Technological fix for Terrorism
In response to the recent terrorist attacks in N.Delhi.
I sincerely hope that the Government is able to break this network (Indian Mudjhahideen and other terrorist threats) and bring justice. I hope this happens before the population of India gets used to them and starts treating the attacks like road accidents, with indifference. In addition, I hope the victims of the Gujarat riots get their due justice.
It is frustrating to wait for the Government and the judicial system to do everything. Is there anything that folks like us can do? Can we have a technological fix for terrorism and give voice to everyone?
- For example, people in technology could pursue research like this
- I read earlier about some city in New Zealand was using a wiki to make local laws. How did that work out? In this video Mike Gravel talks to Google about similar initiatives. Is that how our society will evolve into and give a voice to everyone?
- Is anyone at IIT working on fixing the problem of terrorism? Not even going crazy - a mix of GPS devices, special cameras/sensors on satellites to check border infiltration.
Of course, when basics like checking ‘illegal’ planes in the airspace, are not in place, it is difficult to expect much.
I am interested in finding more about solutions. If you have more info give me a buzz.

Wikilaw! I wonder if communities can evolve into self-organising, self-administering units that make (and enforce?) their own laws. Not one mayor but a million gate-keepers! Can't see it happening but its the only way to maintain the true integrity of a democracy, no? If the collective intelligence of a bunch of strangers has helped build wikipedia and has helped maintain its integrity .. I wonder if thats a principle we can use in the real world.
Dude, u will be interested in the Open Access Law Project : http://www.worldchanging.com/archives//008858.html
