What if all the transportation in Sweden is operated by UBER and all homes by AIRBNB?

1. Internet of NO things is already happening 2. It changes our relationship to the physical world3. Eventually internet will disappear and become part of our environment4. Nobody knows exactly how, but we know pretty certainly that somehow

5 nuggets from internet of NO things.

1. Super resource efficient society

2. Post-choice society.

3. Post-ownership society.

4. Post-market society.

5. Post-energy society.

Where to now?

We have two roads to choose from.

1. Conservative agenda. Conserve what our current structures with laws, regulations and incentivising

2. Progressive agenda. Ask what should we do with this new technology, how can we harness it and keep the values we have.

The progressive Agenda=

The Nordic Agenda
