Samenvatting

The introduction of new technologies does not follow a democratic process. Yes, afterwards, when the technology is no longer new, rules and regulations will come but mainly to protect the now large lucrative companies that develop and propagate it (actually colonise us with it). It is argued that change really starts in our inner being. I cannot diminish the fear that the disastrous developments can only be reversed by natural disasters or world wars, by rationalization or by resistance, but only by acceptance. Not by being reactive, but as IDG describes, by being consciously present in our own thoughts, feelings and physicality, from which each of us follows the inner compass with integrity and authenticity. A sense of responsibility for my family, and wider, the world including all those who are not yet, feels at odds with the incessant flow of technological innovation from the tap of economic revenue models.
