Author of machiavelli.net, proud father of three, interested in shaping network society. Welcome to my blog.A Political Theory of Service
For quite some time, we have been speaking about moving from a product to a service economy. However, it seems that we have underestimated the politico-social implications of this move – think about the recent debate on hacking the iphone or the classical debate on ripping the cd.
The competing worlds can be described as:
Product World
Territory – sovereignty – Ownership
Service World
Time – License – Experience
Now if human life is really finite, then maybe the service model (or a political theory based on service) might be a closer fit. However, that is a pretty radical thought and if our societies are really changing in that direction, we are undergoing a very profound transformation in all aspects of our societal and life worlds.
In Mexico we don’t even have iPhones but still I think we own the device and we should be free to use it however we want. After all it’s a 500 hundred dollars device!
