Smart Citizens

Smart Citizens•Will take responsibility for the place they live, work and love in•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

Critical Engineering Manifesto1. Critical Engineer considers Engineering to be the most transformative language of our

time, shaping the way we move, communicate and think. It is the work of the Critical Engineer to study and exploit this language, exposing its influence.

2. The Critical Engineer considers any technology depended upon to be both a challenge and a threat. The greater the dependence on a technology the greater the need to study and expose its inner workings, regardless of ownership or legal provision.

3. The Critical Engineer raises awareness that with each technological advance our techno-political literacy is challenged.

4. The Critical Engineer deconstructs and incites suspicion of rich user experiences.

5. The Critical Engineer looks beyond the 'awe of implementation' to determine methods of influence and their specific effects.

6. The Critical Engineer recognizes that each work of engineering engineers its user, proportional to that user's dependency upon it.
