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.

@MrDJB28 As the future's hope, we should all work together to create the common good! XD

.. curve where linear development changes to exponential development. It's like Moore's law. And the progression of technology will keep on increasing in the coming decades and it will take us all by surprise. The previous century was the century of discovery. We had Einstein and quantum mechanics for example. And this century is going to be the century of the application of science into technology. I say hold on to your seats because it's going to be one hell of a ride!!

I wonder if the female professor from Talinn is aware of Ray Kurzweil's trend analysis on the development of technology. She states major shifts happen every 40 years or so and that this has to do with generations adopting new technologies. This is not a convincing statement compared to the work done by Kurzweil. Kurzweil shows us that technology used to be quite a linear development but that now with information technology it is accelerating and round about now we have reached the knee of the..

@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.

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.

@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

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.

@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!
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.

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.
