Societies of the future
just a thought that recurs in discussion on the society of the future - smart devices for sure, but also social networks that are smaller, closer, trust based and focussed around matters of interest from health to hobbies.

I was involved with a pilot project in Bavaria, for e-medicine, as some towns here have become intensive centres for treatment, mainly ME people. But their own communities are aging and the health of their citizens has become a serious concern for the local authorities. So some Groove colleagues and i are designing the first of such "social networks" to knit together communities.

Meanwhile some years ago i had embedded a Camera App inside groove to provide a live surveillance and interaction capability between users / groups, perfect for monitoring of the elderly. Lots of different pieces to the big picture and i am hoping your guys have some ideas for me.
