The Society

1.New city, new society.

     New urban landscape system will redefine how people interact with others, how they will socialize, work and live. It will also reshape the existing culture, religion and tradition in harmony with a new era of human civilization.

     More urban open space will give more opportunity for people gathering, meeting or collaborating with others. The sense of interconnection between one with another will be greater than before. At the same time the new society will increase the work efficiency and quality, as less pressure from the office workload but increasing work quality. People will regard work as entertainment and pleasure rather than thing that must to be done, as now there is an intertwining definition between working and entertaining. Working could be meant entertainment and vice versa.

     The new city landscape and the integrated digital technology (including Information and Communication Technology) embedded on its essence, will make easier for human connection and interaction with others, virtually or in real time. They can work and conduct any business meeting anytime and anywhere whenever they do like. They can travel and live wherever they want to colonize permanently or temporarily. Thank to the integrated wearable digital enhancer to their body as new integrated part of their body (to form part as whole rather than intruder). With the data stored on their new body part, they can easily move and travel to one place to another, and become a local within seconds.

       The data stored on their body will replace the existing ID card (including driving license), passport, health history and bankcard, but it will enhance and become complement to the existing natural personal identifications: fingerprints, iris pattern, and DNA. The device will make possible for them to conduct any secured data exchange or transfer through a point of personal assistance spread over the city or any place where any human activities happened and conducted (move, plug, unplug and play system). The exchange point could be as public exchange control portable wireless port, it is multi function port for any data transfer (as passport/ID, bankcard/ATM, or as health card) and the port could be located on the street, country borders, public-buildings, hospital and airport both as mobile or fix station.

     At the end, the city will become a large digital data exchange or communication center or invisible enclosure for anyone regardless where they located (in the building, on the street, in the station for any activities may they do). The urban landscape then will become an integrated part of human lifestyle (personality), no longer just a place for human activities, but could become another bubble that cover up the personal bubble, that more public and more complex as this bubble will intentionally to engage and more have friction with another bubbles. Therefore the new society will become a society that very active, mobile, independent and at the same time has less direct interpersonal engagement.
