Anathema: "someone or something intensely disliked or loathed", I don't think this word means what you think it means? Perhaps antithesis?
Also, I don't know much about the smart-city idea, though I do know that you can design spaces, homes, blocks, etc. in a way that creates natural interaction -- which is something that Google has excelled at (possibly more than any other company). This is also discussed heavily in facilitator-culture (and can be seen with Zappos).
- TheCapeGreek 6y agoAnathema is Greek for damnation, or accused/accursed from Latin (shortening the etymology I read on it)[1]. Makes more sense as damnation in modern usage, so I think it stands. [1] https://www.etymonline.com/word/anathema https://www.etymonline.com/word/anathema
- KerryJones 6y agoMmm, you might be able to argue with poetic license that it stands, but I would argue that's not what it means in English, and it's derivation is not its current meaning, and even with "damnation" as a definition it still doesn't read very well.
