| The thought process of what it means in the term "MOBILE" |
We were prompted with the idea of questioning whether or not we will need politicians in this new hypothetical capital city of Australia. It was a question of the necessity of having a figurehead to lead a nation.
In any form of society, there has to be a leader to lead the people. Corruption aside, leaders have been entrusted to lead the society for the betterment of mankind. This is in my opinion. Using this as a starting point, we agreed that there has to be a purpose to having a "leader" to lead a "herd" from point A to point B. This implies that there needs to be a change or an upgrade of technology and infrastructure as it has been recognized that there is efficiency in technological advancements. However, technology will not be successful on its own without the human "touch" as people tend to be more responsive when conversations, debates or discussions happen in real time with fellow human beings and not through technology like a mobile phone or email. We developed this idea, taking a page off the concept of a "network" system using the idea of being in and out of range.
When one is within close range of communication, it is easy to mobilise people with ideas that are transparent and easily understandable. Ideas, however good they may seem to be to politicians, tend to fail the society when these ideas are lost in translation through the network of technology. The flexibility of using movement to mobilise the society becomes another catalyst that can represent Australia as a nation as the place to be. This brings about the idea of "Virtual" as another strategy to move the nation forward, which will be the next topic in the next entry.
