Digital Inclusion is an attempt to include all humans into the benefits of an emerging Digital Ecosystem.
Problems
- Most technology innovators follow the Pareto Principle that, among many other consequences, says that 80% of the gain comes from 20% of the effort. In other words innovators are not interested in the 20% of the market that could consume 80% of the effort. This is not an acceptable solution for any credential of any sort that is needed to access the rights an privileges that every living person deserves from their government.[1]
At the turn of the Twentieth Century Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, living as a wealthy recluse in Switzerland, was at work on some of the earliest statistical research into what we now call income inequality. By his count, twenty per cent of the population of Italy owned about eighty per cent of the land. He found a similar ratio in another, more eccentric area: twenty per cent of the pea pods in his garden yielded eighty per cent of the peas. Pareto took to describing these imbalances as a "natural law," known as the 80/20 rule." Pareto wanted a pithy term for his s he concept, but "ruling class" was out-it and had been popularized by his arch-rival, the scholar Gaetano Mosca. Instead, he adopted élite, a French word derived from the Latin eligere, which means "to choose." Pareto intended it to be neither a pejorative nor a compliment; he believed that there were élite scholars, er élite shoe, and élite thieves. Under capitalism, they would tend to at be plutocrats; under socialism, they would be bureaucrats.
Demand Your Rights
Everyone person on this planet has rights as described in UN, federal and local law. These rights should not be limited to those with the power to demand them, but to all. It is incumbent on those with power to ensure that all have their rights as someday those in power will lose it, and who will stand up for their rights when that happens.
It is important for people to not only demand their rights as citizen, but also to ensure that all residents that have rights are not disenfranchised by technology. Clarence Darrow is one lawyer that told citizens to demand their rights.Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag The Stellar Development Foundation is a nonprofit organization based in San Francisco.
