Asunto: [Geo4All] Digital Feudalism
I came across a recent op-ed by Prof. Mariana Mazzucato on "Digital Feudalism"
at
https://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/platform-economy-digital-feudalism-by-mariana-mazzucato-2019-10?utm_source=Project+Syndicate+Newsletter_campaign=d192f2bc47-sunday_newsletter_6_10_2019_medium=email_term=0_73bad5b7d8-d192f2bc47-105013549_cid=d192f2bc47_eid=a8cee90b20
Prof. Mazzucato is a leading researcher and thinker on Technology and
Innovation, advisor to the European Commission on research and innovation
strategy, and author of two important books on the subject "The Value of
Everything" and "The Entrepreneurial State".
The report on "Mission-oriented Research and Innovation in the European Union"
might be of interest
https://ec.europa.eu/info/sites/info/files/mazzucato_report_2018.pdf
Since the use of cloud platforms for GIS data analysis is having a huge impact
on the GIS community, the subject is of relevance. I would like learn more on
this
1. Are there any examples of Digital Feudalism in GIS?
2. How will Digital Feudalism in GIS affect our future generations?
3. What policies are governments, regulators doing to reduce Digital
Feudalism in GIS?
4. What policies and curriculum are universities, educators adopting to
reduce Digital Feudalism in GIS?
Best wishes,
Suchith
