These days, when our slow recovery from recession seems like a full-employment program for pessimistic pundits, it’s great to have a new book from Chris Anderson, an indefatigable cheerleader for the unlimited potential of the digital economy. Anderson, the departing editor in chief of Wired magazine, has already written two important books exploring the impact of the Web on commerce. In “The Long Tail,” he argued that companies like Amazon that faced distribution challenges arising from having large quantities of the same kind of product would thrive by “selling less of more.” Corporations didn’t have to chase blockbusters if they had a mass of small sales. In “Free: The Future of a Radical Price,” he argued that giving stuff away to attract a multitude of users might be the best way eventually to make money from loyal customers. Anderson has also helped found a Web site, Geekdad, and an aerial roboticscompany. From his vantage point, in the future more and more people can get involved in making things they really enjoy and can connect with others who share their passions and their products. These connections, he claims, are creating a new Industrial Revolution.

In a 2010 Wired article entitled “In the Next Industrial Revolution, Atoms Are the New Bits,” Anderson described how the massive changes in our relations with information have altered how we relate to things. Now that the power of information-sharing has been unleashed through technology and social networks, makers are able to collaborate on design and production in ways that facilitate the connection of producers to markets. By sharing information “bits” in a creative commons, entrepreneurs are making new things (reshaping “atoms”) more cheaply and quickly. The new manufacturing is a powerful economic force not because any one business becomes gigantic, but because technology makes it possible for tens of thousands of businesses to find their customers, to form their communities.

Anderson begins his new book, “Makers,” with the story of his grandfather Fred Hauser, who invented a sprinkler system. He licensed his invention to a company that turned ideas into things that could be built and sold. Although Hauser loved translating ideas into things, he needed a company with resources to make enough of his sprinklers to turn a profit. Inventing and making were separate. With the advent of the personal computer and of sophisticated but user-friendly design tools, that separation has become increasingly irrelevant. As a child, Anderson loved making things with his grandfather, and he still loves creating new stuff and getting it into the marketplace. “Makers” describes how today technology has liberated the inventor from a dependence on the big manufacturer. “The beauty of the Web is that it democratized the tools both of invention andproduction,” Anderson writes. “We are all designers now. It’s time to get good at it.”

Os Estatutos do Homem

(Ato Institucional Permanente)

Artigo I

Fica decretado que agora vale a verdade.

agora vale a vida,

e de mãos dadas,

marcharemos todos pela vida verdadeira.

Artigo II

Fica decretado que todos os dias da semana,

inclusive as terças-feiras mais cinzentas,

têm direito a converter-se em manhãs de domingo.

Artigo III

Fica decretado que, a partir deste instante,

haverá girassóis em todas as janelas,

que os girassóis terão direito

a abrir-se dentro da sombra;

e que as janelas devem permanecer, o dia inteiro,

abertas para o verde onde cresce a esperança.

Artigo IV

Fica decretado que o homem

não precisará nunca mais

duvidar do homem.

Que o homem confiará no homem

como a palmeira confia no vento,

como o vento confia no ar,

como o ar confia no campo azul do céu.

Parágrafo único:

O homem, confiará no homem

como um menino confia em outro menino.

Artigo V

Fica decretado que os homens

estão livres do jugo da mentira.

Nunca mais será preciso usar

a couraça do silêncio

nem a armadura de palavras.

O homem se sentará à mesa

com seu olhar limpo

porque a verdade passará a ser servida

antes da sobremesa.

Artigo VI

Fica estabelecida, durante dez séculos,

a prática sonhada pelo profeta Isaías,

e o lobo e o cordeiro pastarão juntos

e a comida de ambos terá o mesmo gosto de aurora.

Artigo VII

Por decreto irrevogável fica estabelecido

o reinado permanente da justiça e da claridade,

e a alegria será uma bandeira generosa

para sempre desfraldada na alma do povo.

Artigo VIII

Fica decretado que a maior dor

sempre foi e será sempre

não poder dar-se amor a quem se ama

e saber que é a água

que dá à planta o milagre da flor.

Artigo IX

Fica permitido que o pão de cada dia

tenha no homem o sinal de seu suor.

Mas que sobretudo tenha

sempre o quente sabor da ternura.

Artigo X

Fica permitido a qualquer pessoa,

qualquer hora da vida,

uso do traje branco.

Artigo XI

Fica decretado, por definição,

que o homem é um animal que ama

e que por isso é belo,

muito mais belo que a estrela da manhã.

Artigo XII

Decreta-se que nada será obrigado

nem proibido,

tudo será permitido,

inclusive brincar com os rinocerontes

e caminhar pelas tardes

com uma imensa begônia na lapela.

Parágrafo único:

Só uma coisa fica proibida:

amar sem amor.

Artigo XIII

Fica decretado que o dinheiro

não poderá nunca mais comprar

o sol das manhãs vindouras.

Expulso do grande baú do medo,

o dinheiro se transformará em uma espada fraternal

para defender o direito de cantar

e a festa do dia que chegou.

Artigo Final

Fica proibido o uso da palavra liberdade,

a qual será suprimida dos dicionários

e do pântano enganoso das bocas.

A partir deste instante

a liberdade será algo vivo e transparente

como um fogo ou um rio,

e a sua morada será sempre

o coração do homem.

(Thiago de Mello. Os estatutos do homem. São Paulo, Vergara & Riba, 2001.)

TEXT 2

The first step in establishing a cyber ethical culture is to ask the really tough questions, the answer to which may be politically incorrect. HR (Human resources), legal, security and top management need to work together to set the tone they wish to flow through gaming; other times off-site meetings will work.

The second step is to include cyber ethical components in corporate security awareness campaigns to keep employees clued in.

The last but most important step is to be ready to make changes rapidly when cyber ethics becomes a component of information security efforts. We cannot predict how they will change tomorrow or next year – but we need to be prepared.
