12.29.10: We have seen this approach in movies and it's about time it became more main-stream in this technological world we now live in. Certainly does allow us to absorb a lot of information quickly.This world health change visualization, at first glance, indicates great world-wide health improvement in the last 200 years.
On the other hand, from a futures perspective, it looks like trouble ahead ... can our world handle this speed of increased life expectancy with growing populations in the next 200 years?
Also, if you noticed, average income in China and India, in the last 30 years, is increasing more quickly than the industrialized countries - cost of labour intensive goods will increase.
However, knowing this should allow us to create near future opportunities from future problems.
For instance, this xmas season saw emphasis on shipping (online purchases).
Larger populations mean more customers. But manual shopping is becoming more difficult due to time to purchase. More people will shop online which mean more shipping ... maybe time to invest in the shipping industry as well as companies who emphasize online shopping. eBay saw this quite a while ago. Companies like Walmart and BestBuy haven't picked up on this yet.
All this, and much more, from a single YouTube presentation...
