We had it all– Talking movies

transmitted magically through the air

– Innovative transportation

– Personal radios we made at home

– Talk to anyone, anywhere in the world with a few turns of a dial

The Future has arrived– Playing now in their

bedrooms– Fast processing, big

memory, extraordinary graphics

– Usage skills are analogous to the BB’s tuning a transistor radio

– Multi-tasking a way of life

– Virtual networks of friends and study pals

– Expert at long-range collaborative interactions

– Active in programming and user groups

– Involved, engaged, enthralled, excited

– Renaissance techies– Its become cool to be

a nerd

• The more efficient our technology, the more energy we consume.

• The cost of energy is dominated by the cost of extraction and refinement

• The Flat World enables and welcomes new knowledge industry economies connected via virtual networks

And An Internet CultureAnd An Internet Culture

• A great trust in the Internet and by extension, in people they have never met (wiki, open source)

• Sharing in Virtual Societies (BLOGS etc)

• “Google” the world and discover anything on your own

• Knowledge is “free”• A new view of the workday and

workplace – where ever you are, whenever you need to and with whomever you want to

• Energy is required to power this, and it is ubiquitous and sufficient

• Business is global, national identities are transparent and cultural and political borders are breached

• A microsecond is a long time to wait

• Parallel minds work in multiple simultaneous worlds, managing multiple complex cultures

• Incredible richness of media from streaming video to multi-media to webcams – we “live” in the media, we don’t watch it

• The world is small – everything is connected – easy time travel from one reality to another
