I. Upon the Net.

Imaging every person, every thingalready connected to the Net

Results:

A new digital infrastructure connecting old economic ,social , politicalstructures

Possible future scenarios1. Old structures reversing the new

infrastructure: - The trustification of the Net. (Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple….-Government control of the Net (NSA, China,…)

2. New structures completing the new infrastructure: Birth to new cooperative and innovative structures!!: Labs for everybody and everywhere

II. The LabAs we may live in 2050.

“The Lab” hypothesis

Is it possible the opening of the innovation systems to everyone,

everywhere?

Is it possible to create a inter-universal innovation system, open

and coopertive like Internet? 8

“The Lab”: the new meme.

III. Towards Universal Innovation Systems.

Europe and the experience ofuniversal systems.

Comparing with Innovation Systems

“The triple helix”Universities, company labs, Federal labs. ….An elite and minority system.

The Lab motto.

ISOC (1991). “Internet for everyone”

The Lab (2013) “Innovation is for everyone”

First generation LLs

Cities and regions as laboratories

Next Generation LLs

“NYC as laboratory”, Bloomberg.October 2013

Barcelona as citizens’s lab.

Europe as a living lab?

How to implement it?

III. Learning to innovate

Connecting the world of innovation and learning

Current systemsof learning and innovation

Learning systems

First , you all learn Then, some of you innovate

Longlife learning-to-innovate process

The new skills beyond OECD PISA

“The fundamental basis of the system is fatally flawed”, says Linda Darling-Hammond, a professor of education at Stanford and founding director of the National Commission on Teaching and America’s Future. “In 1970 the top three skills required by the Fortune 500 were the three Rs: reading, writing, and arithmetic. In 1999 the top three skills in demand were teamwork, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills. We need schools that are developing these skills.” How a Radical New Teaching Method Could Unleash a Generation of Geniuses, )http://www.wired.com/business/2013/10/free-thinkers/

The third general purpose mental tool”

““ The most valuable acquisitions in a scientific or technical

education are the general-purpose mental tools which remain serviceable for a lifetime. I rate natural language and mathematics as the most important of these tools, and computer science as a third”.

WHAT TO DO TILL THE COMPUTER SCIENTIST COMES* 1968

GEORGE E. FORSYTHE, Computer Science Department, Stanford University

The Quintivium: The language of innovation

a) Design ThinkingH. Simon, “The Sciences of Artificial” (1969).

CMU as design univ. (Serra 1990)

b) Computational Thinking. Jeannette Wing (CMU), (Scratch, MIT).

c) Social Innovation. (NESTA, UK).

e) Innovation as new citizen’s ethics of liberty and responsability. (Citilab)

Who are the new innovators/teachers?

The moment of a new kind of scientists of artificial:

-Technoanthropologists

-Technoeconomists

-Technopedagogians.

Like mathematicians and physicists became the engineers of “computer technology”, and the biologists became the engineers of biotechnology, now social scientists will become the engineers of new social, educational, economic structures…,

New Methodologies for learning to innovate

User-driven design

Los pedagogos de los procesos de innovación

Los living labs necesitamos cientificos socialesque se hagan diseñadores:

-Innovacion social……Tecnoantropologos-Innovacion educativa…Tecnopedagogos-Innovacion económica…Tecnoempresarios

Como hace décadas hicieron los matemáticos Y físicos que se hicieron diseñadores de losOrdenadores y los lenguajes de programación
