author of 'a whole new mind' in which he argues that the right-brainers will rule the future. he opened with a short thin about the best of speeches. they are:
brevity
levity
repetition
'a metaphor is worth a thousand pictures'
abundance: he argues that the material standard of living in the developed world is stunning. it is phenominal how those in the advanced economies live. take automobiles. today there are more automobiles than liscened drivers. take a look at self-storage world. $21 billion industry. there is a GAP between rising levels of prosperity and happiness/satisfaction. the ddveloped economy is focused on self-acutalization.
asia: offshoring. way overhyped. the number of jobs lost to offshoring is way overhyped in the short term. but far underplayed in the long run.
automation: missed this part.
hard to outsource, hard to automate and must be unique. this is the way to survive.
