A crash course in changing the world.

We need to share more stories and lessons from past disasters. After Hurricane Katrina, many people along the Gulf Coast had no phone/internet service as many towers had been destroyed or the power was knocked out. In Louisiana, many Parish (county/district) offices had satellite phones; however, they did not have service because economic decisions had been made to cancel monthly service charges to spend those funds elsewhere. (Emergency activation of satellite phones in disaster areas would…

In my opinion, the most probable disaster to occur in Western Europe is going to be a pandemy. With more and more people moving to the cities, the outbreak of diseases is eased. Germs and viruses will be easily transmitted from one person to the other and because of the areal density entire cities will soon be contaminated.
Devices such as Ushahidi might help to find cures for diseases, by people posting their symptoms or possible medicinal advice.

I live in Brunswick. It is quite difficult for me to face a possible local crisis in the future. But one potential crisis could be modification of foodstuff. As we saw in early summer 2011 the EHEC bacteria (H5N1 virus) was a major threat to the public health in Germany. At that time members of the opposition heavily criticized the government's ineffective response to the emergence of a…

In my imagination, Nuremberg will be close to be a carbon-neutral city in 2020. I designed a map in which I integrated several changes which Nuremberg could reached in 2020 to be more sustainable for the future. It's not perfect yet. I could spend days and weeks with thinking of more and more features of the future design of Nuremberg. But you can already check my map out on the following link:…

I live in Nuremberg, Bavaria. Which crisis could we face in the future? We don't live in an earthquake-prone area and there is no foot-shortage foreseeable. We seem to live in a quite save area where a political crisis unlikely in the near future. So which crisis could happen here? Maybe a terrorist attack? Nuremberg is a very attractive city for tourists. Especially in the winter months there are thousands of tourists visiting the city and the famous "Christkindles Markt". This might be a…

A possible crisis that might come up at Brunswick or better in Germany and Europe is a massive financial crisis where every bank gets bankrup. That would mean that no one is able to trade or pick up money. That results in the fact that money gets worthless and a material trading would start again. So basically we are back in the stone age. So lets asume now that our mobile phones still have service because the phone companies have an agreement with the government to guarantee phone reception…
