UX, HF, MaMa and People need far better ...?

Vision: Information [affect] induces implicit cultural change.
  View: Technology [effect] enables explicit cultural change.
   IOW: Technology ain’t Information. Technology exist because of Information.

I consider information a raw material for an ISE & NetNeutral future.

Information (Data/Content) products are the cargo transported on the Infrastructure Technology (IT) [AKA: Telecommunications Infrastructure]. Processes that produce information products [Data/Content/…] use information as a raw material. Data products are for machines, automation, simulations … science, engineering, industrial … consumption. Content products stories, reports, movies, music … are for human consumption (learning, entertainment …). Data and Content are information products created for and applied to needs/requirements. Are there other basic information products, IDNK? Information obtained by human or electronic sensors are raw until processed (collect, aggregate, analyze …) by automation or human core functions. So, IMO, there is no information symbiosis/processes. Technology symbiosis like industrial processes require information to be functional for performing requirements; Hence, data or content are basic information products transported as cargo on IT (as defined above).

UX/HF/MaMa… are data-derivative processes needed for designing digital/computer and personal interactivity. UserX (a person) is not the UX/HF/MaMa… or information. UserX intransigence (I think) is not due to information, processes, or technology. UserX intransigence (I suspect) is due to frustration with no durable or substantial improvement in work experience a/o environment. The UX/HF/MaMa… provides a product designed (environment, system, hardware, software …) experience, which is not a SME/Work environment experience. During my +30y work experience the environment has always been a Megalithic Human Inference Engine (MHIE) that morphs I/O by apparent caprice inducing errors, which requires a redo-recheck-loop. IMO: UserX intransigence is due to relearning the same SME/work experience for new IT products that result in the same SME/work environment and experience. Science Academia and industry Technology at present levels of capabilities can do far more than industry-only has provided to US.
Collapse of the MHIE technology will not be a crash, IT as defined today (IMO) can cause a catastrophic failure for US (not just a system crash). Our focus on IT as defined today for security (information assurance) has been IMO a failure, because (IMO) the focus should be on “Information Governance” for security of the information.

ISO, W3C, OASIS, IEEE …, Open…Agile concepts … standards/protocols/specifications compliance does solve information interoperability and infrastructure integration requirements. Lack of forced compliance across hardware, software, services, and industry providers causes ISE … extensible lifecycle sustainment and innovation havoc for US (IMO).

Industry (the creators) frequently provides what is required with hooks, warts, and nightmares for the sustainment lifecycle follow-ons. We get what we pay for, which IMO is always less than we need for an innovative strategic lifecycle.

‘With all the varieties of program languages, service busses, signals, and the disparate user base (from novice to super experts, and everything in between...). The mysterious middle-ware provided by the Captains of Industry (CoI) in their interest as the Centers of Influence. IT is bound to get threating-cloudy and war-foggy.’ ISO, W3C … standards compliance resolves even these problems at the point of I/O for data/content information products and often at the point of committed-action.

Cyber-warfare two basic components Infrastructure Security and Information Governance. I suspect that solid Information Governance could sometimes prevent infrastructure breaches. Cyber-warfare is an infrastructure attack, but an information spill, is just bad information governance. Cyber-attacks on industry and government IMO have little noticeable impact on the public. Cyber-attacks IMO do cause politicians and industry to write unenforceable cyber-laws that create criminals and do little to stop cyber-crime/attacks. Government and industry cyber-sloth (easy not better) solutions do cause internet-access and web-services disruptions.

POTUS SOTU stand on Net-Neutrality is of interest. Net-Neutrality protects US from TelCo & CableCo Internet Access Provider (IAP) domination of UserX and Internet Services Providers (ISP) like libraries, news, entertainment, banks …. IAPs charge monthly/yearly internet data-rate fees, which can increase on a whim. ISPs and UserX pay their agreed upon data-rate utility fees for homes and businesses. When ISP or UserX want a higher data-rate (more upload/download bandwidth) they will pay higher fees. The IAPs (IMO) just want to run another swindle on US. Most of the POTUS SOTU stands on social and economic topics, I already knew.

Future/History: The transition process a/o nexus may happen in many possible ways.

The transition process a/o nexus may happen in many possible ways. The episodic human culture transition events, in history, have been heroically and tragically poignant or surrealistically unremarkable surprises. IOW: Sometimes the most documented person/event is insignificant to what happened next. Example: Hitler and Napoleon are well-documented megalomaniacs, but both are very inconsequential to human culture advancements beyond their plus/minus 100 years. Example: Gutenberg’s Printing Press or Aristotle’s Alchemy prime-mater and elements/states. Gutenberg delivered significant cultural advancements well in to this digital publishing age (Plus 600 years). Aristotle (and others in India-Math, China-black powder …) started the theoretical math, physics…astronomy and applied engineering…chemistry sciences (Aristotle Plus 2400 years). Primary/Public schools globally and historically teach local cultural-political history [Who smote whom, in the last war or political …?]. Rome: Gloria Fluxa – Today: Glory is fleeting is the summary for the above examples [http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Sallust].

The transition process from the present labor-intensive production and feudal economy variants [AKA: Capitalism, Communism …] will be frequently disruptive (change), but not necessarily destructive (war). Humans are very adaptable to change (adjust/comply), but intransigent when threatened (flight/fight). Aristotle and Gutenberg, with shared reason, helped us adjust and comply with actualities in human history. Alexander and Stalin, by shared threat, dictated authoring of history/documents and murdered many people. I sometimes think we are taught from a very young age that blood-lust is the only way to fame and fortune (Why?).

Okay, having stated (above) the looming reality. How do we (globally) transition from the present-threat to the post-scarcity culture and economy? Very carefully with meticulous planning, that requires species-preservation altruistic governance by pluralist-democracy [not republic-democracy]. If we had time, I would say colonize the Moon and Mars before forming a pluralist-democracy, but some research suggest that we may be very short on time, due to climate and natural resources (water, iron …).

Rather than continuing this run-on SciFic alternate-culture …. Let me know, if you/others want me to continue. I am getting old … it would take me many breaks and days to get to the probable two beginnings/endings.

I hope and expect the best, but I never ignore any probable. Best of all, if it ain't the best, I'll be dead of old age before the worst happens (I hate seeing folks suffer!).
