"Military Estonia", "Subcontractor Estonia", "Merchant Estonia" or "Innovation/ICT Estonia". Which one is closest to Estonian reality? I would exclude Military while I believe Estonia does not lack freedom or openness and Merchant while purely transit-based is Estonia not. Innovation Estonia as "Grand Slam" would be desirable but the "Silicon Valley" with no respect to social aspects should be avoided. I agree with the evaluation from lecture that "Subcontractor Estonia" is the closest to reality at the moment. There has been and still is strong will to belong to Europe and develop towards Northern Europe. Innovation is much spoken about, in reality it could be more represented by successful projects and developments and Estonia could reach something between Subcontractor and Grand Slam.
Social dimension has important part in developing future network society. Reaching ubiquitous computing needs strong input from 'hacker society' which also means that social cohesiveness and caring in society have to be improved. Concentrating stricktly on business interests would hinder the process.
