surrounding, encircling, enveloping
the ability to find anyone or anything from anywhere at anytime

ApopheniaThe spontaneous perception
of connections and meaningfulness in unrelated
things.
Futurism doesn’t mean predicting an awesome wonder; rather it means recognizing and describing a small apparent oddity that is destined to become a great commonplace.

[email protected] the world -- nearly three billion people -- live on less than two dollars a day.
A few hundred millionaires now own as much wealth as the world's poorest 2.5 billion people.
Nearly a billion people entered the 21st century unable to read a book or sign their names.
The proportion of human kind living in poverty has fallen faster in the past 50 years than in the previous 500 years.
The extension of basic immunisation over the past two decades has saved the lives of three million children.

Chained Libraries
In the Middle Ages there were few books, and those that did exist were usually kept locked in chests or cupboards, or chained to desks in a church.
“This book belongs to the monastery of St. Mary of Robert's Bridge, whosoever shall steal it, sell
it or in any way alienate it from this house, or mutilate it, let him be forever cursed.”

Print, film, magnetic, and optical storage media produced about 5 exabytes of new information in
2002. Ninety-two percent of the new information was stored on magnetic media, mostly in hard disks.
How big is five exabytes? If digitized, the nineteen million books and other print collections in the Library of Congress
would contain about ten terabytes of information; five exabytes of information is equivalent in size to the
information contained in half a million new libraries the size of the Library of Congress print collections.
Although the Internet is the newest medium for information flows, it is the fastest growing new medium of all time, becoming the information
medium of first resort for its users.

“Executives routinely rely on their intuitions to solve complex problems when logical methods (such as a cost-benefit analysis) simply won’t do.”
“Your mind continuously processes information that you are not consciously aware of, not only when you’re asleep and dreaming but also when you’re awake. This helps explain the ‘aha’ sensation you experience when you learn something you actually already knew.”

“In the information age to come, cameras and databases will sprout like poppies – or weeds – whether we like it or not. Over the long haul, we as a people must decide the following questions:
Can we stand living exposed to scrutiny, our secrets laid open, if in return we get flashlights of our own that we can shine on anyone who might do us harm – even the arrogant and strong?
Or is an illusion of privacy worth any price, even the cost of surrendering our own right to pierce the schemes of the powerful?”

Scenario Planning
• Scenarios are stories about the way the world might turn out tomorrow.
• Scenarios are not predictions. It is simply not possible to predict the future with certainty.
• An old Arab proverb says that “he who predicts the future lies even if he tells the truth.”
• Scenario planning is about making choices today with an understanding of how they might turn out.
36
Scenario Planning Process
1. What is the Focal Issue or Decision?2. What are the Key Factors (Local)?3. What are the Driving Forces (Macro)?4. Rank by Importance and Uncertainty.5. Select Scenario Logics.6. Flesh out the Scenarios.7. Consider Implications.8. Identify Leading Indicators and Signposts.
