The web created more transparency than anybody ever anticipated.

The Real Revolution within our times...

AROUND THE WORLD: As if with a vengeance, the best among our thinkers continue popping up with ideas that become a new business that virtually jumps from $0-to-$billion overnight!

In this episode of the show we meet people who give us clues as to what it means to be living at the speed of light. This is the real revolution. And it is all still picking up momentum. This is the front edge of a business revolution that will give us explosive growth companies that will actually out perform Microsoft, Yahoo, Ebay, Amazon and yes, even Google.

Some of the best, the most-creative among us, will more-fully integrate some aspect of the greatest corporate convergence in history -- Broadcasting - Information - Communications - Education - Publishing - Systems. The result will be "the next big thing." The audacious, out-of-the-box thinkers, will lead us. Because of our new efficiencies and abilities to pick up and turn around quickly, essentially "small business" can have, and will have, the biggest impact on the unfolding of the future.

This convergence redefines everything.

Here technology creates a true paradigm shift; it truly moves us to a life at the speed of light. Today, after having gone around the world to find people who are leading the way, out on the edge, we attempt to answer the question, "Where did we come from and where are we going?" Our conclusions, like everyone who tries to see the future, are formative. But we know this, we are all becoming increasingly all-present and all-knowing. We are no longer old Sir Issac Newton progenies, but increasingly Einstein prodigies. We are beginning to see ourselves, our world and the universe in very new ways.

Transparency is good and this transparency goes way beyond investments.

Though the web is abused by many and sometimes it feels nothing on it should be trusted, quite the opposite is true. Happening just under the surface, the web is beginning to know each of us profoundly. Every nuance, every utterance, it is all being recorded and the web is quickly linking it all together.

We thought that "Big Brother" would be watching us. Turns out that we will all be watching each other. Anything and everything each of us does is being documented somewhere.

The last links, knowledge management tools, that compile data and make it all useful information, are in place and getting better. An online profile is evolving about everyone on this planet and its memory seems absolute. As we all begin to grasp this new reality, we will all naturally become producers, crafting our life story and its meaning and value from cradle to grave.
