Good question Tom.

 

I see the need for very broad frameworks of management at a global level (these issues are ultimately global ones or at least their solutions can only be global … and of course they have to do with mechanisms and processes of “governance… 

 

If we can get it right for Internet governance maybe we can find ways forward for these even more formidable challenges.

Mike,

Long ago I thought this problem could be solved by reallocating resources: The availability of farm machinery has created more food than we know what to do with; and half of New York seems to be filled with storage bins filled with the abundance of manufactured goods. And I thought that people be happy to retire at 30. 

But assuming an abundance of energy and no environmental limitations, would I like a 50 year retirement? These days I seem to live for my work. If some machine takes it away, I'd be left with a diminished life. 

How important is work to most peoples lives? 

Yes, I agree with the video, and the clock seems to be ticking.

By posting on the governance list are you suggesting that Internet governance and "technology management" be combined?
