THINK 2016: “How Life As We Know It Is Changing”
Watch Daniel Ben-Ami, Jimmy McLoughlin, and Dr Steve Davies (Chair) take part in our THINK 2016 panel: “How Life As We Know It Is Changing”
—
Has innovation tailed off or are we at the start of a series of transformations? What can we look forward to from science, technology and business? Will we all live as long as Biblical patriarchs? What will be the big technology hits of the near future? How wealthy might ordinary people become? What will everyday life be like two decades from now?
