Rockefeller Foundation och Global Business Network har nyligen publicerat en scenariorapport om teknikens framtida roll för utvecklingen på ett internationellt plan. Frågan man arbetat runt är:
How might technology affect barriers to building resilience and equitable growth in the developing world over the next 15 to 20 years?
De resulterande scenarierna beskrivs så här:
LOCK STEP – A world of tighter top-down government control and more authoritarian eadership, with limited innovation and growing citizen pushback
CLEVER TOGETHER – A world in which highly coordinated and successful strategies emerge for addressing both urgent and entrenched worldwide issues
HACK ATTACK – An economically unstable and shock-prone world in which governments weaken, criminals thrive, and dangerous innovations emerge
SMART SCRAMBLE – An economically depressed world in which individuals and communities develop localized, makeshift solutions to a growing set of problems
