The implications of mobile phones with camera’s is far greater than one would expect. The ability to shoot a photo or small video at any moment combined with the hyperconnectivity of the Internet creates video’s like this one. Watch the policeman knocking over a cyclist.
The policeman later said the cyclist was obstructing traffic and deliberately steered his bicycle into an officer. A video of the body-check was posted on YouTube and has been viewed more than 1.6 million times. The policeman has been degraded as a consequence.
About Herman
Herman Wagter is one of the founders and co-editor of Dadamotive. His work as interim manager and consultant (Citynet Amsterdam/Fiber-to-the-Home, Platform Sustainable Mobility) has involved him directly in the impact of hyperconnectivity and sustainability on society. As an independent agent and "mobile warrior" he has experienced the pro's and con's of how organizations and projects can be structured, and what the effects on the final result can be. In his opinion we are entering an era of profound change, driven by these fundamental forces. Following the trends, discovering the fun and debunking the half-truths is a passion he likes to share with others.
