Thursday July 26, 2007 Dave's Bit Bucket
Dave Walker's jottings - mostly pertaining to security
Thursday July 26, 2007 If you're not yet familiar with http://www.blindside.org.uk/, it's a blog / wiki site on which some interesting folk are recording some very forward thinking. The remit of Blindside is basically "take UK society in general, add technology (taking emerging technologies into consideration), and figure out what issues Government will face as a result, in 5 years' time or so".
Blindside is sponsored by the CSIA, and the Blindside folk are required to report their findings to CSIA on a regular basis. While the Blindside folk have a very large amount of experience, they acknowledge that they can't be experts in everything - so, particularly for the Wiki items, they encourage experts in the relevant fields to contribute to, and correct errors in, their records.
So, the bottom line is: if you care about UK Government's approach to technology, particularly technologies you are well-versed in, go to Blindside, read what's there, be intellectually stimulated and contribute your own wisdom, when you're not busy with your day job.
Thank you.
