@aral like comment. How will Smart meters fit this. Utilities will try & drive energy use but for whose benefit?https://twitter.com/aral/status/693890989719707648 …
@gideonthediver As with all tech: if decentralised; if we have ownership/control, great. Else, we are forever children in a digital sandbox.

@aral if children are told what to do the parent will not be listened to. History shows most ppl have little appetite to be told. -
@gideonthediver But the adults are cleverer than that these days: that which is invisible and convenient is harder to resist. -
@aral agreed but need culture shift so the consumer has power and more importantly knows how to use it. Messages need new del mechanism -
@gideonthediver Agree. And we can go even further and treat these as citizenship and human rights issues. (https://ind.ie/videos ) -
@aral that does assume parent can grow up & behave in a less protective way. Knowledge is power for some! Real power is confidence to let go
