Le Concept MID mauricien: mythe, mensonges et détournements !

Posted on by Alain BERTRAND


Quand le mercantilisme politique s’en mêle !

J’ai HONTE !

Entre le concept visionnaire de Joel de Rosnay et l’état du MID (Maurice Ile Durable) en 2012, il y un gouffre aberrant ! Non pas parce que le peuple mauricien ne se sente pas concerné, mais bien par la volonté destructrice d’une clique politique, mafieuse et menteuse.

Le mercantilisme politique tire la nation mauricienne vers le bas, entraînant vers le fond, par la même occasion, l’image d’un pays en pleine crise d’identité écologique. Les sonnettes d’alarme tintinnabulent de toutes parts, mais nos dirigeants font la sourde oreille au mépris du bon sens et d’une certaine responsabilité citoyenne, voire même globale.

Isn’t Social Media About Being… Social, Human, Not Speculative? (2012)

Posted on by Alain BERTRAND


Social Media is a Human Tool, not just another Techno Bubble…

At the beginning, there was that massive information influx from true-gurus, neo-gurus, pseudo-gurus, fake-gurus and from Mr. and Mrs. Anybody about Social Media. It reminded of some ill-famous bubble that was inflating so fast, that only a very few could predict its burst and resulting spills. If one can recall, the dot com bubble started just like that; a buzz about prefix-investing. One just had to add e. at the beginning of his company name or .com at the end of it, to pretend to be the next big brand around, driving all sorts of investors to the cliff edge like a bunch of silly sheep. At least, this episode allowed us to see the start and end of a “boom and burst cycle” live, in one actual lifetime. But did we retain our lessons well?

Technology is the extension of our intentions.

The place of Social Media in a Sustainable future

Posted on by Alain BERTRAND


The Source of The Interrogation

I was once asked to situate the position of Social Media in a sustainable world. What place would it take? What impact? How relevant? What was the toll of having more than 2 billion people connected in a smaller-made wired world?

It took me hours, days to figure that out, even though I had thought, initially, that the answers were as obvious as eyes on a face! Read More

Onboard the RIO+20 Global Initiative through Global Dialogues

Posted on by Alain BERTRAND


The Big Splash into the GLOBAL DIALOGUES

This has been 2 weeks since I got onboard the Mauritian team working towards the UN Conference Rio+20 initiative. What a rich, fruitful fortnight this has been! As a professional and an individual it has been very much inspiring.

For me, that was the perfect timing to meet with world class individuals and professionals, to start working on communication concepts that would boost the Mauritius Ile Durable (MID) Concept amidst the Global effort to change attitudes towards the environmental problems plaguing our planet.

I would suggest you join the move too. (by Clicking on the links provided at the end of the article).  It is your world, your planet and your future after all ! Read More
