SV: after a couple of weeks

[Eva P Svensson]

Hi Funda,
And sorry for being late on this...
No, technology is not new in itself of course but together with open space I
guess we could say that it is. I don't know - but when I do state it like
that - then it seems to be understandable and no one ask more..
:o)

Space Technology - Technology because open space always exists"

Eva,

I also face this question very often : people ask me "why  it's called
technology?"

So do you mean :" open space always exists but technology is
new?"

In turkish when we discussed about translation ; we decided to make a word 
by
word complete translation as we didn't want to lose connection to open space

technology
world wide, in this way it's easier for others  reach all the info and 
experiences.

I also heard that someone is calling it "unlimited spaces" or "infinite 
spaces"

I guess I missed this conversation, but the simple truth of the matter is
that Open Space "became" a technology almost as a joke. It (OS) was so
simple (minded?) that it seemed to require a little "dressing up." And of
course "technology" is a fancy, positive word. If it was a technology, it
had to be good :-)

In self defense I must also point out that Open Space actually is a
technology, at least as far a Webster's Dictionary is concerned. 

Technology: 1 a : the practical application of knowledge.

This of course presumes that we actually knew what we were doing -- and that
of course is questionable. 

The 2nd definition may be a little closer to the mark. "2 : a manner of
accomplishing a task especially using technical processes, methods, or
knowledge."

No matter -- it works.
