Smart Citizens

• Will take responsibility for the place they live, work and love;• Value access over ownership, contribution over power;• Will ask forgiveness, not permission;• Know where they can get the tools, knowledge and support;• Value empathy, dialogue and trust;• Appropriate technology, rather than accept it as is;• Will help the people that struggle with smart stuff;• Ask questions, before they come up with answers;• Take part in design efforts to come up with better solutions;• Work agile, prototype early, test quickly, start all over;• Will not stop in the face of huge barriers;• Continuously share their knowledge and their learning.
