Taking IT for granted: a long view from the future
1990s
The co-creation of the largest scale most programmable and most useable distributed system, ever
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/3357073.stm
Now is an opportune time to tackle the engineering of emergent order: to identify the engineering principles and languages that can be used to observe, control, organize, and exploit the behavior of programmable multitudes. http://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/projects/amorphous/
Communications of the ACM, May 2000.
Real life is and must be full of all kinds of social constraint – the very processes from which society arises. Computers can help if we use them to create abstract social machines on the Web: processes in which the people do the creative work and the machine does the administration... The stage is set for an evolutionary growth of new social engines. The ability to create new forms of social process would be given to the world at large, and development would be rapid.
Berners-Lee, Weaving the Web, 1999 (pp. 172–175)

The Grid versus Science 2.0
F i r s t
The central goal of the equator IRC is to inves6gate the integra6on of the physical with the digital and the fundamental research needed to realise systems that promote this. In par6cular, we are concerned with uncovering and suppor6ng the variety of possible rela6onships between physical and digital worlds. Our objec6ve in doing this is to improve the quality of everyday life by building and adap6ng technologies for a range of user groups and applica6on domains.

Ludere Humanum Est
Social Machines as���disruptive technology
“Yet Wikipedia and its stated ambi6on to “compile the sum of all human knowledge” are in trouble. The volunteer workforce that built the project’s flagship, the English-‐language Wikipedia—and must defend it against vandalism, hoaxes, and manipula6on—has shrunk by more than a third since 2007 and is s6ll shrinking… The main source of those problems is not mysterious. The loose collec6ve running the site today, es6mated to be 90 percent male, operates a crushing bureaucracy with an oden abrasive atmosphere that deters newcomers who might increase par6cipa6on in Wikipedia and broaden its coverage…” http://www.technologyreview.com/featuredstory/520446/the-decline-of-wikipedia/

Big data elephant versus sense-‐making network?
The challenge is to foster the co-‐cons6tuted socio-‐technical system on the right i.e. a computa6onally-‐enabled sense-‐making network of exper6se, data, models, sodware, visualisa6ons and narra6ves
