This is what the book is all about: Are you ready for the greatest changes in recent human history? Futurism meets humanism in Gerd Leonhard’s ground-breaking new work of critical observation, discussing the multiple Megashifts that will radically alter not just our society and economy but our values and our biology. Wherever you stand on the scale between techno mania and nostalgia for a lost world, this is a book to challenge, provoke, warn and inspire.

Beautifully filmed with an important vision and even more important question. It really made me think. (And shiver just a little.)

Great video - well done to you Gerd and your team. It's great to have a (positive) balanced future view. Many thanks

Avec la progression exponentielle de toutes les technologies de pointe actuelles nous avons ouvert la boîte de Pandore. Le meilleur et le pire peuvent en sortir. A nous de voir...M. Leonhard tire la sonnette d'alarme sans renier les avantages incontestables de ces technologies dans l'épanouissement de l'humanité.

Dear Leonherd, met you at an event in São Paulo, and saw that it is a great scholar, por'm realize it is very concerned about the privacy and the cure of diseases. As we study the control of existing energy in any movement, both of enormous quantities with the planet or smaller as the atom, no longer will have to communicate with fear, teasing, and simply loving, ie learning and sensinando all the time that all we can evolve together. hug.

Hi Gerd L., I agree with your view of the future. I agree that it is the human characteristics of imagination, creativity, integrity etc. which technology and robots cannot replace. Because of this, I believe it is time to consider changing our school curriculums to reflect the inevitable changes coming. I'm particularly concerned with the study of ethics, morality and healthy character development in our schools. Our children and we adults too, need to be aware of the dangers that technology without a moral integrity can create.

Thank's, the walking to be in the future this more form.

Hello, Mr. Gerd Leonhard. I am Professor Luis Alayon from Venezuela. It is an interesting point of view, however, I think we don't have to be scared about evolution of technology, because as you said technology has no ethics. It is our responsibility to direct technology to help people. For example, doctors use technology to treat and cure diseases. Teachers use technology to connect with another College to teach in a virtual way.

...These advances can be more dangerous than new clear weapons.

[Yelile]

Is it possible to find your videos with spanish subtitles? I found them very interesting and would love to spread them with People around. I live in México.

I will come with you if i am alive but can tell you something. Me I like breath fresh air, eat fresh and healthy food with no any chemicals in it, drink fresh water from the mountain or from the rivers, because i am a human and always humans like to have quality life but unfortunately my friend technology can't give me nothing from all of them. All of these are 3 billion years old value of earth life.

In the fight for perfection their will still be those thAt are oppressed by those that wish to be superior in the idea of unworthy or incapable 👽 as it always has been for generations because people not having a mind set or skill color or defined by the idea of who is a man or ability to lead or what defines a woman’s role in society. what will the poor be named as out modes?....that can’t afford upgrades to their body or cyber world around them, or your child that can’t complete a school project without a necessary cyber mode to the eyes or mind... something so innocently looked at could be the biggest problem as it always has been for thousands of years. name calling and looked down up on will always continue their will always be those that continue to break free of those bonds.

[nickrobinson]

With all due respect, never once have you mentioned the environment or nature. Let’s clean up the mess we’ve made before we build the future of uncertainties by not addressing existing and emerging challenges, including pollution and climate change.

I am enthusiastic about technology and recognise its wonders, and all the positive things it will bring, yet I believe we must address urgent issues without losing focus on this aim. Global warming, water scarcity, famine, deforestation, and sea pollution are pressing environmental issues.

Terminator is real, humans will be fighting for life against machines in the next 50 years . Because of a four letter word, Data!!!

Optimistic happy-go-lucky fluff. Our destruction of the environment and biodiversity capital will catch up with us if we aren't under water first.
