“…Among others, ideas to decrease the minimum voting age to 16 were discussed in the context of FFF (Welzer, 2019). Activist Jakob Blasel called FFF a "lived lesson in democracy" that cannot be taught at school (Sadik, 2019). In contrast, critical voices such as Hüther (2019), head of the German Economic Institute, called for an end of the protests and urged the students to "change politics democratically" by getting politically involved in parties and parliaments instead.…”

“…McCray, having coined the term "Visioneering" [32], defines it as "developing a broad and comprehensive vision for how the future might be radically changed by technology, doing research and engineering to advance this vision, and promoting one's ideas to the public and policy makers in the hopes of generating attention and perhaps even realization" [27], preferably by strengthening sustainable considerations. Section 5 will argue that Bush's Memex fell short in several vision quality categories and, hence, qualifies more as a utopian system vision.…”

“…To address the current sorry KM state and its proposed potential decentralized KMS solution in the context of a "Desirable Sustainability Vision", hence, adds to the quality and communication of a purposeful design and theory effectiveness. It also allows for tapping into the visioneering's "vast potential for investigations and increasing public, political and scientific relevance", including the "attribution of desirability to the vision" [32]. It, moreover, seems to facilitate good opportunities to share the potential prospects with a wider critical mass of stakeholders as a prerequisite for creating the respective reality of decentralized KM and generative Personal KMSs.…”

Proposing a major (though envisaged synergetic) shift in the knowledge management (KM) paradigm needs to convince a skeptical audience. This article attempts such a feat and motivates its conceptual considerations by fusing a wide scope of theoretical KM-related foundations in response to current KM unsustainabilities and emerging enabling technologies. The envisioned workflows, infrastructure, affordances, and impact resulting from the progressing design science research and prototyping efforts are consolidated and reframed, guided by a five-step visioneering process and twelve triple-criteria-clusters combining innovative, technological, and vision-related qualities. Inspired by Bush’s “Memex”, a desirable vision never realized since its suggestion three quarters of a century ago, the novel KM system (KMS) pursues the scenario of a mutually beneficial co-evolution between individual and institutional KM activities. This article follows up on the unsatisfactory and unsustainable state of current KM affairs suffering from accelerating information abundance, invisible work, structural interdisciplinary holes, lacking personal tools, and widening opportunity divides. By portraying a potentially transformative and game-changing technology, the crafting and drafting of a desirable, sustainable, and viable KMS vision assures transparency and can be more easily shared with a critical mass of stakeholders as a prerequisite for creating the respective future KM reality. The drafting of the “Desirable Sustainability Vision” is envisaged to assist a currently accepted KMS start-up project and investment.

“…This technoscientific imperative is being constructed and enacted through various futuristic discourses that are central to how technoscience is legitimated and entangled with publics and politics. Thus, much of the public appeal of mainstream technoscience is based on grand promises about how new technical capabilities might turn into innovations and redesign society (Dickel and Schrape, 2017;Sand and Schneider, 2017).…”

Amongst the many modes of citizen science in the past years TechnoCitizenScience has emerged. In this paper we argue that it is necessary to distinguish between science and technoscience since they are based upon different practices and goals. Whilst 'science' tries to explain the world, 'technoscience' tries to technologically construct worlds. Whereas citizen science involves publics to contribute to data gathering and interpretation, TechnoCitizenScience involves publics in technological world making. The article analyses three different cases of TechnoCitizenScience in a FabLab, a professional Makerspace and a civic hackathon. Whilst particular similarities such as discourses of inclusion and engineering rationalities guide these activities we show that TechnoCitizenScience takes place in diverse settings to fulfill different agendas. By creating prototypes for engineering publics TechnoCitizenScience expands the regime of technoscience into society.
