This is a story about us
being persuaded to spend money we don’t have,
on things we don’t need,
to create impressions that won’t last,
on people we don’t care about. (T. Jackson 2010)

36. UNPLUGGING 2 noEons
① Being digitally connected/plugged in is no
guarantee of being smart (Evans 2002: 34)
② Technology is never neutral, and it has the
potenEal and capacity to be used socially
and poliEcally for quite different purpose
(Williams 1983: 128)

38. Smart City =
ecosystem of ciEzens > system of systems
Above all we need smart mayors and smart
ciEzens, not smart ciBes. (B. Barber)
