Abstract
The sustainability and well-being of our societies are based on a model built on the paradigm of technological determinism; belief that technology in itself affects positive socioeconomic development. "Innovate or die" is the underlying ideology, the basis of all inequality and social injustice. But can another kind of paradigm be developed that were more just for everyone? In this article Mario Pansera and Mariano Fressoli analyze five specific cases, in the fields of Hardware and Open Software, in which innovation is based on caring for people and things, and they propose new lines of research for the creation of organizations that break with the established model.
