Inspiration is conveyed to others by someone who is him/herself inspired! That's Peter Diamandis it seems (yesterday's post).
He's an optimist, full of faith in the future. Really, you should see his TED Talk, "Abundance is Our Future." We live in an extraordinary time - no other time in the life of humanity has seen so little poverty, so many possibilities.
Imagine a "tricorder" that you can cough on to get a better diagnosis than you could from a "board of certified doctors", that can prevent a pandemic anywhere in the world before it gets going.
Image a billion people soon having access to the internet (almost all the information on earth) resulting in "contributions we can't predict" - yes.
Disclaimer: I've written about things I admire in this individual, but it's not some kind of blanket agreement. I think he's left out an important factor that will influence our future as it has our history (see "Moral limits" tomorrow).
