This document discusses emerging trends in technology, work, and society that are enabling new forms of collaboration and value creation. Key points include: - The rise of a global "mobile" workforce not constrained by traditional work schedules or locations due to technologies like mobile phones and cloud computing. - Knowledge is increasingly gained through open online courses and sharing of information rather than traditional top-down consumption of content. - New platforms are enabling communities to collaboratively create software, hardware, and other goods through open source models rather than traditional firms. - Emerging technologies like 3D printing, robotics, and virtual/augmented reality will further disrupt existing industries and social structures. - Finance is becoming decentralized
