Societal Costs (Alliot and Ly)

“The concept of ‘externalities’, favoured by some economists, has had a growing influence on decision-makers and on the media. Although controversial, it has enabled an increasing proportion of the population to become aware of the hidden costs of something (what is its ‘real’ cost?) as well as its social cost (what is the cost to society?)”

Movilización 2.0. Desafío para la acción colectiva… (L. Daudén)

“… las redes sociales digitales asumieron un papel más unificador que articulador, permitiendo la coordinación de movimientos en forma rápida alcanzando a un mayor número de personas, pero fallando en la creación de movimientos más sustentables.” (L. Daudén)

For Free Information and Open Internet (Daudén, Campelo, Ritimo)

“… it’s important to remember that technology alone will not lead to [positive] social change. This will only happen if technology is appropriated by each and every one of us and anchored in local knowledge and collective participation. It requires people to make a call on how and why this or that technology should be used and adapt it to the political and socio-economic context in which they live.” (E. Campelo)
