[-empyre-] march discussion - the prototype perspective

[Yann Le Guennec]

Hello,

I agree with Rob's scenario, but i don't wish it. The only way to go out 
of this kind of Augmented Reality Horror Show is to design systems 
allowing users to access models of the systems. That's why Open Source 
approach is important, essential, should it be in 'read only' mode.


"I think that the question that we must face at this moment of our 
history is about our desires and about whether we want or not to be 
responsible of our desires. "
