The data-driven information age has precipitated massive disruption. 90% of the world’s data was created in the past 2 years, and real-time analytics has produced foundational shifts to civilization. Our underlying metaphors and worldviews are fundamentally changing as our perception of the NOW becomes shorter, and basic clock-rate of our lives gets faster.

Outlining the dramatic implications as our technology, thinking, and culture shift from the future-oriented focus of the Industrial Age to the now-centric focus of the Information Age, he’ll explore the future of the present.
