Seven Themes for the Coming Decade | World Future Society | :: The 4th Era :: | Scoop.it

By James Lee

 

"Understanding long-term trends is an important tool in identifying opportunities and risks.  STEEP analysis looks at the world through five different perspectives – Social, Technological, Economic, Ecological, and Political. 

 

"The following are the major themes that are presently shaping the future..."

Jim Lerman's insight:

Quite a deep synthesis of emerging trends. What is most interesting to me is the second part of the article, in which the 7 trends are conidered in combinations with one another, creating reverberating trends upon trends.

Educational changes predicted include online education as a Government cost cutting imperative, urbanisation leading to the demand for more education, the need for education to drive necessary innovations, Gray boom looking to teaching and mentoring as a second career.

Ivon Prefontaine's curator insight, December 28, 2012 1:37 PM

It is important to observe and work with trends. I think the greatest challenge will be to know when to let go. What works and what does not work? Those will become essential questions.

What Is Curation and Why It's So Relevant? [Video]

Robin Good: A great video animation introducing some of the key ideas, dreams and concepts behind content curation.

 

From the video: "One of the most beautiful things about the Internet is this sort of radical discovery, where you start in a place that you are familiar with, that you trust, and then you drill down and down and chase the white rabbit and then you end up in some wonderland you didn't know existed." 

 

The clip includes thoughts from some unique curators, picked and selected by Percolate, the company sponsoring this video. 

 

Inspiring. Insightful. 8/10
