A SHORT DESCRIPTION<br />
PROJECT IDEAS<br />
Figueira da Foz<br />
The basis for founding Future Balloons has been the rapid<br />
development of information technology and all applications in this<br />
field. The information society was announced years ago - and it<br />
does not really mean personal knowledge. Rather the information<br />
society of nowadays is rather aware of searching techniques in<br />
search engines, wikipedia and social networks. Today information<br />
- in whatever quality shall not be discussed here - is accessible in<br />
nearly zero time from any place on the world where internet is<br />
accessible. In our opinion personally stored information and<br />
knowledge is just necessary up to a critical amount. From this<br />
amount on it may grow with creativity, may be strengthened by<br />
application, may be spread by teaching. The "understanding<br />
society" shall be the next step, taking the personal and society<br />
knowledge as basis. Understanding all processes, interactions,<br />
connections of subjects. Understanding the backgrounds and<br />
opportunities of daily life decisions and events. Understanding, or<br />
at least trying to understand other people. Together with<br />
educated, motivated and responsible friends and partners, Future<br />
Balloons is trying to assist in the society transition from the<br />
information society to the understanding society.<br />
We aim to inovate with ideas about the way organizations of social<br />
economy can contribute to the change towards a more sustainable<br />
economic system, overcoming the challenges of crisis.
