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?

Futurist Gerd Leonhard will share his foresights and explore the key ‘networked society’ scenarios.
