Trend: innovation
Title: Are You Ready for the 21st Century ? on Vimeo
Comment: ok, so technically not innovation, I struggled how to categorize this one. Its very good, and talks about our time in light of a larger timeline, and attempts to predict the future, which is really what I try to do daily. Regardless, watch it. There is some lovely stuff on the future.. Based on the past and what we see happening now. Very interesting both the content and the delivery
