Ericsson’s 2020 Shaping Ideas are series of great video talks by some great thinkers on their views on the drivers of the future and how connectivity is changing the world.
From the site: Broadband connectivity and mobility are changing the way we live, the way we work, the way markets function, and the way societies operate. At Ericsson, we need to collaborate and get inspiration from people outside our business in order to adapt to these changes – people that take a stand, and that want to share and work together.
In 2020 – Shaping Ideas, we ask 20 thinkers to share their view on the drivers of the future and how connectivity is changing the world.
They describe a future where a growing population faces never before seen challenges and opportunities; where digital natives will shape their lives and the enterprises they work for, and where technology could create a global golden age.
We believe it is important to share our knowledge about the future. If we do, the future might not be a place we are going to, but a place we create.
