The Internet is connecting people in ways that have not been possible before. A powerful world changing force is being unleashed through the connection of vast numbers of people, and this force is one to be reckoned with. It drives people to collaborate and innovate faster than ever before, and even seems to have the power to ignite revolutions. Is this the early stages of development of a force similar to the one referred to in the Star Wars films?
TED is one example of a place to share ideas, ideas which prior to the Internet would have not been shared. In my spare time I no longer watch regular television shows, but dip into the world of others who are working on inspirational and life changing ideas. A prime example of online collaboration at its best is the The Legion of Extradorinay dancers. The Legion is a collection of dancers who have learned to dance not through traditional classes, but by watching others on YouTube. Check out the video here:
Another recently viewed favorite of mine is a talk John Hardy delivers on his Green School in Bali. Built entirely out of grass (Bamboo) this school is pushing the boundaries of low carbon buildings.
