What if we're on the 'wrong' side of the digital divide?

Best answer from Katia Meggiorin:
Nice question Jori!
The concept of Digital divide is indeed oversimplified when considered as the mere access/lack-of-access to internet. As pointed out by the two articles you attached, value of internet does not lie on the ability to access the net but on the use made of this opportunity.The time spent on…

I suppose all of you (or most of you) have whatsapp on your smartphones, so i was wondering if you consider the ability to see whether someone has read your message and/or opened the application (Last seen: today at 14.30), as well as the other way around that someone can see whether you read someone's message or opened the application, as an invasion of your privacy? I know that some of my friends switch off this feature because they didn't want other people to see whether the read the message or not.. What do you think about this?

Best answer from Jori Verdijk:
I think most people switch the function off because it takes away the opportunity to ignore a message without the sender knowing. So while in a way this is a problem of privacy for the receiver, because once he/she read it the sender will know, it is also a problem…

A cyborg, short for "cybernetic organism", is a being with both organic and cybernetic parts. Most common example might be the prosthetic leg, but you might also think of…

Patents, good or bad for innovation?

Best answer from Heidi Reidel Sørensen:
I believe it is Lawrence Lessig, who writes of the absurd fact that by the time the copyright on computer programs expire, there will be no computers to run them. Some companies may chose not to develop further on a program, creating 'orphan programs' which other companies might have improved…

Are there any companies that use co-creation, or crowdsourcing, to determine the future of the company?

Best answer from Zé Du:
I'm not sure if this  what you mean by co-creation, but there are many companies that engage with customers in closed  forum discussion groups in order to gather specific feedback, test new concepts, create "personas" for the Marketing Dept, etc. One example is ;

The first type of knowledge (acquiring ideas) can be gained from open…

Who was a better visionair, Bill Gates with products for the biggest market, or Steve Jobs with the most innovative products?

Best answer from gschoots:
This is not a question that has a clear answer, both have been very succesful and could be called a visionary on that fact alone. Apart from that, what might look like one person is usually the front to entire teams thinking about products and services. For instance Steve Jobs…
