I was lucky enough to go to TedxGlobal streaming at the National Media Museum. The first speaker was the historian Niall Ferguson who was speaking about how the West economy had succeeded in history - he mentioned the 6 Killer Apps, which are not in any order
- Competition
- Scientific Revolution
- Property rights
- Modern medicine
- Consumer Society
- Work Ethic
It made me think about how this list would look like in a 100 years time - when we are probably talking about South America, China, India and possibly parts of Africa. This is what I came up with - the 6 Killer Apps of the Future
- Competition
- Scientific Revolution
- Intellectual Property Rights
- Connectivity (in its general sense)
- Social entrepreneurship - (reducing power of governments?)
- Creative ethic
What would yours be?
