Empowering citizens

4. Smart Citizens
• Will take responsibility for the place they live, work and love;
• Value access over ownership, contribution over power;
• Will ask forgiveness, not permission;
• Know where they can get the tools, knowledge and support;
• Value empathy, dialogue and trust;
• Appropriate technology, rather than accept it as is;
• Will help the people that struggle with smart stuff;
• Ask questions, before they come up with answers;
• Take part in design efforts to come up with better solutions;
• Work agile, prototype early, test quickly, start all over;
• Will not stop in the face of huge barriers;
• Continuously share their knowledge and their learning.
