Juan Enriquez - My favorite futurist ( TED Talk with additional links)

[saint]

Hey All,

I have had the pleasure of attending Mr. Enriquez's talks and it is quite an experience in witnessing the machinations of a once in a generation mind.

In this talk Mr.Enriquez covers the economy, how we got there and what the reboot will look like.

The following was given at a TED conference - I've added additional information below.

Sorry - the video will not embed.

I assume many of you are familiar with TED, but for those who haven't yet had the pleasure:

TED is a small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader. Along with the annual TED Conference in Long Beach, California, and the TEDGlobal conference in Oxford UK, TED includes the award-winning TEDTalks video site, the Open Translation Program, the new TEDx community program, this year's TEDIndia Conference and the annual TED Prize.

There is a substantial library of vids covering a wide variety of topics here:

I look forward to your thoughts,

No macs - I'm revenue side - lol.

Macs are for the creative hippies in the art department.

Thanks for the heads up.

Goodstuff, as for the near to mid term on the generational scale.

I would say we're gonna see quite a bit more of Homer-erectus primarily.

Reason why stemcells were rejected by the Bush admin. ;D
