Wise to invest in a diverse set of new creative economic activities (not Panda Bear)
• Internet of things
• Increasing intelligence
• 3-D Printing
• Synthetic Biology
• Nanotechnology
• Retrofitting buildings for energy production
• Continue robotic manufacturing
• One-Person Businesses (massive training programs)
Next Mega Trend: Conscious-Technology
When the distinction between these two trends
becomes blurred, we will have reached the
Post-Information Age

Creative Industries…. for what?
• For arts?
• For media?
• For entertainment?
• Yes, that is part of it, but also creativity to address the 15 Global Challenges
• Businesses grow and survive that address real challenges – especially long-term challenges
15 Global Challenges: A Framework for Understanding Global Change, and an Agenda for Humanity
Challenge 1: How can sustainable development be
achieved for all while addressing global climate change?
Challenge 2: How can everyone have sufficient
clean water without conflict?
Challenge 3: How can population growth and
resources be brought into balance?
Challenge 4: How can genuine democracy
emerge from authoritarian regimes?
Challenge 5: How can policymaking be made more
sensitive to global long-term perspectives?
Challenge 6: How can the global convergence of information
and communications technologies work for everyone?
Challenge 7: How can ethical market economies
be encouraged to help reduce the gap between
rich and poor?
Challenge 8: How can the threat of new and
reemerging diseases and immune microorganisms
be reduced?
Challenge 9: How can the capacity to decide
be improved as the nature of work and
institutions change?
Challenge 10: How can shared values and new security
strategies reduce ethnic conflicts, terrorism, and the use of
weapons of mass destruction?
Challenge 11: How can the changing status of
women improve the human condition?
Challenge 13: How can growing energy demands be
met safely and efficiently?
Challenge 14: How can scientific and technological
breakthroughs be accelerated to improve the human condition?
Challenge 15: How can ethical considerations become more
routinely incorporated into global decisions?
Challenge 12: How can transnational organized crime
networks be stopped from becoming more powerful
and sophisticated global enterprises?
32 Seeds of the Future of Arts, Media, and Entertainment
Cross-Impact these 32 seeds to see what new creative industries are possible
The Creative Economy… not
Catch-up Economy
• Requires cultural/perceptual changes
– Silicon Valley example of boss and employee
– Google example of 20% paid free time – pools of creativity
– Finding markets worldwide vs. finding jobs where you live
• Builds on all South Koreans having Internet access with the processing power of
a human brain before 2020 and many more brains per person after that.
• Acts with Internet of things, and nanotech sensor nets
• Increases the changes from searching for a job, to searching for markets around
the world for individual’s capabilities.
• Changes market as the center to attract people to physical location to each
person as the center for a 2 billion person set of markets today, but 9
billion/person in 37 years.
Creative Economy Management
1. Hierarchy
2. Networks
3. Intersection of
Networks: Nodes
4. Connecting Nodes
into Fields of Play
5. Connecting Fields of Play
One-Person Businesses Find markets around the world for what you are interested in doing not non-existing jobs

Some Elements of Next Economic System
• Capitalist and socialist/communist systems are early industrial age economic
systems
• Emerging new economic system, adapted to the globalized world and knowledge
economy
• Assessing some future elements of the next global economy
• 35 elements (not policies, events, developments, or goals)
that might help shape the next economic system over the
next 20 years:
– rated as to their importance to improving the human condition
– potential positive and negative impacts’ descriptions
– analysis of levels of agreement
Top 10 Most Beneficial Elements
by 2030 Elements Imp Resp Agr.
1 Ethics: a key element in economic exchanges 8.36 168 0.86
2 New GDP definitions that include all forms of national wealth 7.96 164 0.78
3 Small tax on use of commons directed to global public goods 7.75 172 0.83
4 Collective intelligence: global commons for the knowledge economy 7.74 155 0.88
5 Continuously updated education on the evolving economic system and its elements 7.64 154 0.83
6 Simultaneous knowing – time lags changed or eliminated in information dissemination
with much greater transparency. 7.61 168 0.79
7 Value of natural resources used in production included in pricing 7.56 162 0.76
8 Women’s political-economic roles essentially on par with men 7.25 182 0.68
9 Increased public disclosure of "tax havens", secret accounts 7.10 153 0.68
10 Wealth, re-defined as experience and not the accumulation of money or physical things 6.83 161 0.62
Some other Interesting Elements
• Simultaneous knowing – time lags changed or eliminated in
information dissemination with much greater transparency.
• Non-ownership, as distinct from private ownership or
collective/state ownership (e.g. current open source software)
• Alternatives to continuously creating artificial demand and growth
• One-Person Business - Self-employment via the Internet—
individuals seek markets for their abilities rather than jobs
Future of Education is Increasing Intelligence: both Individual and Collective Intelligence
How to increase Individual Intelligence
1. Responding to feedback
2. Consistency of love, diversity of environment
3. Nutrition
4. Reasoning exercises
5. Believing it is possible (placebo effect)
6. Contact with intelligent people or via VR simulations
7. Software systems and gaming
8. Neuro-pharmacology (enhanced brain chemistry)
9. Memes on classroom walls and else where, for example: intelligence is sexy
10. Low stress, stimulating environments, with certain music, color, fragrances improves concentration and performance
11. Longer term:
• Reverse engineering the brain (President Obama)
• Applied Epigenetics and genetic engineering
• Designer microbes to eat the plaque on neurons
How to Increase Collective Intelligence
• It emerges from the integration
and synergies among
• data/info/knowledge
• software/hardware
• experts and others with insight
• that continually learns from
feedback
• to produce just in time knowledge
for better decisions • than these elements acting alone.
Why the Transition to CIS?
• The velocity, volume, and complexity of change and
challenges are increasing exponentially
• Some local issues depend on global developments
• The amount of information and data is exploding
• Our work shows that humanity has the resources to address
the challenges ahead
• Will we make the necessary decisions?
• We believe collective intelligence used by trans-Institutional
networks can help
An Application of Collective Intelligence:

Global Challenge Menu in GFIS
1. Situation Chart: Current Situation; Desired Situation; and Policies
2. Report (detailed text) on the challenge from State of the Future
3. News items (automatic news feeds – searchable)
4. Scanning (annotated, rated information)
5. On-going Delphi questionnaires to collect expert judgments
6. Public comments
7. Discussion groups
8. Computer models (mathematical and rules-based), and conceptual models
9. Resources: websites, books, papers, videos
10. Updates – all edits
11. Digests – Recent scans, edits, discussions

The Millennium Project
Purposes of the Millennium Project
• Create a global and on-going capacity to improve thinking about the future
• Make that thinking available through a variety of media for consideration in
• policymaking
• advanced training
• educational curricula
• public education
• Continually respond to feedback, to accumulate wisdom about potential futures
49 Millennium Project Nodes... are groups of experts and institutions that connect global and local views in:
Nodes identify participants, translate questionnaires and reports, and conduct interviews, special research, workshops, symposiums, and advanced training.
25 years ago there was no World Wide Web.
25 years from now: What will be emerging?
And from what?
