Where are we? Is this another bubble? I think the image projected behind every panel discussion at iSummit tells the story: what we are looking at is the tip of an iceberg that none of us on our own can fully comprehend.

I speculate that during that transition period, new kinds of arbitrage opportunities will present themselves. There may indeed be a role for government here, and I think that role is to support innovation at the "meta idea" level. I think the specific structures that will support long-run sustainable innovation and generate private profits and a social return will need to come from experiments designed by the community itself.

Eventually the change and progression to the Attention Economy may happen, but we are in a transitory period and what does this mean for companies, governments, and people. What can organizations or governments do to leverage the impending changes? Investments in education, opening of boarders, what are the near-term actions to improve the human condition?
