new long life

Andrew J. Scott and Lynda Gratton

Smart new technologies. Longer, healthier lives. Human progress has risen to great heights, but at the same time it has prompted anxiety about where we’re heading. Are our jobs under threat? If we live to 100, will we ever really stop working? And how will this change the way we love, manage and learn from others?

One thing is clear: advances in technology have not been matched by the necessary innovation to our social structures. In our era of unprecedented change, we haven’t yet discovered new ways of living.

Drawing from the fields of economics and psychology, Andrew J Scott and Lynda Gratton offer a simple framework based on three fundamental principles (Narrate, Explore and Relate) to give you the tools to navigate the challenges ahead.

Benedict Evans

Benedict Evans

Every year, Benedict produce a presentation digging into macro and strategic trends in the tech industry.

This year’s report, Standing on the shoulders of giants, asks what the Next Big Thing will be, now that 4 billion people have a smartphone, everyone is willing to do anything online and mobile is boring.

The internet has expanded from commodity e-commerce and advertising to transforming much broader parts of the economy for many more people. Meanwhile, we wonder about cars, VR, smart home, machine learning and crypto as future trends. 

What happens when everyone is online? When we connected everyone, we connected the bad people as well – now that the internet has become an integral part of society, it reflects and amplifies all of society’s problems.

Join this dial-in to hear Benedict’s views.
