Lab Day 4: Reboot

Under the guidance of Arie van Baarle we redefined our ideas in a way that is open enough for all our experts to define their own personal interest and perspective:

Narrowing it down, all of our various angles were clearly about this dilemma:

How can we capture, disclose and use wisdom, experience and knowledge in order to give people social value and autonomy, staying connected to society. All of this in a ubiquitous, challenging and engaging way. 

If we regard Omnipresent Social Technology as a given, how will we (the generation that is now around 25 years old) see ways of letting this work for us, in a way that there is no more artificial difference between 65- and 65+ years old.

Some interesting issues within this research are:

- Should we make things easier for ourselves, as we are getting older? Or should we not instead make things harder, with a fair amount of problems to solve, pushing the limit of our abilities, engaging?

- What can we learn from other systems that go beyond mere pension plans? What do free-lancers use as a way to keep working beyond the age of 65? How do elderly in Okinawa remain valuable within their social ecosystem? Does Linkedin make a distinction in network value after the age of 65?

Today we are doing solo work on possible cases that address this open question.
