Pekka Himaneni 2004. aasta raport Soome Parlamendile - arvustus

Challenges of the Global Information Society


Pekka Himanen (born November 19, 1973) is a Finnish philosopher. He studied philosophy at the University of Helsinki and computer science as a minor. Pekka Himanen is the youngest PhD in Finland.

In 2004, he presented a report to the Finnish Parliament on world economic models and technologies. The author was able to anticipate many of today's problems. 

Pekka has outlined three main models of economics and technology:

  • Silicon Valley (American) model
  • Singapore (Asian) model
  • European (Finnish) model

The author focused on the latter model and thought that a person could develop, and the favourable conditions for development in the later model are tolerance, trust, and creativity. In his opinion, a person must learn and grow throughout his life. Himanen points out that the population is ageing very fast, following the example of Europe. To compensate for this, it offers immigration and foreign labour growth and multicultural society. 

Mainly Pekka Himanen proposes to make the European model competitive using these 4 features:
  • Creative economy - Europe cannot compete with Asia's cheap labour. The only way is to involve creativity in production, which would add value to goods.
  • Creative welfare state - European society is ageing, and therefore the current system needs to be reformed to ensure its sustainability in the future.
  • Human development - is necessary to find a social, physical, mental, and cultural balance at work to have less stress and illness.
  • Global culture - As the population ages and shrinks, it is necessary to accept foreign labour to maintain an age balance. Tolerance should then be the norm.

Erinevad lahendused raamatust The Case for Copyright Reform ja nende hindamine

 A Constructive Proposal For Copyright Reform In Christian Engström's and Rick Falkvinge's book - The Case for Copyright Reform, chapter 2 - A Constructive Proposal For Copyright Reform, are described six points that can help to set all non-commercial copying and use free, and also to shorten the commercial protection time. Interesting fact, in parallel, authors want to keep the commercial exclusivity in a way that allows most business models that are viable today to continue to work. Moral Rights Unchanged I agree with the authors that the work of another person or persons must always be referred to. This is a popular issue on the Internet today. I suppose that mostly this problem exists in the entertainment industry. Free Non-Commercial Sharing Book's writers think that the author should share his work for free for personal gain. Maybe here the author could decide for himself whether to distribute his work for free or to charge for it. 20 Years Of Commercial Monopoly Unde

He joined Apple in March 1998, serving as senior vice president of global operations. Cook was hired to optimize Apple's supply chain, which suffered from poor production and distribution channels. Its ability to optimize the supply chain allowed Apple to market its products at competitive prices. This was best illustrated by the release of the iPad, which was introduced at a $ 499 entry price.
