Cyber Civilization Research Center (CCRC)

• Return to Project List

Summary

Networked intelligence, unbound by physical limits, connected by and aggregated on the ever powerful cloud, urges humanity to reconsider foundational concepts that have defined civilizations for centuries. It goes far beyond being just a useful tool capable of affecting history, governance, labor, culture and even the very nature of humanity. In order to contend with these dramatic changes and support humanity in its next evolutionary step, it is imperative that we rethink existing governance, economic, societal, and technological planning.
