Any technological revolution brings forth new political demands and new realities. As written in 2013, “Technologies carrying incredible capabilities are rapidly being miniaturised and acquiring the democratic feature of being potentially circulated to everyone for ‘DIY’ ends. Consider “biohacking”, as promoted by Ellen Jorgensen who hopes for a future in which biotechnology is fully democratized for the common user just like personal computing. If such a development was to grow and bring uplifting political and economic effects by being shared in impoverished countries, then the result would certainly be technology-powered liberation. We can adopt a view of all the adversities throughout history as merely part of a pioneering path to a higher state of social and technological civilisation. http://www.clubof.info/p/catalyst.html
