Changes

After conducting a series of workshops to gather 1000 ideas for a sustainable internet, we turned identified some of the most more ambitious suggestions into and redrafted them as high-level future scenarios. These scenarios were drafted picked to inspire fresh thinking around what is possible and desirable. While they began from a "tech sector" perspective, we wanted quickly realised that positive visions require us to expand the scope to socio-political and economic concerns as well.

Through discussion and reflection, we hope these scenarios may expose where there is consensus as well as disagreement among participants , while also narrowing down the slate of scenarios to those that generate the most ideas, potential shared goals and actions. It’s a thought experiment and then later help refine we’re going bold (crazy?) on purpose. Help us imagine a set of goals different world, so we can decide which one we would actually want to work towards.  In a next step, we aim to develop these headlines into stories in an effort to identify opportunities, shortfalls, and requirements.
