Any community that includes people who do not have all of the resources that are common to the people that develop the technology.

Context

  • Vulnerability can be either episodic or chronic. The episodic case is described on the wiki page Emergency Identifier. This page is about chronic vulnerability.
  • Geeks create code for their buddies and others in their own lives. Academics create Artificial Intelligences based on their data bases and the undergraduate students in their universities. This is never likely to change so some means of normalizing the identity Ecosystem is required for inclusion of all participates in the evolution of the ecosystem.
  • Identity in Western Communities is created by many little things: artistic expression, ethnic traditions, occupation, age, leisure activities, home, community and many others. In some other cultures identity is forced on people from above.

Problems
