It is a blizzard of bad news out there: an ongoing economic crisis, a burgeoning education crisis, health-care turmoil, energy poverty, water scarcity--to name but a few of our fears. So pervasive is our sense of doom and gloom that anyone telling a different story can rarely be heard. But there is a very different story worth hearing.

Currently, thanks to the exponential growth rate of technology combined with three powerful emerging trends, we are teetering on the edge of a much better tomorrow. Imagine a world where everyone has access to clean water, nutritious food, affordable housing, personalized education, top-tier medical care, nonpolluting and ubiquitous energy. Imagine a world of abundance.
