3. -2- EVR3Pathfinder EVRs – The Social Life Of Information Introduction –Tunnel vision leads to Tunnel Design. –Tunnel vision neglects the peripheries of the societies, the communities, the organizations –Badly designed technologies bite back, the good designed fight back.

4. -3- EVR3Pathfinder EVRs – The Social Life Of Information Limits to Information –The lack of information  society’s fundamental problems –The infoenthusiasts’s thought  simple volume of information  the man with the proverbial hammer, to whom everything looks like a nail  Datafication –The faith on the information  “embrace dumb power” instead of thinking hard (e.g. “Moore’s Law”) Information Problem
