Creating a New World one City at a Time

Posted by Mark Hewitt in Broadband, Cooperatisim, Economy, Trust, US Broadband Coalition on January 23, 2012

I was recently struck by two seemly unrelated topics that were mentioned in Jim Baller’s daily broadband list under the title “America’s Competitiveness” One in the New York Times talks about a technology summit held at the White House where Obama asked Steve Jobs what would it take for America to keep the jobs that produce the iPhone? The second article in The Atlantic Cities talks about empowering Regions to reinvent themselves.

We are approaching a time where more than half of the world’s population lives in Cities; there is no Nation in the World today that can survive without at least one thriving city population. Cities have become the urban economic engine to the regional economy that surrounds it.

A third element “The Internet” has also made its impact on the world and again yet another article in Jim’s list on Read the rest of this entry »

Sustainability

May you live in interesting times… an old Chinese saying that sometimes is called a curse; and as I watch our political leadership mire itself in their own self-interest jockeying for position as to which political party will survive the 2012 election at the expense of not only our economy; at the expense of lives and our future.

This process however is as predictable as knowing that the Sun will rise in the East; Interesting to realize that the only way to succeed at the point of the greatest level of complexity in a society is to not play the game. I hope that most of you have had the opportunity to read some of the work from Physicist Geoffrey West who properly states Read the rest of this entry »

The Cooperative Revolution

Posted by Mark Hewitt in Broadband, Cooperatisim, Earth Day, Economy, Science and Engineering on April 23, 2011

Working Together

Throughout the age of Man we have grown in stages; stressed by our environment man began to understand our world with the mastery of Fire. We lived in tribal communities developing language, transportation, agriculture, until approximately 5,000 years ago when the Great Flood gave way to the stories of Noah and the birth of many of today’s religions and great wars; where in Sun Tzu “The art of War” we are taught to divide then conquer.

Man’s growth over the past few hundred years has led to the Industrial Revolution, the Information Age, and with the birth of the Computer and the Internet we are on the precipice of the Cooperative Revolution.

The Cooperative Age is the period in which we develop our understanding that through self responsibility we are greater working together than apart; scrabbling over the same common resources like energy, water, food, land. Cooperatism is not a new concept Read the rest of this entry »

Introduction to “The Metamorphosis Project”

Posted by Mark Hewitt in Broadband, Cooperatisim, Earth Day, Economy on April 17, 2011

The Metamorphosis Project

To my many Friends, Family, Colleagues, and fellow citizens of the Great Planet Earth. I am honored to be able to present to you the first public draft of the Metamorphosis Blueprint; this document has been a collaboration from some of the greatest thinkers and doers of this century. The Metamorphosis Project evolved from discussions, meetings, and a call to action for the great many of us that recognize the shift in the world today.

I don’t believe that many would argue that the continued pattern of living and working together needs a change to be sustainable into our future generations. This Blueprint is a “Protocol” for living and working together under the same Sun on the same Planet.

I would ask each of you to take a moment to read this short document, it may change your life, it may reinforce your own commitment, it may be Read the rest of this entry »

Leadership and Strategy Toward a Sustainable Future

Posted by Mark Hewitt in Broadband on July 8, 2009

Energy, Broadband, Transportation are each part of a foundation for a strong future. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act “ARRA” has seeded the process of investment into our own economy and our children’s future.

Already I read news and blogs wondering about all of the jobs the stimulus was to protect or create and yet the unemployment rate continues to rise. The answer is simply that the economy is in worse shape than anyone had been able to predict Read the rest of this entry »
