What does the Parallel Bang mean to your organisation, our
community, our society and our world?
World economics, work, education and leisure are
being transformed before our very eyes.
In the last decade, we've tripled our knowledge
of astronomy, pinpointed the age and size of the cosmos, counted
its galaxies, and found the theory that will link all known physics
of the universe. The patent rate has more than doubled. We've
decoded out genome. We've doubled our life expectancy. We've changed
the workforce and the workweek. We've engineered machines a few
atoms in size. More than two thirds of the citizens of the western
world are now linked to the Internet.
Futurist, technological historian and NASA engineer
Dr Jack Bacon presents a compelling vision that human thought
- which houses the parallel universe of all the models
of the physical universe - is undergoing an explosive new
phase of development not unlike the surge that occurred in the
Renaissance. This time, however, it's taking less than a decade,
and it's on an exponential trajectory that will take humanity
to amazing new heights. In these few thousand days we're living
through something of astounding significance as computing, communications,
medicine, psychology, politics, transportation, agriculture, and
world economics all "throw on the afterburners."
Fasten your seatbelt and prepare for the explosive
growth of understanding in the 21st century.
