‘Wikicong’ cyberactivists launch new website displaying Wikileaks information on Thailand

Deadline Extended till July 1st. Help saving the first world from itself!  You need to live a developing nation to participate and there is 1000 lollars price. You can support this project at Kickstarter too if you will

My friend Carolina invited me to be jury at the competition Design for the first World. The main goal is to offer solutions designed from a “developing world” perspective to the developed world:

What does it mean to be a devel­op­ing coun­try? Among other things it means that the future is to become devel­oped. We are on our way toward devel­op­ment, and we assume that’s a great thing, but let’s stop to con­sider for a minute whether devel­oped coun­tries are some­thing we want to turn into. Are peo­ple in devel­oped coun­tries hap­pier or health­ier? Do they live a bet­ter life? Do they have a bet­ter under­stand­ing of nature and live in a bet­ter equi­lib­rium with the envi­ron­ment? Do they live in peace?

We have been focus­ing our energy and resources on try­ing to solve our Devel­op­ing World prob­lems to become more like the First World. But per­haps it is time that we, the so called Third World minds, focused our energy and cre­ativ­ity on solv­ing some of the First World prob­lems. We will have a brighter future to look for­ward to, and per­haps this can help us rethink and approach our cur­rent prob­lems from a dif­fer­ent perspective.

Congrats!  (I don’t really search for ** videos, but youtube’s Misheard Lyrics is internet gold).
