Change is Accelerating

Want to see good art? And want to be inspired? Take the 8 minutes and learn from a variety of influential voices and how they perceive change going forward in the world.



"...never before have we had so many ideas and tools to help us cope with this change."


Collisions and connections are happening at such an incredible rate, and I think this video essentially captures two of the greatest pursuits of man: relationships and purpose.

We have so many tools that are driving innovation, and the latest software/hardware developments are making the world smaller. Collaboration is growing. Change is replicated at great rates.

I love that they start the video with a tight-lipped and baffled reaction to the question "What will the world be like in 50 years?"  The fact that so many contorted and sighed and shook their heads means that they have a vision that the next 50 years of improvement can grow beyond our perceptions. We can't wrap our minds around it. The networking is fantastic. As one voice in the video, Geoffrey West, stated that it is "almost spiritual".

I think we are just beginning to grasp the potential of the collective minds around the world and the systems/tools that can assist in getting us there.

And God has known all along.

WOW!
