Over the past few days I’ve been wrestling with a very troubling thought. It started with the simple question, “Ten years from now, anyone who is frustrated with those in power, whether it’s a local, national, or international issue, what options will they have for protesting what they see as an injustice, inequities, or outright corruption?” Voicing complaints on social media like Facebook or Twitter, organizing a sign-waving rally on the Capitol steps, or taking out a full-page ad in a newspaper will probably still be options, but they’re also a quick way to be branded a troublemaker.

Flat Army? What the heck is a Flat Army? Work environments need not feel like a military camp or a ruthless command-and-control operation. The process of work should be fun, innovative, creative and very engaging. I believe that the best way to create a connected and engaged organization is by invoking a “Flat Army” mindset. Why? Let’s unpack that analogy: To be flat is to be on a level surface, not in a hierarchy. To be in an army (from armata, the Latin term referenced in 1533, meaning a flotilla of vessels) is to be part of a large group of people who are committed to similar aims or beliefs.

Summary by The Futurist Magazine
"What technologies will most radically transform human life in the next twelve years? The McKinsey Global Institute looked at more than a hundred possible candidates across a variety of technology fields and narrowed the most potentially disruptive down to a dozen. They are, in order of size of potential impact:
-Mobile Internet defined as "increasingly inexpensive and capable mobile computing devices and Internet connectively." -Automation of knowledge work or "intelligent software systems that perform knowledge work tasks involving unstructrured commands and subtle judgments." An example might be IBM’s Watson system. -Internet of Things or "networks of low-cost sensors and actuators for data collection, monitoring, decision making and process optimization." -Cloud Technology or "use of computer hardware and software resources delivered over a network or the Internet, often as a service." -Advanced Robotics or "increasingly capable robots with enhanced senses, dexterity, and intelligence used to automate tasks or augment humans." This category is perhaps most famously personified by the Baxter robot (profiled in the May-June issue of THE FUTURIST magazine). -Autonomous and Near-Autonomous Vehicles. -Next Generation Genomics or "fast, low-cost gene sequencing, advanced big-data analytics, and synthetic biology." -Energy Storage. -3D Printing -Advanced Materials defined as "materials designed to have superior characteristics." Much of what we today call nanotechnology would fall within this category. -Advanced Oil and Natural Gas Recovery -Renewable Energy
"Of the above, the Mobile Internet, which could change the lives of more than 5 billion people around the globe, the automation of knowledge work, and the Internet of Things would have by far the largest economic impacts, according to McKinsey."
