I am a undergraduate computer science student, who is passionate about software. I've always had a desire to see the great potential of technology unleashed to improve the world, and maybe even move us closer to some sort of utopia. I dont know if this is possible, and sometimes its hard to even define the utopia perfectly. So I have opened a group on CollectiveX.com. We will utilize the great technology that makes up CollectiveX to discuss, brainstorm, and plan how we can grow this plan further.

Why use CollectiveX? There are only 24 horus in everyones day, and for me at least, there are a steadily growing number of social circles, jobs, and projects filling that time. I feel there is a need for me to spend time discussing these issues, and CollectiveX makes it very efficient.
I see alot of groups and websites concentrating on specific goals or areas, like netsquared (non profits). We need to discuss more generally where technology is needed, and then we can drill down on something specific.
