Don't post my comments, figures.

They sure do see a shift coming and these older people, organizations and corporations are indeed behind the curve.

New models... right.

The three-minute speed dating bit rocked. Nothing better than than seeing the economic geniuses of the work fail miserably at normal every-day social contact.

There was a time when there were closed captions....This year there are not. Sad, a bit shameful...

means to an end... and what end should that be? Should anyone be allowed to control the means of production of another? And what are we really counting with our currency? What are the costs for obtaining a profit? I believe we're looking at a fundamental metric issue, what are we really measuring with our currency? And is it meeting the ends we want as human beings on this planet together?

One can't have sustainability and profits/capitalization in the same sentence.

@ 56:00 he says "trust in the media grew".

No, trust in the mainstream media hasn't grown. Far from it. Media tends to keep quiet about what the govts are doing, allowing them to get away with alot of criminality imho. I think I speak for many on this issue. If media had been doing their job all along, we would not have been in the predicaments we find ourselves in at this point in time. Media is still today, nothing more than propoganda, pushed by the govts.

Great debate, but Nik Gowing is far too bossy.
