Slowly but surely in our society we are shifting from values that we express in money to abundance. For example, consider Wikipedia or some co-working spaces. But it is also possible with self-driving cars for transport and 3D printers for building homes. We take you on a journey of abundance by technology.

5. Normal / Post-normal era
Centralized Decentralized
Scarcity Abundance
Global mass production Local 3D printing, third industrial revolution
Push -> From above Pull -> Attraction

Profit, shareholder value Passion, stakeholder value
Egosystems (Optimize, maximize) Build an ecosystem
Venture capital Social capital

6. What technologies are
present in a smartphone
where we previously needed
different devices?

8. What do we no longer pay
money for today thanks to
technological developments?

10. Technology is growing
exponentially.
Which emerging
technologies will turn our
economic system upside
down?

14. House 3D printing in 2014
Slightly less than 10,000 USD

16. House 3D printing in 2018
Approximately 1,000 USD

17. Near future Helmond (Netherlands)
Discount on rent in exchange for dates

18. But already on the internet
WikiHouse.cc: Cost will be
similar to other building
methods, but the building will
be faster and easier to build,
more customisable, more
sustainable and higher
performance. The cost will
also be much more
predictable.

19. Exponential growth

20. 3D Printing

22. Decentralized Autonomous Organizations
Taxi license Crowd reviews
Blockchain
& self
driving cars

23. Society is changing
● New technology & social development
● From EGO to ECO systems
● Abundance in the sharing economy
● Access above ownership
● Crowdsourcing stronger than organizations
Society 3.0

25. Yes but...
... You must also have bread on the shelf
... The world is not changing so fast, I am fine with it until I retire
... Technology is not for everyone
... Technology is not fun for everyone
...?

26. Change in thinking: Yes, and ...
... You must also have bread on the shelf
By living in other value systems you need less money and even food is shared
... The world is not changing so fast, I am fine with it until I retire
That's what they thought at Kodak. Discover new possibilities and find a balance to bridge the changes.
... Technology is not available for everyone
There is many open source available. They had mobile payments in Kenya sooner than in Europe.
... Technology is not fun for everyone
Innovation through technology occurs in every sector. Work from your intrinsic motivation and see how you
can make technology work for you.

27. Catalytic Thinking
It is important that we focus on thinking,
because it is not really actions that produce
results, but the thinking that is contained in
those actions - our assumptions and beliefs.

28. Catalytic Thinking
How do we change our thinking? By changing
the questions we ask. Change the questions
and we change everything.
The starting point is the human being.

30. Where & how I did this?
● Standard school route not completed but learned
autodidactically through internet & meetups
● In other economies since I was 6:
○ Bulletin Board Systems (the 80's)
○ Own sites and online services (90s & 200x)
○ Online store (early 2000)
○ Google Top Contributor (2012)
○ Seats2meet.com (2012)
○ Permanent Future Lab (2015)
○ The Things Network Crowdsourced IoT (2015)
○ Blockchain (2015)

31. And you?
?

32. Paradigm shift
Demand, supply = price due to scarce supply
Demand, supply = different price due to
abundance

33. Serendipity. In general you do not know what you will
expect back. It will be relevant!
● Someone who will expand your open source project
● a review that can yield a good reputation
● Access to products & services that others pay for with
money
● a paid assignment
● More abundance
