The Next Revolution Is Just Around The Corner

As Empires Crumble, Younger Generations Are Rethinking Our World, And Connectivity Is The Key

We have a history shaped by revolutions. Some came through conflict and bloodshed. Others were quiet and subversive. But revolutions, however they come about, mean one thing: Big change.

And the next revolution is just around the corner. It’s powered by technology but it’s not about technology. It doesn’t have leaders in the normal sense, and it’s riding the wave of collapsing institutions established by outdated empires. Sounds exciting?

Let me set the scene: In the last 40 years we humans have experience more change that at any time in history. Many of us witnessed the Personal Computer Revolution. We’ve experienced the Internet Revolution, and now we’re living in a Digital Information Revolution.

Technology has become so integrated with our lives that we don’t even think about it as technology any more. We live in a world shaped by information and powered by small digital devices. So much has changed in such a short period of time. And there’s more change to come, because all these technological revolutions are laying the foundations for something much greater.

Never have we been more connected as a world than we are today. Any moment of any day I have access to tools and systems and knowledge that seem completely disproportionate to the cost involved.

The potential is incredible, and many of us have learned to adapt to the changes. But here’s the thing — our kids were born into it, and they are the ones who are going to really make it work for good.

Young people of today are growing up in a super-connected world that redefines the boundary lines and challenges our perceptions of just about everything.
