IED
The Shared Dictionary
As part of the IED Factory 2017 week, I was invited to lead a cross-disciplinary group of BA students in shaping a brand new dictionary, designed to anticipate what will be the words we will use in that future when the sharing economy will rule the world.
Some remarkable results include:
arbidron
Drone arbitrating a sport match.
bankup
Database collecting personal data to use as a backup in case of identity theft.
combitat
Agreement between two people willing to share the same living space.
fakegrabber
Algorithm scouting for fake news in order to hide them.
greentogreen
Also G2G: directly exchanging agricultural products, without using a currency.
housecrossing
Temporary home exchange.
modatar
Avatar replacing a model during a fashion show.
roomtribution
Offering for free a room to a person in need.
sporbot
Sport practiced by robots.
swooking
Short for swap booking: a platform to book housecrossing.
techbunal
Tribunal judging about a controversy between AIs.
tobor
Robot out of order.
