Just imagine the brain power when people from all the different continents can come together and collaborate to find solutions to the biggest problems of our day.

In 100 years, everyone on the planet will be connected to the internet. Everyone will have access to the world’s knowledge. We will all be connected into an emerging global mind. Not thinking one thought, the power of this will be from the diversity of ideas and different perspectives from all over the world. Matt Ridley wrote about how throughout history innovation has usually occurred in cities because that is where people from different perspectives could bump into each other more and come up with new ideas. Just imagine the brain power when people from all the different continents can come together and collaborate to find solutions to the biggest problems of our day. I loved reading that a scientist from The University of Washington posted an unsolved problem involving AIDS DNA and made it into an online game. Within 10 days, people from all over the world were able to solve it. This is just the beginning. In 100 years, we will be living in The Age of Collaboration.
