We are predicting the future by creating it ourselves.

It's a magical time.

Male Voiceover: A lot has happened

in the last hundred years.

-: Our intuition about the future is linear.

-: But today the world is global and exponential.

-: Your smartphone is actually

billions of times more powerful

per dollar than the computer I used

when I went to college.

-: Singularity University is a place that teaches about

exponentially growing technologies.

Those technologies doubling in power, year on year.

Computation, centers, networks, artificial intelligence,

robotics, 3D printing, virtual and

augmented realities, synthetic biology.

All of these are technologies that are riding on

increasing computational power.

And these are the technologies that are

gonna be changing our world.

-: Allen Kay said, "The best way to predict the

"future is to invent it."

-: If all you do is coast, eventually you

slow down while others catch up and pass you by.

Male Voiceover: We are living in the most

extraordinary time ever in human history.

Male Speaker: You have the ability as individuals

and as small teams to literally do what

only governments and large corporations

could have done in decades past.

-: I don't care if you work at

Coca-Cola, or you're a start-up, policy maker,

you work for the government, are you doing meaningful work.

(bright music)

Male Speaker: The more people solving problems,

the better the world gets.

It's a mindset and a power that has

never been possible before.
