Open Software, Open Hardware, and Open Minds | CONTRACTOR
On our journey to people-powered buildings described in my never-ending stories, I have talked about “Building Whisperers” and “Building Better Building Bots Mindfully” and now, in our September chapter, we conclude that the most important component of the open movement is opening our minds in order to grow them younger.
It is not uncommon for people to have reservations about new and unfamiliar things. Negative preconceptions can color the unfamiliar in a bad light. This is a very limiting notion, however. Being open to different lifestyles and ideas can actually broaden your horizons and enrich you, if you are brave enough to give them a chance.
