Anthony Guiddens & globalization

Anthony Guiddens & globalization

Same patterns we have seen after one century of globalization

will apply for the second stage.

Human communications, driven & enriched by....

1. Wireless Technology

2. Mobile Internet services &

3. Global & Hyperlocal communities

...will accelerate exponentially social, political & economic

transformations.

"we have the chance to take over

where the 20th century failed,

technology has put every single one

of us in the front seat,

we are in control and we need to act

now“
