listen but how to speak. When we gained literacy, we learned not how to read but how to write. And as we move into increasingly digital reality, we must learn not just how to use programs but how to make them.

jeudi 14 juin 12

In the emerging, highly programmed landscape ahead, you will either create the software or you will be the software. It’s really that simple: program, or be programmed. Choose the former, and you gain access to the control panel of civilization. Choose the latter, and it could be the last real choice you get to make.

In a PC world- You have to pick a platform (Windows, Mac

OS, GNU/Linux)

- You create or buy or download software

- You use software

- Unhappy?

- Use some other software

- Patch it (if it’s Open Source / Free Software)

jeudi 14 juin 12

In a Web world

- Create/buy/install the software you want

- Use it in any browser, any device, from everywhere

- No need to ask permission from anyone for writing, deploying and using software!

jeudi 14 juin 12

In a Smartphone world- Pick a device (that comes with an OS and an

AppStore)

- Buy (or not) software that was allowed to be featured in the AppStore. (Significant censorship issues there)

- Want to patch? You’re out of luck. (Generativity issue there).

- Switching platform? Out of luck too. (Vendor lock-in)

jeudi 14 juin 12

2012 is the year when the smartphones will

outsell PCs

jeudi 14 juin 12

We’re entering a world where:- The end-users have less control than with PCs

and the Web

- Tinkering / hacking / programming / creating is discouraged

- Vendor lock-in is more important

- Censorship is more powerful

Is this the world we want to live in?
