Trust is always essential when goods have to be shared and when there are Dependents in a community. But Trust is not sold in the supermarket. Trust is based on Experience and needs time to grow. The problem in my opinion is that the tasks in today’s world are not created to let Trust develop. Usually everything is based on money. We try to buy Trust with money. We buy insurances! We give companies money to take away our waste! We give cities money to get water in our houses. All these examples show that we give away responsibility due to money.
A very important experience a gathered in nature is that NOT ONE Species except humans need money to organize themselves! Money destroys responsibility and in last consequence our world. For a Smart Grid scenario in 2050 we have to use Trust as a developed behavior in our community.
The thing is: The Magic Key is NO MONEY! We need a world without money but full of Trust! To achieve this we will displace Money by Communication.
