“In reality most innovations are created through networks -- groups of people

working in concert.”

“Necesitamos una manera de pensar que re-conecte lo que esta incoherente y compartimentalizado, que respete la diversidad así como reconozca la unidad,

y que trate de discernir las interdependencias.

Necesitamos de una manera radical de pensamiento (el cual llegue a la raíz del problema), una manera

de pensar multidimensional, y una manera sistemática de pensar”

-Edgar Morin, Anne Brigitte Kern

“It is time of unusual opportunity and optimism as new technologies not only improve the human condition but

also enable the creation and flourishing of new communities and social institutions more capable of

addressing the needs of our society”

“Son tiempos de grandes oportunidades y optimismo puesto que la aplicación de las nuevas tecnologías

emergentes no sólo tienen la capacidad de mejorar la calidad de vida, pero también permiten la creación y el florecimiento de nuevas comunidades y instituciones

sociales mejor preparadas para afrontar las necesidades de nuestra sociedad"
