How will the United States of America look like in the future? Just take the year 2027 and think about that year. Here are some possible trends for the future of America. Some predictions in the movie are:
- Kids will not speak English but internet
- Gas will cost $0,00 because there won't be any left
- The average American will become 137 years old
- The internet will have replaced every library
Not an unthinkable scenario at all!

Didn't think a cartoon I made one night when I had insomnia would spark conversations, but I'm glad people actually watch it.13 August 2007 om 8:49

People will always need physical places. I think libraries know perfectly well that they have to change and they do. Just visit a library once in a while and you notice that people come there to read the magazines they don't have at home, to study or to use the internet (yes, libraries are the best internet-café's!).And if you would like to know if a modern library knows how to connect to the youth: the public library of Heerlen is hosting a LAN-party on their 100MB network, August 23th, so take a look then
If you would like to know more about the philosophy of a modern library, take a look at this TED-video from Seattle library architect, Joshua Prince-Ramus: http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/49

@ Sven, I totally agree about the value of a library. But I still wonder if libraries will exist in the future. The last time I went to a library was several years ago and I then I also asked myself the question: who will visit the libary the most? Is it the young ones or the elderly? This because I think the future generation will get their information via the digital world. They also connect and have their social network online. So who knows anything about the trends in visitors for libararies?12 August 2007 om 9:50

Well, the library prediction is a little bit pessimistic New libraries like the ones built in Seattle and Amsterdam show that these institutions can happily coexist with developments like the internet. A library is not only a place to read books, most importantly it's a public community space (and one of the last). Libraries support not only access to information but also navigating that information and sharing information in a local context. Very valuable!-----

Een unieke documentaire waar je ook echt even voor moet zitten want hij duurt zo'n 12 uur. Maar het onderwerp van de documentaire is dan ook eindeloos zou je kunnen zeggen. The reality of me wil onze wereld waarin we leven op een eenvoudige manier beschrijven.
Het is een bekend fenomeen. De kracht van de computer om ons mensen er nog mooier maar vaak onechter uit te laten zien. Filmproducent Jesse Rosten creëerde een 'parodie commercial' omtrent de maatschappelijke normen en waarden rondom schoonheid en de rol van de schoonheidsindustrie hierin.
Een mooie en inspirerende video over het belang van vragen stellen en om nieuwsgierig te zijn en te blijven. Voor veel management is deze video wel een 'must see'!
Het internet heeft sinds haar ontstaan veel veranderingen teweeg gebracht. Google is hieromtrent een speciale website gestart die moet uitgroeien tot een uiterst interessante verzameling van wetenswaardigheden over de impact van het internet.
Microsoft Research heeft hoge ogen gegooid met hun 3d hologram dat ook nog tastbaar is. Nu hebben we al eerder over ontwikkelingen binnen de 'hologram wereld' gesproken maar Microsoft Research zet weer een belangrijke stap met hun Vermeer project.

@Greg, I think it is a very amusing clip. Did this in one night? Well great work!
