  • Great video and good to see someone standing against all the negativity toward young people. As a young person all this negativity and generalization seriously pisses me off. As he said things are getting better, not worse, it used to really annoy me as a kid and even made me depressed that people were so negative but now I don't let it get to me because I know its generally just generalization.

    I'm excited to see how technology progressed and how this Digital Revolution will prevail.

  • Connectivity alone does not change the world. What matters is what you (or the majority of constituting individuals) are connected to, as well as what you are on the network. Network is merely a connected, engineerable picture of what a society is. And it is obvious that the industries are trying all their best to gain the power of control and play god for money. Trust me. I am a researcher in complex network theory with published papers, and I'm sure network is not the gateway for ideal world.

  • Technology has shaped and made life easier. However, we can't get away with the disadvantages of technology that may affect us as well. That would never guarantee a comfortable and easy life. Change is constant but how we deal with it and what we aspire is what matters. We can't depend on technology every second of our lives.

  • Today is yesterday's future, and it's still not good enough to all these "great thinkers". Rhetorical question: Will it ever be? Hmm... maybe it's the programming.

  • this video is a message from the 1%

  • I just hope the idea of the individual doesn't die I would not want to live in a collectivist world.

  • Does Anne Lise Kjaer say "empatic leadeship" in her interview? Like, what does that even mean?

  • Comment removed

  • i think she meant "emphatic"... the accent must have negated the h lol

  • What turned out to be a Writing project at first, based on the relationship between technology and our society in the future, became a high interest later on. I'm very intrigued by how these top thinkers explain their thoughts thorougly about shaping networked societies.

    I'm sure noone will bother caring, but I now have the urge to announce that l will be taking college courses based on what l learned today and stick with as long as i can. I'll be the future's hope.

  • @MrDJB28 We are thrilled to see your comment and wish you the best of luck with your future!!

  • @MrDJB28 I can relate! A couple of years ago, I stumbled upon earth-bag building on YouTube. Ever since then, I have learned so much about solar power, zero-point (free/unlimited) energy, earth homes, the tiny house movement, green homes, etc..... And now a friend of mine and I are starting an earth home/free energy construction biz!!! Stay positive, surround yourself with good hearted people, and the cosmos will help you find your purpose in life!

  • @taylordesignsllc YOU have the right idea, -alternative fuels - networking means nothing but enslavement to a diseased system unless you are instigating a REAL break from the monster oil companies and armament companies stranglehold on the planet, - we need alternative fuels - see AIR CARS! SEE - The Story of Hemp

  • @MrDJB28 you and some other good people hopefully

  • The time ahead of us offers many opportunities, no doubt about that. However I have the assumption not all of us can keep up with the rapid speed of change. So despite the great promises of the future, I personally wonder, what should we do with all the people who have problems catching up? I mean in the past robots took over many jobs in manufacturing, and now advanced software has the potential to make millions of service workers redundant. Where should all these people go then?

  • @HermannRattenhuber No doubt there are going to be challenges as well as opportunities in the Networked Society.

  • @HermannRattenhuber Hermann, if you are a great professional, the best you can wish for yourself is to become irrelevant. If you do your work in a way you improved it daily, eventually, you will be free to deliver it to someone else or even to someone less qualified than you (as you made things work so much simpler). Then you can move to a diferent, greater, challenge. All these people will work on something different, and create something very different then they would on their past jobs.

  • We COULD have a golden age. All this is, is possibility in a nutshell. We've got SO MUCH potential. Yeah, there're a million and five things wrong with the world right now, but we can change it. We can stop it. The video's not trying to say that everything is perfect now. All it's showing is that things can, and are, getting better. All we have ahead of us is the future.

  • Wow. A few academics, business "leaders" and "consultants", all of whom have profited on one way or another from espousing the benefits of technologies that are concentrating in fewer and fewer hands.

    Hey - lets ask Wikileaks how they feel about "empowerment" as Amazon denies them a server and Visa and MasterCard revokes their account... Technology will save us from a derivatives market that exploded trillions of dollars of wealth?

    These people live in bubbles of entitlement - not "reality".

  • Every new second is a perspective of something new!!!

    New things are nothing NEW!!

  • i hope the future is this promising!! 

  • I think that the idea that "we" could have a "global golden age" is a bit naive, considering the challenges we face ahead. With global warming, poverty / starvation, looming economic collapse, increasing, far reaching global militarism, etc, I'd say our chances at having a "golden age" are a little bleek, say 5% down to 2% or less. Like past empires, our current American centered world will either collapse or enhance It doesn't seem like the people who run things are able to be honest or kind

  • The story which you paint, makes me look to the future with hope. Thank you for sharing such an inspiring vision of the connected society. Well worth the 20 minutes :-)

  • @Bunsite

  • I agree, this recession is a punctuation point.
