On The Brink-The Past Present and Future of Connectivity- video by Ericsson

A post by Sabrina (No Fear community coordinator)

”There has not been a time in history which has enabled such rapid change. And in the most optimistic view, which is also simultaneously the most pessimistic view, a time which is enabling humans to be more of what we are. ” David Weinberger, Technologist and Co Author of Cluetrain Manifesto

Where is our future going? This is something which the NO FEAR book touches upon, but no one can really be sure.Ericsson’s Video On the Brink offers a simple, informative and well-executed perspective on the question. The video shares with us brilliant insights from the top- thought leaders of  Tech Society. Their message resonates beyond the IT sector. THIS IS WHERE WE ARE ALL GOING.

A future paved by connectivity holds so much promise, yet, like anything so uncertain, it’s still somewhat daunting. Its potential is so limitless that we cannot even fathom the changes it can bring. Not at this time, anyway.

We are also not equipped to comprehend the changes it will produce in our society.

As Robin Wauters of TechCrunch says in the film: ” We are at a time where things can change like that(snaps fingers) A new product comes along and it changes the entire market.”
