By chance (conferences, public announces from authorities) and by design (I have been working or studying these two subjects for some time), over the last two weeks I published articles on two main issues: managing of resources, and security.
Conveniently, this week-end comes half-way through the month, and today and tomorrow I would like to share few forward-looking thoughts based on experience and observation.
Since at least 1970s, we all became used to seamless and instantaneous access to financial resources worldwide.
Over the last few decades, this extended also to the assembly line and the supply chain.
The missing link is still the people.
We are burdened by increasingly Byzantine rules on movement and resettlement, whose complexity is creating an industry in its own.
In this article, some simple considerations from observing rules and regulations around, trying to balance common sense and security.

AGB2009: technological disintermediation
BACKGROUND
Technology and tecnological innovation are not anymore what they used to be.
ABSTRACT
Most of the publications on the “new” or “soft” economy talk only about the positive side-effects of this “crowdsourcing” of innovation, but..
In the past, user-generated innovations required skills, or money, or both, e.g. in “tuning” the engine of you car.
BIBLIOGRAPHY
For this article, not really a bibliography, but a “mini-library”.
We are heading toward interesting times but, as usual, time is the main constraint.
It is a small world- and, moving online, borders become even more irrelevant.
There are some calls to stifle innovation by creating artificial online borders- but it is akin to re-instating border controls within Schengen: a temporary, cumbersome, and annoying palliative.
Mickey Mouse rights :)

It is a fine balance between control and visibility.
