In today’s episode, we touch upon the following topics:
- Biggest picture – the Universe (looking for patterns)
- No straight lines in the Universe; either converging or diverging
- Convergence on Earth – because of computers and the Internet
- Network yields to the power, but ultimately gets rid of it
- Business needs to be thinking in terms of convergence
- Profit – filter of information
- Primary scarcities – time and attention
- Abundance – US is leading it
- Converging, sharing, being part of a bigger pie, growing exponentially.
- Information is going to be free. Sharing is having more – breaking from the paradigm of scarcity.
- Dynamic Value
- Value = Quality / Price
- Pet rock – fad, because there was no opportunity cascade
- Create value that people are willing to exchange for money; more valuable than the money they have.
- Value will be more intangible.
- Technology and education
