You probably arrived in one of the million different ways that modern technology allows you to access information like this. Perhaps you arrived from a search engine like Google, or from a social bookmark on Del.ici.ous. Maybe you are one of the 59 million users on Facebook and followed a link here, or you could have just as easily followed your RSS/XML subscription here. It is possible that you are sitting in a village in a distant land on one of the $200 XO laptops from the '1 laptop per child' program. Perhaps you are vacationing in the south of France and are using your iPhone. The world is definitely shrinking courtesy of quantum leaps in the fields of communications, information and technology (amongst many others).
Many of the names and technologies mentioned represent some of the greatest innovations of our time. Inventions that have/will have the potential to change... to change the way we access information, the way we share it, the way we create equal opportunity, the way we train our leaders, the way we educate our youth and thus change the world we live in.
Our generation has that power; the power to bring about change on a global level at an unprecedented rate. And why would we not have that power? We have the resources, technology and the capacity...all we lack is the will to make it happen and faith in the ability to do it.
The profile of innovators, entrepreneurs, leaders, risk takers and life savers has changed. They are now younger, more creative and a lot more ambitious then ever before. They are not slowed down by the burden of 'youth' and 'inexperience' and are not easily hindered by set backs. They create industries where none existed and dream dreams that haven't been dreamed before. At times they might be considered 'idealists' attempting to achieve the impossible...but to them impossible is merely a man made restriction, to them impossible really is nothing.
There is now a huge migration in the way young people think...they are no longer waiting. They see tomorrow's problems, tomorrow’s opportunities and tomorrow's chances and grab at them today.
That is what this is about. This is about technologies, tools and people that aim to make an impact on the world. It’s about technologies, tools and people that can help YOU in your entrepreneurial effort to make an impact - be it for profit or not - the bottom line is being able to help people and societies that are in need.
I am quite likely to miss a great number of important technologies, so I do urge you to e-mail me in order to inform me about them. Alternatively, you could even contribute to the blog simply by writing to me. Feedback is a real pleasure, so do be generous and constructive.
Have a wonderful tomorrow.
