In the end, it‘s all about me!

Do ICTs have changed my behaviour?

It‘s all about me !

I „own“ 2% of a car I own 0,2% of the books I read If I lived in Paris, I‘d „own“ 0,5% of a bike I shop online I read newspapers online I telework

ICTs offer opportunities to better share» ... leading to more energy efficient behaviour

Do we need ICTs for that ?

No, and yes !

ICTs can help objects to be more efficient ICTs can help some usages to be more efficient

But we need to look at the whole urban system (which is more than the sum of ist objects...)

... and couldn‘t ICTs also lead to deny responsibilities ? ...

Thank you for your attention!
