Convert your Windows Server 2008 to a Workstation! Singularity University's Salim Ismail on the Age of Technological Disruption. One Community: Open Source Global Sustainability Collaborative for The Highest Good of All. Eco Villages. The unstoppable rise of the collaborative economy. My work at REconomy Project has inspired me to believe that a credible alternative to our current system is now emerging at an incredible rate.
In this 12 minute TEDx talk I explore the unstoppable rise of the collaborative economy. The problem is that I’ve long been a fan of TED and given the opportunity to do a talk I got so nervous and cut the talk short by about 5 mins. Firstly, here’s the video of the talk and below I’ve elaborated some of the missing detail. Some of the most important gaps are in the information economy and collaborative economy sections.

Well you also know that one of our favorite ways of exploring and thinking about this, is by looking at really awesome futuristic design concepts! There is almost nothing more exciting (and fulfilling) than going where no man (or Woman!) Has gone before, and creating something new – a new object, a new idea for an object, an idea for making things better, whatever.
Making new things (or making something better) is the lifeblood of most creatives (designer or not). We have written about & showcased a lot of futurist, unbelievable, & down right innovative designs in the past – so this is kind of an update, with some new perspective and revisiting the old stuff as well to give you even more resources to supplement that big imagination of yours on your next futuristic design concept, or the next time you do anything! Future By Design Awesome Futuristic Landscapes! This is pretty crazy detailed – click the image for hi-res! Human Resources. This video will CHANGE your life. Tijdlijnfoto's. Hodgkin lymphoma five year survival. World oil crisis Throughout this period, the world is thrown into turmoil, as oil and gas prices begin to spiral out of control – crippling many economies and triggering widespread social unrest.
Many countries in the West experience a decline in living standards, with oil rationing and conservation measures introduced by governments. There are sharp reductions in travel, tourism and aviation, leading to increased localisation of goods and services. Cheap access to light and sweet conventional crude oil had fuelled much of the world's growth and prosperity during the 20th century. However, production reached a plateau in the first decade of the 21st century,** resulting in a shift to "unconventional" sources like tar sands, shale, offshore wells and liquefied coal and gas. By the 2020s, the world's economy is in peril.
