  Are purely technological solutions the best answer we can get to the
shortcomings our organizations are often experiencing today? The results we
gathered in this work lead us to giving a negative answer to such question.
Science and technology are powerful boosters, though when they are applied to
the "local, static organization of an obsolete yesterday" they fail to
translate in the solutions we need to our problems. Our stance here is that
those boosters should be applied to novel, distributed, and dynamic models able
to allow us to escape from the local minima our societies are currently locked
in. One such model is simulated in this paper to demonstrate how it may be
possible to tap into the vast basins of social energy of our human societies to
realize ubiquitous computing sociotechnical services for the identification and
timely response to falls.
