“The Internet isn’t really a technology. It’s a belief system”

Internet’s share of GDP is bigger than Health or Education

It’s changed how we experience culture

It’s changing our social life

It’s changing how we work

It’s changing politics

And the mobile Internet changes everything all over again…

In fact mobile will grow more than 100% in the next 5 years

Internet has changed our attitude to the ownership of technology

How we work with and leverage talent…

How we think about our homes and property

Even whether we need to own a car…
