This is the edited PDF of my presentation at the Online Information Conference 2012 see http://www.online-information.co.uk/static/programme-overview Everybody is talking about 'data is the new oil' aka big-data. SoLoMo (social local mobile) is the battle cry of the day. Human-machine interfaces are rapidly evolving and may quickly become commonplace (think Google Glasses, MSFT Kinect), artificial intelligence is the geek-phrase-of-the-day, and Kurzweil says the singularity is near/here. So how will our world really change in the next 5 years, i.e. the way we communicate, get information, create, buy and sell, travel, live and learn? What are the biggest threats and the hottest opportunities - not just in financial terms, but also in societal and human terms? Futurist Gerd Leonhard will share his foresights and explore the key 'networked society' scenarios.

Data spills are becoming increasingly likely

Do you agree or disagree:We can rely on algorithms to measure most of what and who matters

The ‘hedonic treadmill’ will get old :=)

But the Publicy Default is accelerating

But regardless of value, control and trustwe will probably start paying real $ for privacy
