Provide skills, not just finished technologies.
The current revolution in design for developing countries is the notion
of co-creation, of teaching the skills necessary to create the solution,
rather than simply providing the solution. By involving the community
throughout the design process, you can help equip people to innovate
and contribute to the evolution of the product. Furthermore, they
acquire the skills needed to create solutions to a much wider variety
of problems. They are empowered.
In a world where everything is about speed and an understanding in a sphere of work, especially IT and business, we end up with very few people who have the skills to do the smaller, sometimes more important jobs. Letting a community be involved and connected in a project allows for many ideas from different people, which may not have come up when being discussed by a group of top minds. The only thing that may be needed is someone to manage and control these ideas. It also encourages people to form groups and think up ways to improve the comunity and how they work. This leads to a more sustainable and improved community and thus leads them from many of the problems that they may be facing.
A smaller scale example that shows that the skills are more important than the finished product is music. Many of the famous composers died before they finished some of their compositions. From this, their students used the skills they had been given by these great minds to finish something that isn't even theirs. Imagine if the top minds actually worried about those things that don't fall under their jurisdiction and assist someone else? The world would become a more friendly place with fewer problems.
Technology doesn't need to develop faster. We need to allow for the undeveloped to catch up and be on the same page. The more technology we design, the more energy we may use up. Rather than focussing on on unimportant things (like the Hadron collider, which has a budget of $9bn and is wasting the scientific brains of people who can actually do something better) and got those brilliant people to focus their attention on energy production and sustainability in this regard, imagine the changes we could have.

In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out.

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
public servants
The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
