Technology

• Alcatel and NEC test 3rd generation fibre optics

• Sends 10 trillion bits per second
         via one single strand of fibre…

  per year to developing countries
• Predictions are that by 2049, a $ 1000
  computer will be built that could

Information




              19
The HeartMath Institute
  In 1930 – the norm was one
telephone for every 50 workers…
Currently 2.7 billion searches
    every month on Google…
Approximately
 3000 books
  published
 every day…
Total text messages sent every
   day exceeds the entire
     population of the
         planet…
Estimated that one weeks of
  information in the New York
     Times is more than one
      individual would have
encountered in his entire life
 time in the 18th century
Demographics




               25
Size does matter…
If you are one in a million in
            China…

There are 1300 people just
          like you
    In India it is 1100
The 25 % of the population with
   the highest IQ’s in China…
Is more than the entire
population of North America…
 With India it is the top 28 %
This means they have
 more honours kids
than the Americans
    have kids…
China will soon become the
  number one English
 speaking country in the
          world…
If you take every job in the US
   today and ship it to China…
 They will still have a labour
             surplus
The Nett Result

Collaboration




                34
Web 1.0 was about (electronic)
           pages…
   Web 2.0 is about people
       (collaboration)
Wikipedia
 Facebook
 YouTube
  SKYPE
Second Life


Firefox
MySpace (106 million users)

If it was a country it would
  have been the 11th largest
  in the world (somewhere
      between Mexico and
             Japan)

“Organizations will still be
 critically important in the
        world, but as
   ‘organizers,’ not
     ‘empoyers’!   – Charles Handy




                                     67
In industrial organizations, the
  hierarchy outperformed
natural organisation formats
in terms of coordination and control. The
  introduction of the “Network Society”
           changed that – Manuel Castells
