The next industrial revolution?
A prequel !
Not so long ago....unbelievable constraints !
Not so long ago....unbelievable constraints !
An amazing confluence....all the technologies available in the same timeframe!
The digital divide has gone...hardware and access costs are no longer an issue....and nor is software!
Everybody is now on line...
>5Bn people have mobiles & >50% are internet ready!
>5Bn people have mobiles & >50% are internet ready!
Soon it will be everything!
…and now entering the workforce… -Any platform- Any device - Any OS - Any Application
- An entirely different expectation!
~20 years of living on line…

Machines produce everything....and without them we would all die...
We have to stand on the shoulders of what went before....but it was a ‘food to waste’ cycle
This is unsustainable in the long, and perhaps even the short, term - and growth always has limits !
Mother Nature on the other hand....has created sustainable ‘food to waste to food’ cycles
This eco-system model is now one we have to aspire to…to live symbiotically with our planet !
