TEDxNASA - Daniel Burrus - Seeing Invisible Solutions to Impossible Problems

He is convinced -- technological, social and business forces are
converging to create enormous untapped opportunities. In 1983,
Daniel Burrus was the first and only futurist to accurately identify the
20 technologies that would become the driving forces of business and
economic change. He has continued to hold a worldwide reputation for his
exceptional record for predicting the future of technological change and
its impact on the business world. He has authored six books, including
the international best seller Technotrends, and his newest book, Flash
Foresight: How To See the Invisible and Do the Impossible. The New York
Times has called Burrus one of America's top three business "gurus."

About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

12 Years ago, Daniel Burrus already premonished what will be the future be like to the people out there and no one thought it could be possible at the moment. Excellent!

What's also invisible to most people is their own "power" to solve problems. Many don't have a core belief that "they" have any input into change.

I think one of the GREATEST epiphanies a human being can undertake is the "AWAKENING" of their own power!! Most difficult problems usually have a SIMPLE solution... Why most people can't see past them is because they attempt to jump and grab the top of it, instead of build a staircase and ascend with ease.. :)
