Gerd Leonhard is a futurist in the Media, Technology and Communication Industries. On the video below, he talks about social media and how he thinks it will change the way we live, communicate and make money in the near future. He also talks about the probable consequences of these changes on privacy, advertising, intellectual property and business paradigms.
It is very interesting.
PS: you can skip the first 60 seconds of the video. The introduction is not worth watching.
Due to the fact that I have been out of time lately, I stopped writing for a little while. During these few weeks I found various interesting subjects that I would like to have written about.
As long as I cannot write about them all, I decided to list some of them and provide links to sites on which they can be found.
